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).
