The physical significance of R is work per degree per mole.
A kilojoule per mole is a way of measuring the amount of heat needed for something.
Where, R is a universal gas constant per mole.
Thus, the heat capacity per mole of many solids is 3R.
It is also 1.00 gram per mole, almost by definition.
These particles have a mass of 1 gram per mole (to a few significant figures).
It is normally expressed as the number of grams per mole.
The term mol -1 thus means per mole of this specified equation.
For example, refers to "per mole of formed from its elements in their standard states".
M is the molar mass of the substance (in grams per mole).
