[edit] Ideal gasses

[edit] Equation of state

An ideal gas has the following equation of state:

$p V = ν R T$

Where p is pressure, V is volume, $ν = m / μ$ is number of moles observed, $R = N A k B = 6.022$ J/(mol·K) is a universal gas constant.

The gas constant has a value of 8.314 J/(mol.K) or 0.0821 (L*atm)/(mol*K)
