Gas Laws

Learning outcomes - after studying this topic, you should be able to:
  • use the ideal gas law to relate the number of moles, pressure, volume and temperature of a gas
  • relate gas density and molar mass
  • convert between the common units of pressure (atm, Pa and mmHg)
  • use the appropriate value of the gas constant, R
