01 WHO IS AVOGADRO
Born: August 9, 1776, Turin, Italy
Died: July 9, 1856, Turin, Italy
Parents: Count Filippo Avogadro, Anna Maria Vercellone
Full name: Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro
Education: University of Turin (1796)
Known for: Avogadro's law; Avogadro constant
02 WHO IS AVOGADRO
Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro, Count of
Quaregna and Cerreto was an Italian scientist, most
noted for his contribution to molecular theory now
known as Avogadro's law, which states that equal
volumes of gases under the same conditions of
temperature and pressure will contain equal numbers of
molecules.
 HISTORY

The law was first proposed in 1811 by

Amedeo Avogadro, a professor of higher
physics at the University of Turin for
many years, but it was not generally
accepted until after 1858, when an
Italian chemist, Stanislao Cannizzaro,
constructed a logical system of
chemistry based on it.
 WHAT IS THE LAW

Avogadro’s law states that the

volume of a gas is directly
proportional to a number of moles
of gas, when the temperature and
pressure are held constant.
Calculations are shown for
relationships between volume and
number of moles of a gas.
 WHAT IS THE LAW

Avogadro's Law also explains how volume is

directly proportional to gas amount (in
moles). So, as the volume increases, so does
the amount of gas.

The simple word of Avogadro’s law is that the

"equal volumes of all gases, at the same
temperature and pressure, have the same
number of molecules."
 WHAT IS THE FORMULA

Avogadro's Law is stated

mathematically as
follows: Vn=k, where V is the
volume of the gas, n is the
number of moles of the gas,
and k is a proportionality
constant.
 LET’S SOLVE!

A 100 L birthday balloon is

filled with 0.40 moles of
helium. If a person decides
to add 0.60 moles more
helium to the balloon, what
is the new volume?
 LET’S SOLVE

1) To start this problem, we should identify our

variables and the unknown!
 V1 = 100L

 V2 = ? ← Unknown, this is what we are trying to find!

 n1 = 0.40 moles

 n2 = 0.40 + 0.60 = 1 mole (because it says a person

ADDED 0.60 moles to the already blown ballon, thus
we must add 0.6 to the original amount)
LET’S SOLVE!
 EXAMPLES
Breathing

Human lungs demonstrate Avogadro’s

law in the best possible way. When we
inhale, the lungs expand because they
get filled with air. Similarly, while
exhaling, the lungs let the air out and
shrink in size. The change in volume can
be clearly observed, which is
proportional to the amount or the
number of molecules of air contained by
the lungs
 EXAMPLES
Inflating Balloon

To inflate a balloon, it is filled with

air either through the mouth or with
the help of a pump. If you decrease
the amount of air contained by the
balloon, a significant decrease in the
volume or the size of the balloon
can be observed. Hence, it follows
Avogadro’s law
 EXAMPLES
Pool Tube

A deflated pool tube becomes portable as

the decreased number of air particles inside
the tube reduces its volume and makes it
compact. During inflation, when the tube is
filled with air, the number of air molecules
inside it increases, thereby increasing the
volume and size of the pool tube. Hence,
Avogadro’s law can be implemented to
inflate or deflate the pool tube as per the
requirement

WHAT WAS AVOGADRO’S LAW ALL ABOUT?
IN A SIMPLE WORD
04 ANSWER
The simple word of Avogadro’s law is that
the "equal volumes of all gases, at the
same temperature and pressure, have the
same number of molecules."
