You guessed it the combined gas law is a combination of Boyles and Charles
The difference is that we have all three, pressure, temperature and volume in the
equation. You will be given five of six variables and have to determine the sixth

As with all the gas laws, temperature needs to be in degrees Kelvin. Pressures and
volumes just need to be in the same units as each other.
Example:
32 liters of a gas at 300 degrees kelvin and 200 kPa is compressed to 400 kPa and 15
liters, what is the new temperature?
-
Make sure pressures and volumes are in the same units, temperatures in
degrees Kelvin.

You will be given four of the five quantities and be asked to solve for the fifth.
Make sure your variables are in units of the gas constant
Substitute and solve.
Example
How many moles of an ideal gas are contained in 35600 milliliters at 250 deg C at 2.27
atm?
Convert temp to K 250 C + 273 = 523 K
Convert pressure to kPa
2.27 atm x 101.3 kPa = 230 kPa
1.0 atm
Convert volume to liters
35600 ml x 1 Liter =35.6 liters
1000 ml
PV = nRT
230 kPa x 35.6 L = n x 8.31 kPa L /(mol deg K) x (523 deg K)
n= 230 x 35.6 / (8.31 x 523) moles
n= 1.88 mol
