💨 Gas Laws

Explore Boyle's Law, Charles's Law, and the Ideal Gas Law interactively.

10
Pressure: 1.0 atm
Constant: T = 300 K, n = 1 mol

Boyle's Law: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

At constant temperature, pressure is inversely proportional to volume. Decrease the volume and watch the gas particles crowd together, increasing pressure.

300
Volume: 10.0 L
Constant: P = 1 atm, n = 1 mol

Charles's Law: V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. Heat the gas and watch it expand.

Volume: 24.6 L
Formula: PV = nRT (R = 0.0821)

Ideal Gas Law: PV = nRT

Combines Boyle's and Charles's laws. Adjust pressure, temperature, and moles to see how volume changes. R = 0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K).
