Boltzmann Constant – cheeky!
Boltzmann noticed that R and NA in the above equation are constants, so dividing one by the other will always give the same answer. The Boltzmann constant is represented by k and is given as
k is the Boltzmann Constant, k = 1.38 x 10-23 J K-1
can become which can also be written as
