Avogadro's law

Gas moles-volume relationship

Avogadro's law states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.

This principle holds regardless of the gas's chemical identity—a liter of oxygen contains as many molecules as a liter of helium under identical conditions.

The law underlies the concept of the mole in chemistry and explains why gas volumes combine in simple whole-number ratios.
