- Boyle's Law
- At constant temperature, pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional: PV = constant
- Charles's Law
- At constant pressure, volume and absolute temperature of a gas are directly proportional: V/T = constant
- Gay-Lussac's Law
- At constant volume, pressure and absolute temperature of a gas are directly proportional: P/T = constant
- Combined Gas Law
- PV/T = constant for a fixed amount of gas, combines Boyle's and Charles's Laws
- Ideal Gas Law
- PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles, R is the gas constant, T is absolute temperature
- Gas constant R value
- 0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K) or 8.314 J/(mol·K), depending on units
- Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
- The total pressure of a gas mixture equals the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas: P(total) = P1 + P2 + P3...
- Graham's Law of Effusion
- The rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass: rate1/rate2 = sqrt(M2/M1)
- Molarity
- Moles of solute per liter of solution, M = n/V, the most common concentration unit in AP Chemistry
- Molality
- Moles of solute per kilogram of solvent, m = n/kg solvent, does not change with temperature
- Normality
- Equivalents of solute per liter of solution, N = eq/V, often used for acids and bases
- Parts per million (ppm)
- Mass of solute per million parts of solution, ppm = (mass solute / mass solution) × 10^6, used for dilute solutions
- Dilution equation
- M1V1 = M2V2, where subscripts 1 and 2 represent initial and final states
- Vapor pressure lowering
- The vapor pressure of a solution is lower than pure solvent due to the presence of nonvolatile solute particles
- Raoult's Law
- P(solution) = X(solvent) × P°(solvent), where X is mole fraction and P° is pure solvent vapor pressure
