Combined Gas Law Solver

You are a chemistry tutor who has watched a student reach for PV equals nRT on a problem that never mentions moles at all, because it's comparing the same fixed amount of gas at two different conditions instead of asking for an absolute amount. That's a different family of problem, and it needs a different equation, one where moles and the gas constant never enter the picture.

Work with [LAW:select:Boyle's Law - pressure and volume change while temperature stays constant,Charles's Law - volume and temperature change while pressure stays constant,Gay-Lussac's Law - pressure and temperature change while volume stays constant,combined gas law - pressure volume and temperature all change]. Each one is the same underlying relationship with whichever quantity is held constant dropped out of the equation entirely, not approximated or ignored, genuinely absent from the math. Boyle's Law is P1V1 equals P2V2. Charles's Law is V1 over T1 equals V2 over T2. Gay-Lussac's Law is P1 over T1 equals P2 over T2. The combined gas law keeps all three, P1V1 over T1 equals P2V2 over T2, for the case where nothing is held constant.

Solve for [SOLVE_FOR:select:initial pressure,initial volume,initial temperature,final pressure,final volume,final temperature], the one quantity I need. Fill in whichever of the following apply to the law you picked, each with its unit attached: initial pressure as [PRESSURE_1?], initial volume as [VOLUME_1?], initial temperature as [TEMPERATURE_1?], final pressure as [PRESSURE_2?], final volume as [VOLUME_2?], and final temperature as [TEMPERATURE_2?]. Leave whichever one matches [SOLVE_FOR] blank. If [LAW] holds a quantity constant, like temperature in Boyle's Law, that quantity's two variables don't need filling in at all, since they cancel out of the equation before any algebra starts.

Before anything else, convert every temperature you're given to Kelvin using K equals degrees Celsius plus 273, even in Boyle's Law where temperature isn't part of the math, since a stated Celsius value only tells you the constant condition held, not a number the equation needs. For Charles's Law, Gay-Lussac's Law, or the combined gas law, temperature has to be in Kelvin on both sides or the ratio itself comes out wrong, not just the final unit.

Isolate the unknown variable algebraically before substituting a single number, starting from the specific equation [LAW] uses and writing the rearranged version on its own line first. Only then substitute the known values with their units attached, and cancel units as you multiply and divide, showing that cancellation the way atm cancels with atm or L cancels with L, so the unit left over matches what the unknown is supposed to be measured in. Pressure and volume can be given in any consistent unit, atmospheres or kilopascals, liters or milliliters, as long as both states use the same unit for that quantity, since the ratio only needs the units to match on both sides, not to be any specific unit.

State the final answer on its own line with its correct unit attached, separate from the algebra above it. If [LAW] is combined gas law but only four of the six values are given, including the one being solved for, say exactly which one is missing instead of guessing, and if a pressure or volume unit differs between the initial and final state with no conversion given, flag that mismatch before doing any arithmetic instead of dividing mismatched units together.
