Who Was Amedeo Avogadro?

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Amedeo Avogadro was an Italian physicist who developed the hypothesis that says that equal volumes of gases under the same or equal conditions of temperature and pressure have the same number of particles. He was born on August 9, 1776 in Turin, Piedmont in Italy. He passed away on July 9, 1856 in Italy.

    He is best known to be the chemist who was most noted for his contributions to the theory of molarity and molecular weight.

    He started his career as a lawyer, but turned to study Science at the University of Turin. He also became a Physics professor in college and published many articles on physics and chemistry. Most of his work in science was not recognized until the development of the table of atomic weights. The number of gas molecules on one molecule is known as the Avogadro number, which was named after Amedeo Avogardo.
