17.) Boyles Law.
When  the volume of a gas is decreased (for example by a piston), the pressure increases in the same ratio,  if the temperature does not change. Compressing the volume to a half of its size doubles the pressure. 
P... x V... = P... x V...

also well known as:
When a vacuum is produced and the pressure is decreased by a large amount, the gases expand to very large volumes. This occurs also with contamination on the inner walls of the vacuum chamber, which evaporates  (for example fingerprints).

with equal numbers of molecules (temperature kept constant) 
18.) Charles` Law.
The volume of a gas changes with temperature if the pressure is kept constant.  When the gas becomes colder, the volume decreases. As it becomes warmer, the gas expands.

T in Kelvin (see scale of absolute temperature below).
When the temperature doubles, the volume increases similarily by the factor of 2, provided that the pressure stays constant.

With a closer look at Charles` law, one can find a more detailed relationship between temperature and volume, known as the law of Gay-Lussac:
19.) The Law of Gay-Lussac:
When the temperature of a gas changes  from 0...C by one degree, the volume  changes by  1/273 of the original value:

From this law, Lord Kelvin founded the absolute scale for the temperature, in which 0 Kelvin = absolute zero = 273.15 degrees Celsius.

Boyles Law
describes the relationship between volume and pressure, where temperature and mass (number of particles) must stay constant.
Charles` Law
describes the relationship between volume and temperature, where pressure and mass stay constant.
Avogadro´s Law
describes the relationship between volume and mass, where temperature and pressure stay constant.
The above three law´s combine to give the universal gas law:
20.) The Universal Gas Law.
p x V = ... x R x T
Ny2
...  ( Greek Ny)  is the symbol for the quantity in mol or kmol.

The universal gas law is not restricted like Charles´, Boyle´s and Avogadro´s laws.
The temperatures in Charles law and in the universal gas law are inserted as absolute temperatures in Kelvin.

For calculations,  the following, equivalent values are often used:
R =
83.14 mbar x l x mol..x K..
R =
 8.314 x 10..mbar x l x kmol...x K..
R =

22.) The Individual Gas Constant.
If the universal gas constant is divided by the relative mass number (M) of the  molecule of the gas in question, the result is the individual gas constant Ri  for this gas.

If many calculations are made for the same gas, it is often easier to use the individual gas constant Ri
