Avogadro's law states that, at constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles present. In other words, equal volumes of gases at the same pressure and temperature contain the same number of molecules - this is true regardless of their physical properties or chemical nature.

This number of molecules is

6.022

10

23

and is known as Avogadro's number,

N

A

.

Matematically, Avogadro's law can be written like this

V

n

=

c

o

n

s

t

, or, better yet,

V

1

n

1

=

V

2

n

2

.

Avogadro's law, as well as Boyle's law and Charles' law, are special cases of the ideal gas law,

P

V

=

n

R

T

. If temperature and pressure are kept constant, and knowing that

R

is of course constant, then

P

V

=

n

R

T

P

V

n

=

R

T

V

n

=

R

T

P

=

c

o

n

s

t

, which represents Avogadro's law.

The ideal gas law can also be written to incorporate

N

A

, since the number of moles are actually the number of molecules divided by Avogadro's number

P

V

=

N

N

A

R

T

, where

N

represents the number of molecules.
