Relationship With The Boltzmann Constant
The Boltzmann constant kB (often abbreviated k) may be used in place of the gas constant by working in pure particle count, N, rather than amount of substance, n, since
where NA is the Avogadro constant. For example, the ideal gas law in terms of Boltzmann's constant is
where N is the number of particles (atoms or molecules).

Famous quotes containing the words relationship and/or constant:
“We think of religion as the symbolic expression of our highest moral ideals; we think of magic as a crude aggregate of superstitions. Religious belief seems to become mere superstitious credulity if we admit any relationship with magic. On the other hand our anthropological and ethnographical material makes it extremely difficult to separate the two fields.”
—Ernst Cassirer (1874–1945)
“I am constant as the northern star,
Of whose true-fixed and resting quality
There is no fellow in the firmament.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
