Solve for:
P = n × R × T ÷ V
Gas Container
Gas constant: R = 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹  (pressure in kPa, volume in dm³)
Enter values above to calculate
IB Chemistry S1.5: The ideal gas equation PV = nRT describes the behaviour of gases under ideal conditions. Remember: temperature must be in Kelvin, pressure in kPa, and volume in dm³ when using R = 8.314.
