Avogadro's law
Avogadro's law states that, under the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes of gas contain the same number of molecules. This means that if you have two balloons that are the same size and both filled with gas at the same conditions, they will have the same number of gas particles inside, regardless of what type of gas it is. This principle highlights the relationship between gas volume and the quantity of molecules, emphasizing that the type of gas doesn’t change how many molecules occupy a given space.

Avogadro's Law states that, at a constant temperature and pressure, equal volumes of gases contain the same number of molecules, regardless of their type. This means that if you have two balloons of the same size, filled with different gases, they will have the same number of gas particles inside, provided they are at the same temperature and pressure. This principle helps scientists understand gas behavior and is fundamental in chemistry, as it highlights the relationship between volume and the quantity of molecules in gases.
