Value Of R In Gas Constant: In physics, the gas constant is defined as the product of pressure and volume. It is denoted by R and can be expressed as energy per temperature per increase per mole. 

Value Of R in AT

  • The value of gas constant at atm is constant. However, it can be expressed using various units. 
  • It is also known by the name of the ideal gas constant, universal gas constant or molar constant.

Gas Constant Formula

The formula for gas constant is: 

PV = nRT

R= PV/nT

Here, p is the pressure of the ideal gas

V is the volume of an ideal gas

T is the temperature 

N is the number of the ideal gas

In this article, students have learned all the important concepts regarding the gas constant.

Applications Of Gas Constant

Calculating Gas Properties

  • Press, Volume, Temperature (PVT) Relationships: Knowing R allows us to calculate any of the four variables in an ideal gas system if other three things are known to us. 
  • It is important in various applications like designing gas cylinders and understanding weather patterns. 
  • The R constant can also be used to determine the density of an ideal gas at a specific temperature lije designing hot air balloons.
