The correct Answer is:
To determine what the unit \( J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1} \) represents, we will analyze each of the options provided in the question. ### Step 1: Understand the units involved The unit \( J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1} \) can be broken down as follows: - \( J \) (joules) is a unit of energy. - \( kg^{-1} \) indicates that the energy is being divided by mass (in kilograms). - \( K^{-1} \) indicates that the energy is being divided by temperature (in kelvins). ### Step 2: Analyze the options 1. **Boltzmann constant**: The Boltzmann constant relates the average kinetic energy of particles in a gas to the temperature of the gas. Its unit is \( J \, K^{-1} \), which does not match our unit \( J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1} \). 2. **Planck's constant**: Planck's constant relates the energy of a photon to its frequency. Its unit is \( J \, s \) (joules times seconds), which also does not match our unit. 3. **Gas constant**: The gas constant \( R \) is defined as the amount of energy per temperature increment per unit mass. Its unit is indeed \( J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1} \), which matches our unit. 4. **All of the above**: Since only the gas constant matches the unit \( J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1} \), this option is incorrect. ### Conclusion The unit \( J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1} \) corresponds to the gas constant. ### Final Answer The unit \( J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1} \) is the unit of the gas constant. ---
