Expert Solution
arrow_forward
Step 1
Amedeo Carlo Avogadro is an Italian chemist, well known for Avogadro's law and Avogadro's number or constant.
In the quantitative aspect of chemistry, we relate the amount of a substance (expressed in mole) to the number of particles like atoms/molecules/ions/subatomic particles, etc. present in the substance.
