How do u know the units for ideal gas equation?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

The units are dependent on what R value you choose.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought there was only one R value: 8.31 something

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

No, R= 0.082058 L atm / (mol K) or 62.364 L Torr /(mol K) or 8.3145 m^3 Pa/(mol K). The last one can also be written as J/(mol K).
