Avogadro, Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo, Count of Quaregna and Cer-reto (1776-1856) Italian scientist. Avogadro is mainly remembered for a paper he wrote in 1811 in which he put forward what is now known as avogadro s law. Avogadro was able to use this idea to show... 

Avogadro s law, referred to on page 107, was proposed in 1811 by an Italian physicist at the University of Turin with the improbable name of Lorenzo Romano Amadeo Carlo Avogadro di Quarequa e di Cerreto (1776-1856).

Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro, Conte di Quaregna e Ceretto was born in Turin, Italy in 1776 and was educated as a church lawyer. During the early 1800s, he studied mathematics and physics and was appointed to a professorship at the Royal College of Vercelli where he produced his hypothesis on gases. From 1820 untii his death, Avogadro was professor of physics at the University of Turin where he conducted research on eiectricity and the physicai properties of iiquids.

In 1811, Amedeo Avogadro" (in full, Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avo-gadro di Quaregua e di Cerreto, 1776-1856) used Gay-Lussac s, Dalton s, and others works to make his hypothesis equal volumes of gases (at same temperature and pressure) have equal numbers of molecules. Interestingly, this contribution was largely forgotten until resurrected by Cannizaro in 1858. ... 

Avogadro s Principle In closing, we will discuss Avogadro s principle. Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro s contribution to gas theory is the idea that the volume of a gas is a measure of the number of particles it is made up of, independent of the type of the particles. At given temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is proportional to the amount of substance in question ... 

Lorenzo Romano Amadeo Carlo Avogadro, 1776-1856, was an Italian lawyer and professor of natural philosophy. He was the first to postulate that equal volumes of gases under the same conditions contained the same number of molecules.
