Key Formulas

Ideal Gas Law

$PV = nRT$

Pressure × Volume = moles × gas constant × temperature.

Molarity

$M = \frac{n}{V}$

Moles of solute per liter of solution.

pH

$pH = -\log_{10}[H^+]$

Measure of acidity.

Variables

Symbol	Description	Unit
$P$	Pressure	Pa
$V$	Volume	m³
$n$	Moles	mol
$R$	Gas constant	8.314 J/(mol·K)

Scientific and Engineering Usage

The Greek alphabet is derived from the Phoenician alphabet and has been used to write the Greek language since the 8th century BC. For web development, Greek letters can be represented in HTML documents using:

Entity names (e.g., Α)
Decimal numeric codes (e.g., Α)
Hexadecimal codes (e.g., Α)

Modern browsers render these codes natively. The legacy method of formatting a normal character with the "Symbol" font is less reliable and not recommended for contemporary web standards.
