STP on these slides is 1 atm and this temperature.

0 °C

100

Boyle’s law holds this quantity constant.

Temperature

100

Gay-Lussac’s pressure–temperature law holds this quantity constant.

Volume

100

The ideal gas law relates pressure, volume, temperature, and this.

Moles (n)

200

mmHg comes from this instrument of Torricelli’s.

The barometer

200

1 atm equals this many mmHg.

760

200

At constant temperature, volume and pressure are related in this way.

Inversely proportional

200

At constant volume, pressure and temperature are related in this way.

Directly proportional

200

This variable stands for the proportionality constant, used to make the units of P, V, n, and T fit.

R

300

A torr is another name for this unit.

mmHg

300

This is the pressure due to one gas in a mixture.

Partial pressure

300

Charles’s law holds this quantity constant.

Pressure

300

Gay-Lussac’s law of combining gases says gas volumes react in these ratios, at constant T and P.
