Asked by qp

A student uses the value 0.0821 L• atm/mol • K for the gas constant in the ideal gas law. What are the most appropriate units for pressure, volume, and temperature in this case?
P has the units of atm, V has units of milliliters, and T has the units of kelvin.
P has the units of mmHg, V has units of liters, and T has the units of degrees Celsius.
P has the units of atm, V has the units of liters, and T has units of kelvin.
P has units of liters, V has units of liters, and T has units of degrees Celsius.

P has the units of atm, V has the units of liters, and T has units of kelvin.

Reason: R = 0.0821 L·atm·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ implies pressure must be in atm, volume in L, and temperature in K (absolute), not °C.
