Ideal Gas Law Calculator

Solve the ideal gas law for temperature using liters and atmospheres.

Uses R = 0.082057 L·atm·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ and solves PV = nRT for temperature.

Temperature

How it works

The ideal-gas model is most accurate at relatively low pressure and high temperature, away from condensation.

T = PV ÷ nR, where R = 0.082057 L·atm·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹

Worked example

At 1 atm, 22.414 L, and 1 mol, the result is about 273.15 K.

Frequently asked questions

What happens with invalid or incomplete inputs?

The result remains blank until the required inputs form a finite, meaningful calculation. Zero denominators and physically impossible negative quantities are not calculated.

Can I use decimal values?

Yes. The tool accepts decimals and keeps full precision for the calculation while rounding the displayed result for readability.
