Why is the ideal gas constant the letter R?
If I find out by midnight I get extra credit. So, if anyone knows why the ideal gas constant is the letter R please tell me why and where you found your information.
R stands for relationship

It could also stand for ratio

Since variables are one letter,
Ideal Gas Law: Where did R come from?
You can find the number for R in any textbook, but where did it come from in the first place? In this video, we show how to derive the universal ...
Inspector Shortage in Colorado Oil Fields Sparks Concerns
Each day, Jim Precup of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission logs about 400 miles criss-crossing the oil and gas fields of northeast Colorado. now home to one of the highest concentrations of oil and gas wells in the country. “It’s not an easy job, it doesn’t suit everyone,” Precup said one early morning after making a quick coffee run at the Johnson’s Corner truck stop off Interstate 25 in northern Colorado. Drill rigs, storage tanks, hauler trucks seem to be everywhere once you’re east of I-25 in the county. Drilling operations are sandwiched between homes, schools and stores and in the middle of farm fields. From there, it was east into booming Weld County, where he spends most of his days. Precup has to supervise his agency’s inspectors, but because there are so many wells, he’s also in charge of inspecting 12,000 himself.More Ariz. bicyclists adding extra oomph to bikes with electric, gas motors
But constant biking was tiring his legs before big weekend cycling races, so he decided a little battery power once a week would help. Bike shops and big-box stores also sell powered bikes, parts or installation kits. Brian Folts, 25, built his electric bike, or e-bike, in January, saving money with a $270 kit, plus $100 shipping from China. In this case, the metal being an add-on gas or electric motor that allows their bikes to reach legal speeds of up to 20 mph on city streets. Bicyclists, bike-shop owners, city officials and industry analysts describe an almost underground industry that thrives on word of mouth and Internet searches. The Ahwatukee Foothills software engineer already was biking to his job on Kyrene Road. Industry experts say it's a national trend that is especially evident in Arizona , where riders don't need a license, registration or insurance. More and more Arizona bicyclists are putting the metal to the pedal.AP Chemistry – Gases
If you know the ideal gas law, you do not need to know any other gas laws, for it is a combination of all the other laws. If, for example, the pressure is decreased in a constant-volume container, you can use this form to easily predict that the temperature must decrease. The ideal gas law is the most useful law, and it should be memorized. To maintain a constant value of R, an change in the numerator must result in a proportional chnage in the denominator, and vice versa. There are three ways of writing the ideal gas law, but all of them are simply algebraic rearrangements of each other. According to this theory, an ideal gas is composed of continually moving molecules of negligible volume. If you know any three of the four state variables of a gas, the unknown can be found with this law....
