Avogadro's law "P" are taken at standard conditions for temperature and pressure (STP), then "k"'=1/"n", where "n" is Loschmidt constant. Avogadro's hypothesis (as it was known originally) was formulated in the same spirit of earlier empirical gas laws like Boyle's law (1662), Charles's law (1787) and Gay-Lussac's law (1808). The hypothesis was first published by Amadeo Avogadro in 1811, and reconciled Dalton atomic theory with the "incompatible" idea of Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac that some gases were composite of different fundamental substances (molecules) in integer proportions. In 1814, independently from Avogadro, André-Marie Ampère published the same law with similar conclusions. As Ampère was
Zeroth law of thermodynamics that provides a continuous ordering of states. The dimensionality of a surface of constant temperature is one less than the number of thermodynamic parameters, thus, for an ideal gas described with three thermodynamic parameters "P", "V" and "N", it is a two-dimensional surface. For example, if two systems of ideal gases are in equilibrium, then = where "P" is the pressure in the "i"th system, "V" is the volume, and "N" is the amount (in moles, or simply the number of atoms) of gas. The surface = constant defines surfaces of equal thermodynamic temperature, and one may label defining "T"
