Ideal gas law (temperature)

The Ideal Gas Law for Temperature calculator computes the temperature (T) of a gas based on the pressure (P), volume (V) and number of moles (n) using the Ideal Gas Law and the universal gas constant (R) .   

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (n) Amount of substance (gas)
• (P) Pressure
• (V) Volume

Gas Temperature (T):  The calculator returns the temperature in degrees Kelvin.  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The ideal gas law  is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas. It is a good approximation to the behavior of many gases under many conditions.  The ideal gas law is often represented in its common form: 

                             P⋅V = n⋅R⋅T

where:

• P - pressure of the gas
• T - temperature of the gas
• n - amount of the gas, typically specified in moles (mol)
• V - volume of the gas
• R - the universal gas constant

This calculator solves the Ideal Gas Law equation for temperature(T).
