Mole Concept
Which statement is correct regarding Avogadro's hypothesis?
Select the correct option:
Solution
Equal volumes of gases at same T and P contain equal numbers of molecules
- Statement: Avogadro's Law states that at constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of molecules (or moles) present.
- Key Conclusion: Consequently, equal volumes of all gases (at the same T and P) contain an equal number of molecules.
- Why other options are wrong:
- Different gases have different molar masses, so equal volumes do NOT have equal masses.
- Molecules can be monoatomic or polyatomic, so equal molecules do not necessarily mean equal atoms.
