Re: R value in equation
You have to use the R value with the corresponding units to the other variables you are using. Just make sure the right units are canceling out.

Re: R value in equation
I think generally the R we use more often will contain the units L.atm/mol.K

Re: R value in equation
Usually when solving for something involving joules/work/energy, you would use 8.314 J/mol•K. If it involves pressure (or if you need to use PV=nRT), you would use the other R constants with pressure units.
