Entropy can be defined as this constant multiplied by the natural logarithm of the number of microstates consistent with the given macrostate.
This constant is used in simple gas thermodynamics to find the pressure of a gas, by dividing volume by the product of the number of molecules of gas, the temperature, and it. The average energy per degree of freedom equals one-half the product of this constant with the temperature of a substance. Entropy can be defined as this constant multiplied by the natural logarithm of the number of microstates consistent with the given macrostate. Identify this constant utilized in thermodynamics, commonly denoted k-sub-B and named after an Austrian physicist crucial in developing the field of statistical thermodynamics.
