  Gas constant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gas constant (also known as the universal or ideal gas constant, usually denoted by symbol R) is a physical constant used in equations of state to relate various groups of state functions to one another.
The gas constant occurs in the simplest equation of state, the ideal gas equation, as follows:
The gas constant is conversion factor between gas units.

Gas can be compressed by pressures greater than the pressure the gas on its container.
This formula is the "Ideal Gas Law Formula." The formula is pretty accurate for all gases as we assume that the gas molecules are point masses and the collisions of the molecules are totally elastic.
The Universal Gas Constant, R, can be expressed in several ways, depending upon the units of P, V, and T. One common R is 0.0821 liter - atmospheres per mol - degree.
