Hello. I think the third line should read
(5.75*10^26 pN*nm/mol)/(6.02*10^23 molecules/mol)*(#molecules in your system)~
200 kBT/molecule * #molecules in your system
instead of
5.75*10^26 pN*nm/mol * 6.02*10^-23 * #molecules in your system ~ 200 kBT

It's only a typo, though, since the final numeric result is the same.
