=The Ideal Gas Law= All the relationships we have learned so far are all combined into the __ideal gas law.__ The ideal gas law is the mathematical relationship among pressure, volume, temperature, and the number of moles of a gas. An ideal gas is a gas that is the perfect gas that follows all the guidelines. In this law R is known as the ideal gas constant which is usually rounded to .0821Latm/(molK)

PV=nRT
 * The Math**


 * Example:** What is the pressure in atmospheres exerted by a 0.600 mol sample of nitrogen gas in a 15.0 L container at 300 K?


 * Solution:**
 * 1) Rearrange the equation to get P by itself. P=nRT/V
 * 2) Plug in known numbers from given equation. (0.600 mol)(.0821Latm/(molK)(300 K)/15 L=.985 atm
