Gay-Lussac's law gases and the gaseous products can be expressed in simple whole numbers. For example, Gay-Lussac found that 2 volumes of hydrogen and 1 volume of oxygen would react to form 2 volumes of gaseous water. Based on Gay-Lussac's results, Amedeo Avogadro theorized that, at the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes of gas contain equal numbers of molecules (Avogadro's law). This hypothesis meant that the previously stated result could also be expressed as The law of combining gases was made public by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1808. Avogadro's hypothesis, however, was not initially accepted by chemists until the Italian chemist
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
