How are the volume,temperature and pressure of gas related?

For an ideal gas, which is one where the molecules of the
gas are considered to have a negligible size, move randomly and there is no interaction
between the gas molecules or within the gas molecules, the ideal gas law provides a
relation between the volume, temperature, and pressure of the
gas.


This is given by P*V = n*R*T, where P is the pressure
of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, n is the number of moles of the gas, R is a
constant known as the gas constant and T is the temperature in
Kelvin.


Ideal gases do not change state irrespective of the
temperature and pressure applied. Under normal conditions that most experiments are
conducted at, the ideal gas law gives results that are a very close approximation to the
actual behavior of gases.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
