P pressure [atm]
V volume [l]
n moles [mol]
T temperature [K]
R universal constant = 0.0821 atm l mol-1 K-1
= 8.311 Pa m3 mol-1 K-1
= 8.31 J mol-1 K-1

Given T and P, the molar volume of an ideal gas does not depend on
its chemical nature.

three simple gases at STP
density = m/V
n = m/MM
PV = nRT PV = (m/MM)RT
m/V = MM P/RT
The van der Waals equation of state for a real gas is:

For the ideal gas law or Dalton’s law, one may infer that the pressure
(or partial pressure) is proportional to the concentration of a
component in the gas (at constant temperature).
Pi = RT (ni/V)
