Definitions for "Ideal gas law"
Keywords:  nrt, boyle, moles, charles, equation
The volume of a gas is proportional to the amount of gas and its Kelvin temperature and inversely proportional to its pressure.
A relation among the four thermodynamic variables [Volume (V), absolute temperature (T), pressure (P), and mass, given in moles (n)] that govern the behavior of an ideal gas. This relation has the following form: PV = nRT in which R is the universal gas constant.
The generalized ideal gas law is derived from a combination of the laws of Boyle and Charles. Ideal gas law is the equation of state pV = RT which defines an ideal gas, where is pressure, molar volume, temperature, and the molar gas constant (8.314 JK-1mol
