AVOGADRO was born in 1776 and died in 1856 in Turin, Italy. Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro was an Italian physicist and chemist who spent his career as a professor of physics at the University of Turin. Despite graduating in canon law in 1796, he loved physics and began a career as a professor. Thanks to Dalton's atomic theory and Gay-Lussac's gas law on vectors of molecular motion he was able to postulate his Avogadro's Law, which postulates that "equal volumes of different gases, at equal pressure and temperature, contain the same number of molecules." To do this, he relied on the atomic theory of John Dalton and the Gay-Lussac Law on vectors of molecular motion.
