- Standard atmospheric pressure: 1 atm = 760 mmHg = 760 torr = 101.325 kPa = 1.01325 bar.
Gas Laws
Boyle's Law
- Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
- Formula: P ∝ 1/V, PV = k₁.

Charles's Law
- Volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
- Formula: V ∝ T, V = k₂T, V/T = k₂.
- For a given amount of gas at constant pressure: V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂.
- Use absolute temperature (Kelvin): K = °C + 273.15.
Avogadro's Law
- Volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles.
- Formula: V ∝ n, V = k₃n, V/n = k₃.
- For a gas at constant temperature and pressure: V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂.
Ideal Gas Law
- Combination of Boyle's, Charles's, and Avogadro's laws.
- Formula: PV = nRT, where R is the gas constant.
