Ideal Gas Pressure Calculator

Estimate pressure using the ideal gas law.

Use more precise models for high pressures or low temperatures.

Examples

  • 1 mol at 300K in 24L ⇒ 1.03 atm
  • 2 mol at 350K in 30L ⇒ 1.91 atm

FAQ

What constant is used?

R = 0.082057 L·atm/(mol·K).

Does it work for real gases?

It is an approximation for ideal behavior.

Additional Information

  • See how pascals, kilopascals, and megapascals fit into ISO guidance in our [The Pascal (Pa): SI Unit of Pressure explainer](/units-and-measures/the-pascal-si-unit-of-pressure/).

Link gas law work to the mole definition

Reference the mole base unit guide to document how each n value ties back to the Avogadro constant and ISO 80000-9 terminology before sharing simulations or lab notes.

Keep molar masses consistent by pairing pressure calculations with the dalton (Da) explainer so that Penning-trap data, mass spectrometry references, and bulk material specs share the same atomic mass scale.
