Mathematical Definition
Avogadro's law is stated mathematically as:
Where:
- V is the volume of the gas.
- n is the amount of substance of the gas.
- k is a proportionality constant.
The most significant consequence of Avogadro's law is that the ideal gas constant has the same value for all gases. This means that:
Where:
- p is the pressure of the gas in the cell
- T is the temperature in kelvin of the gas

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or definition:
“All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us.... This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one’s brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon.”
—Roger Bacon (c. 1214–c. 1294)
“The very definition of the real becomes: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction.... The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced. The hyperreal.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
