What the equation means

Summary diagram of the ideal gas equation with each symbol labelled and SI unit conversions for pressure, volume, and temperature

The ideal gas equation links the four quantities that control gas behaviour: pressure, volume, amount of gas, and temperature. Its symbolic form is shown below:

pV=nRT pV=nRT pV=nRT

Step-by-step lessons on AQA A Level Chemistry The ideal gas equation. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build confidence with atomic structure, bonding and moles calculations early on, since these underpin the more demanding organic mechanisms, equilibrium and practical-analysis topics that dominate Year 2.
