Question

In the equation of state of an ideal gas $PV=nRT$, the value of universal gas constant would depend only on:

• A. the nature of the gas
• B. the pressure of the gas
• C. the units of the measurement
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

the units of the measurement

In the equation of state of an ideal gas $PV=nRT$, the universal gas constant depends only on the units of the measurement.

$R=8.314Jmo{l}^{-1}{K}^{-1}$

$=0.082L-atmmo{l}^{-1}{K}^{-1}$

$=1.987Cal-mo{l}^{-1}{K}^{-1}$

Hence option C is correct.
