What is universal molar gas constant?

Answer 1

The gas constant (also known as the molar, universal, or ideal gas constant, normally indicated by the symbol R) is a physical constant which is used in many of the fundamental equations in the physical sciences, such as the ideal gas law and the Nernst equation. It is equivalent to the Boltzmann constant, but expressed in units of energy (i.e. the pressure-volume product) per kelvin per mole (rather than energy per kelvin per particle). The gas constant uses the same units as specific entropy.

Its value is: : R = 8.314472(15) J · K-1 · mol-1The two digits in parentheses are the uncertainty (standard deviation) in the last two digits of the value. The gas constant occurs in the simplest equation of state, the ideal gas law, as follows: : PV = nRT = nRT / V = RT / Vm

where: : P: is the absolute pressure : T: is absolute temperature : V: is the volume the gas occupies : n: is the amount of gas (the number of gas molecules, usually in moles) : Vm: is the molar volume
