Question

The value of the universal gas constant $R$ depends on ___.

Answer 1

Universal gas constant ($R$):

1. The gas constant is given by combining Avogadro's law, Boyle's law and Charle's law.

Formula for universal gas constant

1. $R=\frac{PV}{T}$, where $P$ is pressure, $V$is volume and $T$ is temperature.
2. As, we can see that the gas constant is directly proportional to pressure and volume and inversely proportional to temperature, so it depends on units of pressure, volume and temperature.
3. Thus, the value of the universal gas constant $R$ depends on units of pressure, volume and temperature.
