A planet's moon has a mass of 2.4358x10^23 k, a radius of 6,175 km, and an atmosphere made of H2 at a constant temperature of 188 degrees Celsius. What is the atmosphere's R constant?
Basically, R is a universal gas constant which is independent of its atmosphere. So the value of atmosphere's R constant doesn't depend on the gas which fills the atmosphere. The value of R=8.314 m^3*Pa/mol-K*
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
And if we want to know the atmospheric pressure,
We know that P= RT
= mass/ volume
= 2.4358*10^23/(4/3)*(22/7)*(6175000)^3
= 246.9689 kg/m^3
Temperature T = 461 K
So P= (246.9689)*(8.314)*(461) = 937199.048861 Pa = 9.2792 atm
