  2. Charles's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles's_law

    The law was named after scientist Jacques Charles, who formulated the original law in his unpublished work from the 1780s.. In two of a series of four essays presented between 2 and 30 October 1801, [2] John Dalton demonstrated by experiment that all the gases and vapours that he studied expanded by the same amount between two fixed points of temperature.

  3. Graduated cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduated_cylinder

    To read the volume accurately, the observation must be at an eye level and read at the bottom of a meniscus of the liquid level. [7] The main reason as to why the reading of the volume is done via meniscus is due to the nature of the liquid in a closed surrounded space. By nature, liquid in the cylinder is attracted to the wall around it ...

  4. Volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume

    Some SI units of volume to scale and approximate corresponding mass of water. To ease calculations, a unit of volume is equal to the volume occupied by a unit cube (with a side length of one). Because the volume occupies three dimensions, if the metre (m) is chosen as a unit of length, the corresponding unit of volume is the cubic metre (m 3).

  5. Avogadro's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro's_Law

    For a given mass of an ideal gas, the volume and amount (moles) of the gas are directly proportional if the temperature and pressure are constant. The law is named after Amedeo Avogadro who, in 1812, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] hypothesized that two given samples of an ideal gas, of the same volume and at the same temperature and pressure, contain the same ...

  6. Measure (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measure_(mathematics)

    A simple example is a volume (how big an object occupies a space) as a measure. In mathematics, the concept of a measure is a generalization and formalization of geometrical measures (length, area, volume) and other common notions, such as magnitude, mass, and probability of events. These seemingly distinct concepts have many similarities and ...

  7. Experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiment

    Experiments might be categorized according to a number of dimensions, depending upon professional norms and standards in different fields of study. In some disciplines (e.g., psychology or political science), a 'true experiment' is a method of social research in which there are two kinds of variables.

  8. Stoichiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoichiometry

    By definition, the atomic mass of carbon-12 is 12 Da, giving a molar mass of 12 g/mol. The number of molecules per mole in a substance is given by the Avogadro constant, exactly 6.022 140 76 × 10 23 mol −1 since the 2019 revision of the SI. Thus, to calculate the stoichiometry by mass, the number of molecules required for each reactant is ...

  9. Quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantity

    In science, quantitative structure is the subject of empirical investigation and cannot be assumed to exist a priori for any given property. The linear continuum represents the prototype of continuous quantitative structure as characterized by Hölder (1901) (translated in Michell & Ernst, 1996). A fundamental feature of any type of quantity is ...
