  2. Gas constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_constant

    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:

  3. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

    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 ...

    The equation PV = nRT represents the ideal gas law, where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the temperature. Gibbs's free energy formula

  5. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_equation

    The van der Waals equation is a mathematical formula that describes the behavior of real gases.It is an equation of state that relates the pressure, temperature, and molar volume in a fluid.

  6. Isothermal process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 ...

  7. Gas laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laws

    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.

  8. Relations between heat capacities - Wikipedia

    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

  9. Avogadro's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro's_Law

    The law can be written as: or = where V is the volume of the gas;; n is the amount of substance of the gas (measured in moles);; k is a constant for a given temperature and pressure.
