Chapter 11 Lecture Basic Chemistry Fourth Edition Chapter 11 Gases 11.8 The Ideal Gas Law Learning Goal Use the ideal gas law equation to solve for P, V, T, or n of a gas when given three of the four variables in the ideal gas law equation. Calculate density, molar mass, or volume of a gas in a chemical reaction.
The Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT The ideal gas law is a combination of the four properties (P, V, n, and T), written as a single expression: PV = nRT. Rearranging the ideal gas law equation shows that the four properties are equal to the gas law constant, R, equal to 0.0821 L atm per mol K.
The Ideal Gas Law Using a different unit for pressure, 760 mmHg, gives us another value for R, 62.4 L mmHg, per mol K.

Molar Mass of a Gas Another use of the ideal gas law is to determine the molar mass of a gas. Dividing the mass of gas by the moles of gas gives the molar mass of the gas. Given the mass, in grams, of gas, we can calculate the number of moles of the gas using the ideal gas law equation.
