Ideal gas law (Common form)
Description
The ideal gas law is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas. It is a good approximation to the behaviour of many gases under many conditions, although it has several limitations. The state of an amount of gas is determined by its pressure, volume, and temperature. The equation of state applies only to an ideal gas, or as an approximation to a real gas that behaves sufficiently like an ideal gas
