Question

What is $\mathrm{PV}=\mathrm{nRT}$ called?

Answer 1

1. The equation denotes the ideal gas law.
2. Ideal gas law states that the pressure is directly proportional to the number of moles and temperature, and inversely proportional to the volume.
3. The proportionality constant is the Universal gas constant denoted by the letter “R”.
4. $\mathrm{PV}=\mathrm{nRT}$ here, P denotes the pressure, V denotes the volume, and n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.
5. R is the gas constant which is equal to $8.314\frac{\mathrm{J}}{\mathrm{K}.\mathrm{mol}}$
