In the following equation, what does R stand for?
« on: April 04, 2008, 10:47:42 AM »
change in Go=-RTlnK

I know what G,T, and K stand for but I don't know what R is.

Eventhough ARGOS++'s is the most educative answer, I will give you this much:
 
R is the universal gas constant. In the units you will need it is R = 8.314472(15) J · K-1 · mol-1
