Specialty Definition: Avogadro's law

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Avogadro's law, discovered by Amedeo Avogadro, dictates that the number of molecules in a specific volume of gas is dependent on its pressure and temperature.

The law has three facets:

Multiply all that by a constant to make an equality instead of a proportion and you get:

n = PV/RT

Where R is equal to 8.31 (kPa * L)/(K * mol), and n represents one mole.

One mole occupies approximately 22.4 Liters at STP.
