Solution

The correct option is B

0.082LatmK-1mol-1


The explanation for the correct option:

Option (b) 0.082LatmK-1mol-1

Gas constant:

  • The gas constant (R) is defined as the product of pressure and volume.
  • It is measured in terms of energy per temperature rise per mole. R in atm has a constant value.
  • However, the value of the gas constant can be stated in a variety of units.
  • R is also known as the ideal gas constant, the universal gas constant, and the molar constant.
  • The value of R at atm that is at standard atmospheric pressure is

R=8.3144598Jmol-1K-1

  • When pressure is expressed in the atmosphere and volume in litres, then the value of R at STP for one mole of gas is

R=1atm×22.414L1mole×273.15K=0.082LatmK-1mol-1

Hence, the correct option is (b) 0.082LatmK-1mol-1.
