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:
“What he loved so much in the plant morphological structure of the tree was that given a fixed mathematical basis, the final evolution was so incalculable.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Mothers often are too easily intimidated by their children’s negative reactions...When the child cries or is unhappy, the mother reads this as meaning that she is a failure. This is why it is so important for a mother to know...that the process of growing up involves by definition things that her child is not going to like. Her job is not to create a bed of roses, but to help him learn how to pick his way through the thorns.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
