# ideal gas constant

Why ‘R ‘is the universal gas constant? What does it mean? » There are two constants that engineers use in some form almost every day in calculations [1] Gas constant and [2] Universal constant. While a gas constant is specific for gas the universal gas constant applies to all gases. Linkedin.com

Deriving pV=NkT from N=Na*n and k=R/Na » I've attempted to use N=Na*n -where N is that total number of particles of a gas, Na is the Avogadro constant and n is moles. And then attempted to use k=R/Na -where k is the Boltzmann constant and R is the molar gas constant. I got as far as N/n=R/k but then not sure how to get from this to… Physicsforums.com

What is gas constant R in PV =n RT: What is R [specific vs R [universal]? » R fundamentally refers to kinetic energy in gas, whether R [specific] or R [universal]. The problem arises when you wonder why there are two gas constants. Linkedin.com
