Answer:

pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

The different values of R are as follows:

R = 0.0821 liter•atm/mol•K.

R = 62.3637 L•Torr/mol•K or L•mmHg/mol•K.

Here the different units of pressure are atm, Torr and mmHg.

The unit of volume, temperature and moles are Liter (L), Kelvin (K) and mol respectively.

When different values of Pressure are used and expressed in different units that cause a change in the value of R.
