Summary

The combination of all the state variables describing a sample of an ideal gas into a single expression, the ideal gas equation, or ideal gas law, is an example of what is generally referred to as an equation of state. We consider how the ideal gas law follows from a combination of the pairwise state variable relationships, the simple gas laws.
