Avogadro's Principle According to Atkins and Jones, Avogadro's Principle states that the "molar volume, Vm, of a substance--any substance, not only a gas, is the volume it occupies per mole of its molecules." This principle is also expressed mathematically in the equation Vm = V/n where V is the volume of a sample and n is the amount, in moles, of molecules the sample contains. Avogadro's principle was developed to respond to the conflicting conclusions …showed first 75 words of 711 total…
