Avogadro's law

At constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the amount of gas in moles, so V/n stays constant. The equation compares two states of the same gas or two gases under the same conditions.

\frac{V_1}{n_1} = \frac{V_2}{n_2}

What the symbols mean

initial volume of the gas (e.g. in \mathrm{L})
initial amount of gas substance (in \mathrm{mol})
final volume of the gas (e.g. in \mathrm{L})
final amount of gas substance (in \mathrm{mol})
