Identify the units of pressure given in the problem, which is atmospheres (atm).
Recall that the gas constant R has different numerical values depending on the units used for pressure, volume, and energy.
Match the units of R to the units of pressure given. Since pressure is in atm, the value of R must include atm in its units.
Among the common values of R, the one with units L·atm·mol^{-1}·K^{-1} is appropriate when pressure is in atmospheres.
Therefore, the correct value of R to use when pressure is in atm is 0.0821 L·atm·mol^{-1}·K^{-1}.
