P1V1 = P2V2<br />

T1<br />

It is important to note that the temperature should always be in Kelvin, so if the given units are in<br />

Celsius, then those should be converted to Kelvin by adding 273.<br />

450 mL of a gas occupies a container that has a temperature of 28°C and a pressure of 788 mmHg.<br />

What is the temperature if the volume is reduced to 50 mL at 760 mmHg? As the unit of<br />

measurement is in Celsius, remember to convert it to Kelvin.<br />

T2<br />

4. A closed gas system initially has pressure and temperature of 1160torr and 542K with the volume<br />

unknown. If the same closed system has values of 912torr, 9720mL and 686K, what was the initial<br />

volume in L?<br />

Ideal Gas Equation<br />

The relations known as Boyle's law, Charles' law, and Avogadro's law can be combined into an<br />

exceedingly useful formula called the Ideal Gas Equation,<br />

where R denotes the gas constant:<br />

PV = nRT<br />

The temperature is, as always in gas equations, measured in Kelvin.<br />
