Question

Given d = 3.2 g/L, T = 0°C + 273 = 273 K, P = 1 atm, R = 0.0821 L atm/mol K, what is the value of R?

1) 0.0821 L atm/mol K
2) 0.0821 atm/mol K
3) 0.0821 L/mol K
4) 0.0821 L atm/mol

Answer 1

The value of the gas constant R is 0.0821 L atm/mol K.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of R, the gas constant, depends on the units used for pressure, volume, and temperature. However, in this question, the value of R is given as 0.0821 L atm/mol K. This means that R has units of liters multiplied by atmospheres, divided by moles multiplied by kelvin.
