About this calculator

Combined gas law: P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂ for fixed amount of gas. Combines Boyle, Charles, and Gay-Lussac into one. Useful when all three properties change. Hot air balloon rising into colder, lower-pressure air: V grows (T drops slower than P drops). T must be in Kelvin.

Frequently asked

Combined: same gas, two states. Ideal: absolute formula PV = nRT. Use combined when transforming between conditions; ideal when finding absolute properties.
