Important Scientific Laws
Avogadro's Law It states that equal volumes of all gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure contain equal number of molecules. This means that as long as the temperature and pressure remain constant, the volume (V) depends upon number of molecules of the gas or in other words amount of the gas. Mathematically we can write V ∝ n … [Read more...] about Important Scientific Laws
