When using Kelvin, R is equal to .0821. However, there are other R values for celcius and Fahrenheit that can be used, but that requires memorizing more numbers. .0821 however is scientific standard, so use kelvin or else you will calculate a different answer.<a href="http://www.besthomeorganizers.com/596"> Teslaman</a> It is important because you are using a constant, R.
