The equation you've provided, **PV = nRT**, is known as the **Ideal Gas Law**, which describes the relationship between the pressure, volume, and temperature of an ideal gas. Here’s what each symbol stands for:

- **P** = Pressure of the gas (usually in atmospheres, Pascals, or mmHg)
- **V** = Volume of the gas (typically in liters)
- **n** = Number of moles of gas
- **R** = Universal gas constant (value depends on the units of pressure and volume, commonly 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)
- **T** = Temperature of the gas (in Kelvin)

### Rearranging the formula
If you need to solve for any of these variables, you can rearrange the equation accordingly. For example:
- Solving for **P**: \( P = \frac{nRT}{V} \)
