"""
The ideal gas law, also called the general gas equation, is the
equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas. It is a good approximation
of the behavior of many gases under many conditions, although it has
several limitations. It was first stated by Benoît Paul Émile Clapeyron
in 1834 as a combination of the empirical Boyle's law, Charles's law,
Avogadro's law, and Gay-Lussac's law.[1] The ideal gas law is often written
in an empirical form:
------------
| PV = nRT |
------------
P = Pressure (Pa)
V = Volume (m^3)
n = Amount of substance (mol)
R = Universal gas constant
T = Absolute temperature (Kelvin)

(Description adapted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law )
