When should we use R (gas constant) value as 8.31. . and as 0.0821? I'm confused
can you please help sir / mam
R (the gas constant) :
According to the equation PV=nRT,
when the temperature is in kelvin, pressure is in pascals and volume is in metre cube, then use gas constant,
R = 8.314 m3.Pa.K−1mol−1
when pressure is given in atmosphere, volume in litres and temp is in kelvin, then use gas constant,
R =0.0821L.atm.mol−1K−1
