The ideal gas law is the equation in chemistry for the state of a hypothetical ideal gas, represented as PV=nRT.

Definitions of the variables

P: Pressure, or the amount of force applied over a surface area, units of pressure include Pascals, Atm, kPa, torr, or mmHg

V: Volume, the amount of space that a substance or object occupies, or that an enclosed space contained.

n: Number of mols, simply the amount of times 6.022*10^23 atoms are contained within the volume

R: The Gas Constant, a constant that is used in the ideal gas law and never changes

T: Temperature, or the amount of heat in the system, units of heat include Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin (Celsius+273.15) and Rankin (Fahrenheit + 459.67)
