The state of an amount of gas is determined by its pressure, volume, and temperature. The modern form of the equation relates these simply in two main forms. The temperature used in the equation of state is an absolute temperature: the appropriate SI unit is the kelvin. [4]
The laws describing the behaviour of gases under fixed pressure, volume, amount of gas, and absolute temperature conditions are called gas laws.The basic gas laws were discovered by the end of the 18th century when scientists found out that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to approximation for all gases.
For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. [2] Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship. If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when the temperature is held constant.
One way to write the van der Waals equation is: [8] [9] [10] = where is pressure, is temperature, and = / is molar volume. In addition is the Avogadro constant, is the volume, and is the number of molecules (the ratio / is a physical quantity with base unit mole (symbol mol) in the SI).

In 1968, Anderson developed (∂T/∂P) v =(αK)-1 for the thermal gradient, [7] and its reciprocal correlate the thermal pressure and temperature in a constant volume heating process by (∂P/∂T) v =αK. [8] Note, thermal pressure is the pressure change in a constant volume heating process, and expressed by integration of αK.
In physics and chemistry, an equation of state is a thermodynamic equation relating state variables, which describe the state of matter under a given set of physical conditions, such as pressure, volume, temperature, or internal energy.
The partial volume of a particular gas is a fraction of the total volume occupied by the gas mixture, with unchanged pressure and temperature. In gas mixtures, e.g. air, the partial volume allows focusing on one particular gas component, e.g. oxygen.
