Gas temperature from P, V, n calculator

This gas temperature from pressure volume calculator returns the absolute temperature T in kelvin from the gas pressure P in atmospheres, the volume V in litres, and the amount of substance n in moles using the ideal gas law rearrangement T equals P times V divided by n times R.

Starting from PV equals nRT, solving for temperature yields a direct path from measured or stated pressure, container volume, and mole count to kelvin without a molecular formula or density measurement. The same path appears in general chemistry homework that gives P, V, and n and asks for T, in lab prep that checks whether a filled flask sits near room temperature or ice-point conditions, and in process checks that convert online pressure and volume readings into an effective absolute temperature under ideal assumptions. Typical textbook checks include one atmosphere, about twenty-two point four one four litres, and one mole yielding roughly two hundred seventy-three kelvin with the default gas constant, and twice the pressure at fixed V and n doubling T. The engine uses only finite arithmetic with no network calls, no sampling, and no date-dependent shortcuts. Use it free in the browser for homework and lab prep, or call the API at $0.002 per successful request when you need identical temperature fixtures in CI, tutoring software, or teaching demos.

How to use it

Enter your values in the form above. The tool checks them before calculating and shows the result on the same page.

Check your inputs

Use the labels and units shown next to each field. If something is missing or outside the allowed range, the page points to the field to fix.

Use it again or automate it

Use the browser tool for individual checks and the API when you need the same capability in an automated workflow.

What you can do with it

Get an answer now

Enter one set of values and see the result without building a spreadsheet or script.

Compare scenarios

Change one value at a time and rerun the calculation to understand what affects the result.

Automate repeated work

Use the API when the same calculation needs to run inside your product or workflow.

For developers — API access

Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.

API endpoint

POSThttps://api.kit.forhosting.com/chem/gas-temperature-from-ptv

Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.

Call it from your stack

Example request

{
  "pressure": 1,
  "volume": 22.414,
  "moles": 1
}

Example response

{
  "task_id": "tsk_a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "type": "chem.gas_temperature_from_ptv",
  "status": "queued",
  "_links": {
    "result": "/tasks/tsk_…/result"
  }
}

The API is asynchronous: the call returns a task_id immediately and the result arrives by webhook. Polling is capped at 1 req/s per task.

Errors

HTTP	Code	Meaning
`401`	`unauthorized`	Missing or invalid API key.
`402`	`insufficient_balance`	Your balance doesn't cover the task price.
`404`	`unknown_type`	That task type doesn't exist.
`429`	`rate_limited`	Too many requests. Use the webhook instead of polling.
