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

Explanation:

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

#(P_1V_1)/T_1=(P_2V_2)/T_2#...of course we have to use the units consistently....
