"n", as well as other letters, are used as variables. They can contain any value; quite often, you need to find out what value you should replace to make an equation valid. For example, in:

n + 1 = 4

In this case, if you replace "n" with "3", the equation will be satisfied (true); for any other value it won't.

To solve for n in the Van Der Waals equation, you can rearrange the equation to isolate n. The Van Der Waals equation is ((P + a(\frac{n}{V})^2)(V - nb) = nRT). By manipulating this equation, you can solve for n by setting it equal to zero and applying the quadratic formula.
