How to calculate ideal gas law

The Ideal Gas Law relates pressure, volume, temperature, and moles of gas — this calculator solves for either pressure or volume depending on which values you provide.

How the calculation works

PV = nRT, solved as Pressure = (n×0.082057×T)÷V or Volume = (n×0.082057×T)÷P, where 0.082057 is the gas constant R in L·atm/(mol·K) and T is in Kelvin.

Example

Solving for pressure with 2 moles, 300K, and 10L volume: (2×0.082057×300)÷10 ≈ 4.92 atm.

Frequently asked questions

Pro Tips for Ideal Gas Law

  1. Temperature must always be in Kelvin for this formula to give correct results.
  2. This calculator offers two modes (solve for pressure, or solve for volume) — make sure you're providing the three known values needed for whichever you're solving.

Common Ideal Gas Law Mistakes to Avoid

  • Entering temperature in Celsius instead of converting to Kelvin first, which produces an incorrect result.
