The equation of state for n moles of an ideal gas is `PV=nRT`, where R is a constant. The SI unit for R is

A

`JK^(-1)` per molecule

B

`JK^(-1)mol^(-1)`

C

`Jkg^(-1)K^(-1)`

D

`JK^(-1)g^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
According to ideal gas equation, `PV=nRT`
implies `R=(PV)/(nT)=("Pressure"xx"volume")/("no. of moles"xx"temperature")`
`=(Pam^(3))/(molK)=(Nm^(-2)m^(3))/(molK)=(Nm)/(molK)=Jmol^(-1)K^(-1)`
The S.I. unit of R is J `mol^(-1)K^(-1)`.
