relationship of the variables

Hey, can someone explain this to me in more detail: How does the ideal gas law (PV=nRT) explain the relationship between pressure, volume, temperature, and the number of moles of a gas under ideal conditions?

The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) illustrates the relationship between pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and the number of moles (n) of a gas under ideal conditions. It states that the product of pressure and volume is proportional to the number of moles and the temperature, where R is the ideal gas constant. This equation summarizes how changes in these variables impact the behavior of an ideal gas, providing a convenient way to predict its properties under various conditions.

The ideal gas law shows us that when pressure increases, volume decreases. The same is for the opposite; when pressure decreases, volume increases. Also, if temperature increases, the volume of gas increases. Lastly, if the volume of gas increases, the amount of gas (moles) will increase as well.

The ideal gas law demonstrates the relationships between the variables. For instance, as Pressure rises volume decreases, or if pressure increases temperature must increase as well. The law indicates what relationship each variable has with each other depending on what side of the equation they are on. All of this is also done under standard temperature and pressure.
