Also, we do not have to memorize this constant, as it is on the constants/equations sheet Dr. Lavelle made for us

The Boltzmann constant, k, is on our equation sheet! it is equal to 1.38x10^-23 J/K. Be careful not to confuse it with K, the equilibrium constant for a reaction.

k (lower case) is taken as 1.38x10^-23 J/K and can be found in the top right corner of the constants sheet

It's the Boltzmann constant, and it's about 1.380649×10−23 J/K.

Just to clear any confusion, it's a lowercase k and it is equal to 1.38 x 10^-23 J/K (<-this K is for Kelvins)

K stands for the Boltzmann constant which is 1.380649×10^−23 J/K. You can find it on the equations worksheet :)

Capital K is the Boltzmann constant and it is roughly 1.38x10^-23 J/K. However, it is on the equation sheet so I believe we are not expected to memorize it.
