In chemistry and physics, the molar gas constant R is a physical constant with the value:[1] 8.314 472 J mol−1K−1.
The constant R is equal to the Boltzmann constant times Avogadro's constant: R = kBNA.
The constant arises in equations of state, most notably in the ideal gas law
where p is the pressure, Vm the molar volume, and T the absolute temperature of the ideal gas.
