Key Stage 5
Meaning
The Boltzmann constant is the molar gas constant divided by the Avogadro constant.
About the Boltzmann Constant
Denoted as π or π/subB π=1.38Γ10β23 k=1.38Γ10β23 J/K. Relates the average kinetic energy of particles in a gas with the temperature. Fundamental in the statistical description of physical systems.
Examples
Used in the ideal gas law: π π = π π π PV=NkT. Important in the study of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.
