The law that states that, at constant pressure and temperature, the volume of a gas is proportional to the moles of that gas.
What is Avogadro's Law?
This fruit is the only fruit to have seeds on the outside.
What is a strawberry?

What is durian?
A measure of concentration defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
What is molality?
An ion that does not take part directly in a chemical reaction but is present in the reaction system.
What is a spectator ion?
A theoretical object that perfectly absorbs and emits energy at all wavelengths.
What is a blackbody radiator?
This law states that the enthalpy or heat change accompanying a chemical reaction is independent of the pathway between the initial and final states.
What is Hess's Law?
