Universal Gas Constant

Written by Jerry Ratzlaff on 16 January 2016. Posted in Constants

Universal gas constant, abbreviated as R, also called gas constant, ideal gas constant, and molar gas constant. When using these values in the Ideal Gas Law (or when making any calculation) make sure the units match up.)
