Avogadro Hypothesis

Avogadro hypothesis

Avogadro Hypothesis
Definition
Equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules
Implications
Allows for the calculation of the molecular weight of a gas
Provides a way to convert between the volume of a gas and the number of molecules it contains
Applications
Used in stoichiometry to calculate amounts of reactants and products in chemical reactions
Used in gas law calculations
