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
Gay-Lussac's law which he was the first to formulate (c. 1808). He is also sometimes credited, rightfully according to many modern scholars, with being the first to publish convincing evidence that shows the relationship between the pressure and temperature of a fixed mass of gas kept at a constant volume."" These laws are also known variously as the Pressure Law or Amontons's law and Dalton's law respectively. The law of combining volumes states that, when gases react together to form other gases, and when all volumes are measured at the same temperature and pressure The ratio between the volumes of the reactant
