Isotherms of an ideal gas for different temperatures. The curved lines are rectangular hyperbolae of the form y = a/x. They represent the relationship between pressure (on the vertical axis) and volume (on the horizontal axis) for an ideal gas at different temperatures: lines that are farther away from the origin (that is, lines that are nearer to the top right-hand corner of the diagram ...
From the ideal gas law PV = nRT we get: = where P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles of a given substance, and T is temperature. As pressure is defined as force per area of measurement, the gas equation can also be written as:
Some specific values of n correspond to particular cases: = for an isobaric process, = + for an isochoric process. In addition, when the ideal gas law applies: = for an isothermal process,
For the special case of a gas to which Boyle's law [4] applies, the product pV (p for gas pressure and V for gas volume) is a constant if the gas is kept at isothermal conditions. The value of the constant is nRT, where n is the number of moles of the present gas and R is the ideal gas constant. In other words, the ideal gas law pV = nRT ...

The proportionality constant, , when written in the form used above, has the dimension [pv 2] (pressure times molar volume squared), which is also molar energy times molar volume. The Sutherland potential (orange) represents two hard spheres that attract according to an inverse power law, and the Lennard-Jones potential (black) represents the ...
Solving for V/n, we thus obtain =. Compare that to = which is a constant for a fixed pressure and a fixed temperature. An equivalent formulation of the ideal gas law can be written using Boltzmann constant k B, as =,
This is a derivation to obtain an expression for for an ideal gas.. An ideal gas has the equation of state: =. where P = pressure V = volume n = number of moles R = universal gas constant
