The universal gas constant (also called molar gas constant ) `R` is equivalent to

Options

A. work done per mole
B. work done per degree
C. work done per degree
D. work done

Answer

C

Explanation

According to the ideal gas equation,
`R = (pV)/(nT) = (("Force" //"Area")("Length")^(3))/(nT) = (("Force")/(("Length")^(2)) xx ("Length")^(3))/(nT)`
` = ("Force" xx" length")/(nT) = ("Work")/(nT)`
Therefore `R` is equivalent to work done per Kelvin per mole.
