Amedeo Avogadro Amedeo Avogadro Amedeo Carlo Avogadro, () Count of Quaregna and Cerreto (9 August 17769 July 1856), was an Italian scientist, most noted for his contribution to molecular theory now known as Avogadro's law, which states that equal volumes of gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure will contain equal numbers of molecules. In tribute to him, the number of elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions or other particles) in 1 mole of a substance, , is known as the Avogadro constant, one of the seven SI base units and represented by "N". Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro was born
Amagat's law B, of the mixture is given by: and When the volumes of each component gas (same temperature and pressure) are very similar, then Amagat's law becomes mathematically equivalent to Vegard's law for solid mixtures. When Amagat's law is valid and the gas mixture is made of ideal gases (Ideal gas law): where: It follows that the mole fraction and volume fraction are the same. This is true also for other equation of state. Amagat's law Amagat's law or the Law of Partial Volumes describes the behaviour and properties of mixtures of ideal (as well as some cases of non-ideal) gases.
