The equation of state for $\mathrm{n}$ moles of an ideal gas is $\mathrm{PV}=\mathrm{nRT}$, where $\mathrm{R}$ is a constant. The SI unit for $\mathrm{R}$ is

  • A
    $\mathrm{JK}^{-1}$ per molecule
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{J} \mathrm{Kg}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{~g}^{-1}$

Solution

$\mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
