The n above gives the number of atoms, basically.

In that equation, the V really is the actual volume. In your
example, if you have a cubic foot of a gas at 100 psia,
at say, 300K, then I can tell you how many moles of gas
there are.

OK. That does make sense but I'm still not sure about all of the
energy.

I'll be near a Borders bookstore next week, willl look for the Fermi
book. It sounds like something I need to read.
