Guide to Using the Ideal Gas Law Calculator

Step 1: Input Field Selection

Select and enter necessary values for the calculator to compute the desired result.

  • Pressure (P): Enter the value of pressure. This field requires a non-negative number.
  • Pressure Unit: Choose the appropriate unit for pressure from the following options:
    • atm
    • Pascal (Pa)
    • kiloPascal (kPa)
  • Volume (V): Enter the volume value in the input field. This should be a non-negative number.
  • Volume Unit: Select the correct unit for volume, which could be:
    • Liters (L)
    • Milliliters (mL)
    • Cubic meters (m³)
  • Number of Moles (n): Provide the number of moles, ensuring it’s a positive number.
  • Temperature (T): Enter the temperature and ensure it’s a non-negative number.
  • Temperature Unit: Choose the temperature unit from:
    • Kelvin (K)
    • Celsius (°C)
    • Fahrenheit (°F)

Step 2: Compute the Results

Once you have entered all the necessary values correctly, the calculator will compute the following results based on the respective calculation logic:

  • Pressure (P) Result: Calculated using the formula (moles * 0.08206 * (temperature + temperatureUnit)) / volume. The result is displayed in atm with four decimal places.
  • Volume (V) Result: Computed using the formula (moles * 0.08206 * (temperature + temperatureUnit)) / pressure. The result is shown in Liters (L) with four decimal places.
  • Number of Moles (n) Result: Determined by the formula (pressure * volume) / (0.08206 * (temperature + temperatureUnit)). The result is presented in moles (mol) with a precision of four decimal places.
  • Temperature (T) Result: Evaluated using the formula (pressure * volume) / (moles * 0.08206), resulting in temperature in Kelvin (K) with four decimal places.

Step 3: Verify and Analyze the Results

Review the output results for accuracy. If any errors or discrepancies exist, ensure all input values are entered in the correct units and within the logical, non-negative range.

Analyze the results in context of your scenario, and interpret what the calculations signify for your usage of the Ideal Gas Law.
