The document discusses the ideal gas law, which relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of a gas. It describes how the ideal gas law was developed by combining Boyle's law, Charles's law, and Avogadro's law. The ideal gas law equation is PV=nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles of gas, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature in Kelvin. An example problem demonstrates how to use the ideal gas law to calculate the moles of gas produced in a chemical reaction.
