- Zeroth, First, Second and Third principles of thermodynamics:
Zeroth Law-defines temperature: If a system A is in thermal equilibrium with both systems B and C, then systems B and C are also in thermal equilibrium with each other; that is, if A is at the same temperature as both B and C, then B and C have to be at the same temperature, in thermal equilibrium with each other. First Law: The change in a system's internal energy is equal to the difference between heat added to the system from
its surroundings and work done by the system on its surroundings; Second Law: In any process occurring in a closed system the entropy can only increase; Third Law: the entropy of any pure crystalline system tends to zero in the limit of temperature approaching zero absolute (i.e., in deg Kelvin); also Nernst's law or Nernst heat theorem.
- Avogadro's law: the number of molecules or atoms in a specific volume of gas is a universal constant, independent of their size or the molecular mass of the gas; a mol of gas contains always Avogadro's number,
 , of molecules of the gas;
 .
- Clausius–Clapeyron equation
- Van't Hoff equation
- Henry's law: At constant temperature, the amount of a given gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.
- Dalton's law (Dalton's law of partial pressures): The total pressure exerted by a gaseous mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each individual component in a gas mixture.
