KbNa
During my PLF I was taught that in regards to the equation S=kblnW^na that KbxNA(moles) gets you the gas constant. Can anyone explain how and why Boltzmann constant and Avogadros number gets the gas constant.

Re: KbNa
The Boltzmann constants is in terms of per particle. Thus to get to the Boltzmann constants' units of J/K, you would just have to divide the gas constant (8.315 J/(mol*K)) by avagadro's number to get rid of the moles and get it into the per particle terms.

Re: KbNa
Does this mean that the Boltzmann constant is only used for gases? If so, does this translate to the Boltzman equation only being used for gas and why?

Re: KbNa
The Boltzmann constant is only used for gases because it relates the average KE of particles in a gas with the gas's temperature.
