The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is a good approximation of the behavior of many gases under many conditions, although it has several limitations.
- It was first stated by Benoît Paul Émile Clapeyron and independently of him, Dmitry Mendeleev in 1834 as a combination of the empirical Boyle's law, Charles's law, Avogadro's law, and Gay-Lussac's law.
- The ideal gas law is often written in an empirical form: p V = n R T where p, V, and T are respectively the pressure, volume, and temperature, n is the amount of substance, and R is the ideal gas constant.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Ideal gas law article was read about 240,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 55: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
