Law	Ideal Gas Equation	Combined Gas Law
equation	P V = n R T	P1 V1 = P2 V2 T1 T2
explanation	one gas at one set of conditions	one gas that is changing conditions
when to use it	when the problem gives 3 of these: P, V, n, T	more than one temperature, pressure, and/or volume in the problem
specific units req’d?	pressure = atm volume = liters quantity (n) = moles temperature = Kelvins	temperature = Kelvins pressure & volume can be any unit, but must be the same unit on both sides of the equation

Law	Boyle’s Law	Charles’ Law	Gay-Lussac’s Law
equation	P1 V1 = P2 V2	V1 = V2 T1 T2	P1 = P2 T1 T2
explanation	pressure & volume are inversely proportional; temperature is constant	volume & Kelvin temp of a gas are directly proportional; P is constant	pressure & Kelvin temp of a gas are directly proportional; V is constant
when to use it	given 2 difft pressures & 1 volume or given 2 difft volumes & 1 pressure	given 2 difft volumes & 1 temperature or given 2 difft temperatures & 1 volume	given 2 difft pressures & 1 temperature or given 2 difft temperatures & 1 pressure
specific units req’d?	any - but must be the same on both sides of equation	any unit for volume (same on both sides), Kelvin temperature	any unit for pressure (same on both sides), Kelvin temperature

Law	Dalton’s Law	Dalton’s Law	Graham’s Law
equation	Ptotal = Pgas1 + Pgas2 +...	Px = (moles gas X) . Ptotal (total moles)	rate A = √MM B rate B √MM A
explanation	the sum of the pressures of the individual gases in a mixture equals the total pressure exerted by the mixture	amount of a gas in mixture is proportionate to the amount of its partial pressure	rate of gas A compared to the rate of gas B is equal to the square root of the inverse of their molar masses
when to use it	mixture of gases; only pressures given	mixture of gases; moles & total pressure given	when any form of the word “effusion” or “diffusion” is in the problem
specific units req’d?	any - but all values must have same unit of pressure	any - but all values must have same unit of pressure	no
