Key Formulas

Ideal Gas Law

$PV = nRT$

Pressure × Volume = moles × gas constant × temperature.

$P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2$

At constant temperature.

Charles's Law

$\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}$

At constant pressure.

Example Usage: To convert a volume of liquid methane to an equivalent volume of gas at standard conditions, multiply the liquid volume by the factor in the "m³ gas" row and "From m³ liquid" column.

For example, converting 10 m³ of methane liquid to gas: $q_{\text{gas}} = 593 \times (10 \text{ m}^3_{\text{liquid}}) = 5930 \text{ m}^3_{\text{gas}}$
