Constant

edit

I'm not sure whether or not it matters, but isn't 'k' generally used as a constant rather than 'r'? Just asking since the other gas law articles use 'k'. Hey jude, don't let me down 22:27, 1 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Generally, yes, the constant would be represented by k. However, this is a unique constant known as the ideal gas constant, which is important enough to recieve its own letter (r). 75.40.94.244 (talk) 15:26, 31 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Avogadro's Law

edit

I seem to remember combined Avogadro's Law with the other three gas laws to produce a slightly different combined gas law that incorporated the number of moles of gas - this way, if the mass of gas was not constant, the law would still hold true. (Something like: PV/nT = k, thus P1V1/n1T1 = P2V2/n2T2). Is this just me or is it commonly accepted? 75.40.94.244 (talk) 15:29, 31 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

You are thinking about the ideal gas law (PV=nRT), the combined gas law only focuses on the pressure, volume, and temperature of a given gas sample. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.130.175.19 (talk) 19:26, 1 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

derivations

edit

Can someone show the derivations of Charles', Bolton's and Lussac's Law into the Combined Gas Law? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pstanton (talkcontribs) 23:16, 11 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

equation

edit

isnt the equation

pV=nRT

where p stands for pressure in atm,V for volume in litres , n is the number of moles , T is temperature in kelvin and R is a constant 0.0821 litre atm mole-1kelvin-1 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sidhu 2201 (talkcontribs) 15:15, 8 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Also, this is not a law. it's simply an equation. Why is the Title of the article "Ideal Gas Law"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.182.111.139 (talk) 05:43, 8 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

derivations unclear

edit

Thanks for including the derivation, but the "physical derivation" confuses me. I'm even unsure what a physical derivation IS. Could you clarify, or provide links? I'm sure others will have similar issues. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.75.163.72 (talk) 23:30, 30 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Needs correcting

edit

There's a formatting error in equation (9) that needs correcting. --Spmoura (talk) 06:48, 24 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Seems okay at present. Jason Quinn (talk) 13:13, 14 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Merge to Ideal gas law

edit

The article was actually created by a mistake of two early Wikipedians. The thing described under "combined gas law" is definitely the same as the ideal gas law. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 05:15, 6 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

This is the correct combined gas law. Ideal gas law is PV = nRT — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.48.227.67 (talk) 02:59, 30 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

This is currently a proper article on a proper subject. Jason Quinn (talk) 13:10, 14 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Not done

edit

While I can see the possibility of relevance, i'm not entirely sure it should be included.

I don't think it's relevant enough to be included. Removed. Don't forget WP:Be bold. Jason Quinn (talk) 13:09, 14 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
