Well, clearly we use "degrees Kelvin"degrees Kelvin...i.e. units of "absolute temperature...."absolute temperature....

Explanation:

...beyond that we use convenient units of pressure and volume. For chemists, these are typically mm*HgmmHg, where 1*atm-=760*mm*Hg1atm760mmHg...and "litres"litres...1*L-=1000*cm^3-=10^-3*m^31L1000cm3103m3....

(P_1V_1)/T_1=(P_2V_2)/T_2P1V1T1=P2V2T2...of course we have to use the units consistently....
