The combined gas law is a formula about ideal gases. It comes from putting together three different laws about the pressure, volume, and temperature of the gas. They explain what happens to two of the values of that gas while the third stays the same. The three laws are: The combined gas law shows how the three variables are related to each other. It says that: The formula of the combined gas law is: formula_1 where: formula_2 is the pressure formula_3 is the volume formula_4 is the temperature measured in kelvin formula_5 is a constant (with units of energy divided by temperature). To compare the same gas with two of these cases, the law can be written as: formula_6 By adding Avogadro's law to the combined gas law, we get what is called the ideal gas law. Derivation from the gas laws. Boyle's Law states that the pressure-volume product is constant: formula_7 Charles's Law shows that the volume is proportional to the absolute temperature: formula_8 Gay-Lussac's Law says that the pressure is proportional to the absolute temperature: formula_9 where "P" is the pressure, "V" the volume and "T" the absolute temperature of an ideal gas. By combining (1) and either of (2) or (3), we can gain a new equation with "P", "V" and "T". If we divide equation (1) by temperature and multiply equation (2) by pressure we will get: formula_10 formula_11. As the left-hand side of both equations is the same, we arrive at formula_12, which means that formula_13. Substituting in Avogadro's Law yields the ideal gas equation. Applications. The combined gas law can be used to explain the mechanics where pressure, temperature, and volume are affected. For example: air conditioners, refrigerators and the formation of clouds and also use in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.

Big data is a term used for certain database systems. It is used for a number of technologies which help to organize, gather and analyse data.  At least some of the following characteristics apply: Use. Big data is used to analyse different subjects. Through the analysis, new information can be gained. Bigger amounts of data make it easier to find reliable information. It is used in many different areas, such as government, health care, insurance, media, advertisement and information technology. Origin. The data is gathered among other things through: Critique. Big data has been criticised for different reasons. One prominent criticism is the increasing surveillance to gather data, which takes place in many new forms. Edward Snowden has revealed how the American National Security Agency (NSA) uses digital technology to spy on people around the world. Another prominent criticisms is data privacy, which is about the risk of sensitive personal data leaking because it is not protected well enough. A more fundamental critique of big data is just because it is bigger, it is not automatically better. The quality of the data still has to be controlled. It also says that data analysis can only ask "what" is happening, but not "why" it is happening.
