KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

avogadro's constant

Explanation:

this is the fixed number of the atoms in the molecule of an element

avogadro's law states that equal volumes of gases<em> </em><em>at</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>same</em><em> </em><em>temperature</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>pressure</em><em> </em><em> </em><em>contain</em><em> </em><em>equal</em><em> </em><em>numbers</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>molecules</em><em> </em>

<em>that</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>all</em><em> </em><em>gases</em><em> </em><em>with</em><em> </em><em>same</em><em> </em><em>temperature</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>pressure</em><em> </em><em>will</em><em> </em><em>always</em><em> </em><em>have</em><em> </em><em>equal</em><em> </em><em>numbers</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>molecules</em><em> </em>
