Re: gas constant
If you have L.atm and want to get to joules, you wouldn't use a gas constant, but you would multiply by 101.325 J.L^-1.atm^-1 to get the L.atm to cancel out with only J left

Re: gas constant
If you have a value with units L atm, use the gas constant R = 8.206 x 10^-2 L atm / mol K. You can also convert Latm to joules by using the conversion 101.325 joules per L atm. This allows you to use the other gas constant, R = 8.314 joules / mol K.
