Chemistry

Combined Gas Law

Combine Boyle’s, Charles’ and Gay-Lussac’s laws.

P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂

Formula Explanation

For a fixed amount of gas, PV/T remains constant.

Variables Explained

P, V, T = pressure, volume, temperature.

Solved Example

V₁=2 L, P₁=1 atm, T₁=300 K. Find V₂ at 2 atm and 400 K.
V₂ = (1×2×400)/(2×300) = 1.33 L.
