  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

Input reference and sample values

Use the units and choices shown for each field. Sample values are provided for practice, not as recommendations.

InputFormat and unitsSample
Amount of gasNumeric value. Unit: mol. Must be greater than zero.1
Absolute temperatureNumeric value. Unit: K. Must be greater than zero.298.15
VolumeNumeric value. Unit: m³. Must be greater than zero.0.024

Result for these sample inputs

103289.876 Pa

Select Try the example in the form to load these values and calculate them again. This replaces the current form inputs. Compare the result with the method and worked explanation below.

The method, explained

Pressure = nRT/V, with R = 8.31446261815324 J/(mol·K).

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using amount of gas = 1 mol, absolute temperature = 298.15 K, volume = 0.024 m³, the result is 103289.876 Pa. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

Ideal gas law is an approximation for real gases. An idealized educational model using the stated SI units. Real systems may need additional forces, losses or experimental measurements. Not a safety or equipment specification.
