What are Gas Laws?
Gas Laws are mathematical relationships that describe how pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of gas are related for ideal gases.
These laws help predict gas behavior in chemical reactions, industrial processes, and everyday situations like weather patterns.

Gas Law Formulas
- Ideal Gas Law: PV = nRT
- Boyle's Law: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
- Charles's Law: V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
- Gay-Lussac's Law: P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
- Combined: P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂
Key Concepts
- • Ideal Gas Assumption: No intermolecular forces and particles have no volume.
- • Temperature in Kelvin: Always use absolute temperature (Kelvin) in calculations.
- • STP Conditions: Standard temperature (273.15 K) and pressure (1 atm).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the Ideal Gas Law?
A: The Ideal Gas Law is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas. It is PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is amount of substance (moles), R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature.
Q: What is Boyle's Law?
A: Boyle's Law states that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature (P₁V₁ = P₂V₂).
Q: What is Charles's Law?
A: Charles's Law states that the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure (V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂).
