In SI units J K-1 mol-1 (Joules/ Kelvin mol or Joules per kelvin per mol)
in some older chemistry text books they quote L atm K-1 mol-1 (liter atmospheres per degree kelvin per mol)
(see wikipedia "Gas constant" for a list of the dimensions in other systems of units)

of course. that's why it's called the universal gas constant.
The Universal gas constant is R is independent of the gas taken.. While the Characteristic gas constant depends on the mol. mass of the gas.... The Characteristic gas constant of a gas or a mixture of gases is given by the molar gas constant, divided by the molar mass (M) of the gas/mixture. R(Characteristic) = {R}/{M} Well,this is just the basic...u can relate them both to the Boltzmann constant.. Here are some of the standard values for both: Values of R Units 8.314 472(15) J K−1 mol−1 0.082057 46(14) L atm K−1 mol−1 RChar for dry air Units 287.058 J kg−1 K−1 ok,i guess this is it!Hope this clears it...
The value of the universal gas constant, denoted as R, is determined based on experimental measurements and is considered a fundamental physical constant in the field of thermodynamics. Its value is approximately 8.31 J/mol·K.
The general gas equation, PV = nRT, is used in the proof of the specific heat capacities relationship (Cp - Cv = R) because it helps relate the pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas to its moles and universal gas constant, allowing for the derivation of Cp and Cv in terms of these properties. This relationship is then utilized to show that the difference between the specific heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume is equal to the universal gas constant.
In SI units, the gas constant has a value of approximately 8.314 J / (mol x kelvin).
