P = absolute pressure
V = volume
T = absolute temperature (I prefer Rankine)

n = number of moles (not molecules - see below)

R = universal gas constant = 8.3145 J/mol K
N = number of molecules
k = Boltzmann constant = 1.38066 x 10-23 J/K = 8.617385 x 10-5 eV/K
k = R/NA
NA = Avogadro's number = 6.0221 x 1023 /mol
