Gas Laws Behind Pressure, Volume, and Heat

Gas laws explain how pressure, volume, temperature, and the amount of gas are related. For most common gases near normal conditions, these relationships are a useful model. They also help connect what happens on the microscopic level with what we can measure in a lab, such as pressure and volume.

The ideal gas law is a fundamental and useful relationship in science?as it describes the behavior of most common gases at near-ambient conditions.

The ideal gas law, PV=nRT, defines the relationship between the number of molecules of gas in a closed system and three measurable system variables: pressure, temperature, and volume.
