IDEAL GAS EQUATION

The gas laws can be combined as a more general expression called the ideal gas equation or ideal gas law: PV = nRTIn this equation, n represents the number of moles of a gas. The constant R on the right-hand side of the equation is a universal constant and has a value of 8.31447 J/mol·K. This single equation can predict the behavior of a gas even if multiple conditions are changed simultaneously. If both the pressure and volume of a gas double, for example, its temperature will increase by a factor of four.
