The Ideal Gas
Law
PV = nRT
 The Ideal Gas Law
PV = nRT
P = Pressure (in atm) V = Volume (in L)
T = Temperature (in K) n = moles
R = 0.0821 atm • L
K • mol
R is constant. If we are given three of P, V, n,
or T, we can solve for the unknown value.
Developing the ideal gas law equation
PV/nT = constant. What is the constant?
At STP: T= 273K, P= 1.0 atm, V= 22.4 L n=1mol

PV = R
Tn

At STP: (1. 0atm)(22.4 L) = (1 mol)(R)(273K)

R = 0.0821 atm • L
K • mol
 Sample problems

P = 1.25, n = 0.5 mol, T = 298 K

PV = nRT

(0.5mol)(0.0821 atm•L/K•mol)(293 K)
V=
1.25 atm

V = 9.8 L
