ideal gas law
Also known as general gas equation, PV=nRT, PV = nRT, ideal gas equation, Mendeleev-Klapeyton equation
equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas
AI overview
I cannot write the overview based on the context provided, as it only defines what the ideal gas law is (an equation of state for a hypothetical ideal gas) but contains no information about why it matters or what it does. I would need additional context explaining its significance and applications to provide an accurate 2-sentence overview.

Isotherms of a ideal gas for different temperatures. The curved lines are rectangular hyperbolae of the form y = a/x. They represent the relationship between pressure (on the vertical axis) and volume (on the horizontal axis) for an ideal gas at different temperatures: lines that are farther away from the origin (that is, lines that are nearer to the top right-hand corner of the diagram) correspond to higher temperatures.
