Quick answer

PV = nRT, with R = 0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K).

PV = nRT

How to use the Ideal Gas Law Calculator

Frequently asked questions

What are STP conditions?

Standard temperature and pressure is commonly 0°C (273.15K) and 1 atm, where one mole occupies 22.4 L.

Does this work for real gases?

The ideal gas law is a good approximation for most gases at moderate pressure and temperature.
