Avogadro's Law (Noun)
Meaning
The principle that equal volumes of all gases (given the same temperature and pressure) contain equal numbers of molecules.
Classification
Nouns denoting cognitive processes and contents.
Examples
- Avogadro's Law was used by scientists to understand the composition of the air by analyzing the gases and comparing the ratios of each.
- By understanding Avogadro's Law, it's easier to compare different volumes of gases, because at equal temperature and pressure the ratio is fixed.
- It wasn't until the concept of Avogadro's Law became widespread that people understood why identical gas balloons contained similar weights when held under constant pressure.
- Knowing that one mole of each of any ideal gas holds one mole of gas under a standard condition at equal temperatures, stems directly from Avogadro's Law.
- Equal gas quantities found inside vehicles demonstrate compliance to Avogadro's Law, in one mole of gas there are approximately six times ten to the power of twenty three molecules.
