The ideal gas law, also called the general gas equation, is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas. It is a good approximation of the behavior of many gases under many conditions, although it has several limitations. (Source: Wikipedia)

The ideal gas equation is formulated as: PV = nRT.

Where,
P is the pressure of the ideal gas.
V is the volume of the ideal gas.
n is the amount of ideal gas measured in terms of moles.
R is the universal gas constant.
T is the temperature.
