Which of the following states Avogadros Law?
Explanation
Avogadro's Law states that equal volumes of all gases, under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, contain the same number of molecules [t2][t4][t5]. Formulated by Amedeo Avogadro in 1811, this principle implies that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas when temperature and pressure are held constant [t4][t5]. Regarding the other options: Option 1 describes the Dulong and Petit Law, which relates specific heat and atomic weight [t3]. Option 2 describes Boyle's Law, which states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at a constant temperature [t1][t6]. Option 4 describes Graham's Law of diffusion, which relates the rate of gas diffusion to the square root of its density [t3].
