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).

    If only he would not pity us so much,
    Weaken our fate, relieve us of woe both great

    A too, too human god, self-pity’s kin
    And uncourageous genesis . . .
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
