How to use the Ideal Gas Law Calculator

The Ideal Gas Law Calculator works out your pressure (p) in an instant. Enter amount of gas (n), temperature (t) and volume (v) and the result updates as you type — it is free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser so your figures stay private.

  1. Enter the amount of gas (n).
  2. Enter the temperature (t).
  3. Enter the volume (v).
  4. Read off your pressure (p) — the calculator updates automatically, with no button to press.

Formula

The Ideal Gas Law Calculator uses the formula:

Pressure (P) = Amount of gas (n) × 0.082057 × Temperature (T) ÷ Volume (V)

Worked example

For example, with amount of gas (n) of 1 mol, temperature (t) of 273 K and volume (v) of 22.4 L, the pressure (p) is 1.0001.

Inputs used
Amount of gas (n) 1 mol
Temperature (T) 273 K
Volume (V) 22.4 L
Results
Pressure (P) 1.0001

Key terms explained

Volume
The amount of three-dimensional space an object occupies, measured in cubic units.

Frequently asked questions

It relates pressure, volume, amount and temperature: PV = nRT. Solving for pressure gives P = nRT ÷ V.

It uses R = 0.082057 L·atm/(mol·K), so the pressure comes out in atmospheres with volume in litres and temperature in kelvin.

Gas laws use absolute temperature. Convert Celsius to kelvin by adding 273.15 before entering it.

At 273 K and a volume of 22.4 litres, one mole of an ideal gas is at about 1 atmosphere, which the default values show.
