They are not the same, but related. From Wikipedia (article "gas constant"): " [The gas constant] is equivalent to the Boltzmann constant, but expressed in units of energy (i.e. the pressure-volume product) per temperature increment per mole (rather than energy per temperature increment per particle)".

What is the NAME of the constant k in boyle's law where PV equals k?
Boltzman constant
Does the gas constant R vary with temperature?
No, the gas constant, or any constant, is constant meaning it doesn't change.
What is the constant equal to the ratio of the gas constant to the avogadro constant?
Boltzmanns constant
What is characteristic gas constant?
"Characteristic Gas Constant"The constant 'R' used in the characteristic gas equation PV=RT , has a constant value for a particular gas and is called 'Characteristic gas constant' or 'specific gas constant' . Its value depend upon the temperature scale used and the properties of the gas, under consideration.The value of R will be.For atmospheric pressure air,R= 287 J/kg/k
What is maxwell-boltzman distribution?
a simple model that describe the distribution of velocity of molecules in a gas with probabality concept. according to this model the probability of finding a certain velocity in a gas is proportional to e-E/KT, where E=1/2 mv2 for a free atoms of a gas.
