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 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. Of use in chemistry and thermodynamics. Amagat's law states that the extensive volume "V = N·v" of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of volumes "V" of the "K" component gases, if the temperature "T" and the pressure "p" remain the same: This is the experimental expression of volume as an extensive quantity. It is named after Emile Amagat. According to Amagat's law of partial volume, the total volume of a
