Definition of Ideal Gas Law



The ideal gas law is an equation given to a gas that is assumed to be ideal. This equation is also named as the general gas equation. It has some limitations yet it provides us with a better analysis of the behavior of a number of gases.

 


It is basically a combination of four laws of gases i.e., Boyle’s Law, Charles’s Law, Avogadro’s Law and Gay-Lussac’s Law. It is written as PV= nRT, where P is pressure, V is the volume, T is the temperature, n is the number of moles of the gas and R is the ideal gas constant. It was given by Benoit Clapeyron in 1834.
