Ideal Gas Law By combining the gas laws, we can write a general equation. R is called the Gas Constant. The value of R depends on the units of P and V. We will use 8.314 and convert P to kPa and V to L. Use the ideal gas law when you have a gas at one condition, use the combined gas law when you have a gas whose condition is changing.

Molar Mass of a Gas One of the methods chemists use to determine the molar mass of an unknown substance is to heat a weighed sample until it becomes a gas, measure the temperature, pressure, and volume, and use the ideal gas law. Tro's Introductory Chemistry, Chapter 11
