PV=nRT

It works in relative form for all gases not just ideal ones. It gets way off at phase transitions and where molecules intereact significantly, but the proportional and inverse relationships hold true. The problem in the natural world is that V is often not constrained by a well defined physical volume. Dynamic as well as static equations are needed.
