AVOGADRO'S LAW
The behavior of gases described by
Boyle’s, Charles’s, and Dalton’s laws is nearly the same for all gases.
Avogadro’s law states that under identical conditions of temperature and
pressure, equal volumes of different gases contain equal numbers of particles
(atoms or molecules).
The temperature 0ºC (32ºF) and the
pressure equal to the pressure Earth’s atmosphere exerts at sea level are called
standard temperature and pressure (STP). According to Avogadro’s law, 1 cubic
meter of oxygen at STP contains the same number of particles as 1 cubic meter of
nitrogen at STP. Restated, Avogadro's law says that one mole of any
gas at STP occupies a volume of 22.4 liters. A mole is 6.02 × 1023
basic particles (atoms or molecules) of a substance. The extremely large number
6.02 × 1023 is called Avogadro's number.
