In physics, the gas constant is defined as the product of pressure and volume. It is denoted by R and expressed as energy per temperature increase per mole. The value of gas constant at atm is constant. But the value of gas constant can be expressed using various units. It is also known as ideal gas constant or universal gas constant or molar constant.

Gas Constant Formula
The above values are calculated using the ideal gas equation as follows:
PV = nRT
Where,
- P is the pressure of the ideal gas.
- V is the volume of the ideal gas.
- T is the temperature.
- n is the number of the ideal gas
Hope you have learnt the value of R at atm, along with the list of the values of R in various other units.
