Subtopics

• Avogadro's law [r]: Is a gas law named after Amedeo Avogadro, who in 1811 hypothesized that Equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, contain the same number of particles, or molecules. ^[e]
• Boyle's law [r]: is a special case of the ideal gas law from which one may calculate either the pressure or the volume of gas. ^[e]
• Charles' law [r]: Is a special case of the ideal gas law, which states: At constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas increases or decreases by the same factor as its absolute temperature increases or decreases. ^[e]
