6: Stoichimetry

Question 1

Gay-Lussac’s Law of Combining Gases

Answer 1

This law states that when only gases are involved in a chemical reaction, the volumes of the reacting gases and the volumes of the gaseous products are in small whole-number ratios with each other.

Question 2

Avogadro’s Hypothesis

Answer 2

states that equal volumes of different gases contain equal numbers of particles at the same temperature and pressure.
For ex: 1L of carbon dioxide contains the same particles as 1L of oxygen at same temp and pressure
