Constante de Boltzmann

Definición

Una constante física fundamental con el valor exacto de 1,380649 × 10⁻²³ J/K, que relaciona la energía cinética térmica promedio de las partículas con la temperatura absoluta.

Explicación

The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is (3/2)k₂T: at room temperature (293 K), this is 6.07 × 10⁻²¹ J = 0.038 eV per molecule. Since 2019, the kelvin is defined by fixing k₂ to exactly 1.380649 × 10⁻²³ J/K. The Boltzmann constant also appears in entropy (S = k₂ ln W) and the ideal gas law, connecting thermodynamics to statistical mechanics.
