Avogadro Family
Avogadro is an Italian surname, derived from ''avogaro'', a Venetian term for a diocese official (equivalent to ''avvocato'', ''advocatus'', "advocate"). In 1389, bishop Nicolò Beruti, made the office of ''avogaro'' hereditary, and a number of noble families with the name ''Avogaro'' or ''Avogadro'' developed over the following centuries, in Brescia, Vercelli and Treviso. * Albert Avogadro (d. 1214), canon lawyer and Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem * Amedeo Avogadro (1776–1856), chemist. Named after him are: ** Avogadro constant ** Avogadro's law, an ideal gas law ** Avogadro project, a project to base the standard kilogram mass on the Avogadro constant, rather than an arbitrary block of metal ** Avogadro (crater), lunar crater ** Avogadro (software), molecular editor * Lucia Albani Avogadro (1534–1568), poet * Oscar Avogadro Oscar Avogadro (9 August 1951 – 30 September 2010) was an Italian lyricist.

Albert Avogadro
Albert of Jerusalem (''Albertus Hierosolymitanus; Albertus Vercelensis,'' also ''Saint Albert'', ''Albert of Vercelli'' or ''Alberto Avogadro''; died 14 September 1214) was a canon lawyer and saint. He was Bishop of Bobbio and Bishop of Vercelli, and served as mediator and diplomat under Pope Clement III. Innocent III appointed him Patriarch of Jerusalem in 1204 or 1205. In Jerusalem, he contributed the Carmelite Rule of St. Albert to the newly-founded Carmelite Order. He is honoured as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church and commemorated by the Carmelites on 17 September. Life Born at Castel Gualtieri, Italy, he was educated in theology and law. He entered the Canons Regular of the Holy Cross at Mortara and was elected prior in 1180. He became Bishop of Bobbio in 1184, and a year later was appointed Bishop of Vercelli."Colonnade Statue in St Peter's Square" {{DEFAULTSORT:Avogadro, Albert 1214 deaths Bishops of Bobbio Bishops of Vercelli Christians of the Crusades ...

Amedeo Avogadro
Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro, Count of Quaregna and Cerreto (, also , ; 9 August 17769 July 1856) was an Italian scientist, most noted for his contribution to molecular theory now known as Avogadro's law, which states that equal volumes of gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure will contain equal numbers of molecules. In tribute to him, the ratio of the number of elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions or other particles) in a substance to its amount of substance (the latter having the unit mole), , is known as the Avogadro constant. This constant is denoted ''N''A, and is one of the seven defining constants of the SI. Biography Amedeo Avogadro was born in Turin to a noble family of the Kingdom of Sardinia (now part of Italy) in the year 1776. He graduated in ecclesiastical law at the late age of 20 and began to practice. Soon after, he dedicated himself to physics and mathematics (then called ''positive philosophy''), and in 1809 started tea ...

Avogadro Constant
The Avogadro constant, commonly denoted or , is the proportionality factor that relates the number of constituent particles (usually molecules, atoms or ions) in a sample with the amount of substance in that sample. It is an SI defining constant with an exact value of . It is named after the Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro by Stanislao Cannizzaro, who explained this number four years after Avogadro's death while at the Karlsruhe Congress in 1860. The numeric value of the Avogadro constant expressed in reciprocal moles, a dimensionless number, is called the Avogadro number. In older literature, the Avogadro number is denoted or , which is the number of particles that are contained in one mole, exactly . The Avogadro number is the approximate number of nucleons (protons or neutrons) in one gram of ordinary matter. The value of the Avogadro constant was chosen so that the mass of one mole of a chemical compound, in grams, is approximately the number of nucleons in one cons ...

Avogadro's Law
Avogadro's law (sometimes referred to as Avogadro's hypothesis or Avogadro's principle) or Avogadro-Ampère's hypothesis is an experimental gas law relating the volume of a gas to the amount of substance of gas present. The law is a specific case of the ideal gas law. A modern statement is: Avogadro's law states that "equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules." 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, hypothesized that two given samples of an ideal gas, of the same volume and at the same temperature and pressure, contain the same number of molecules. As an example, equal volumes of gaseous hydrogen and nitrogen contain the same number of atoms when they are at the same temperature and pressure, and observe ideal gas behavior. In practice, real gases show small d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Avogadro Project
The Committee on Data for Science and Technology, scientific community examined several approaches to redefining the kilogram before deciding on a 2019 redefinition of the SI base units, redefinition of the SI base units in November 2018. Each approach had advantages and disadvantages. Prior to the redefinition the kilogram, and several other SI units based on the kilogram, were defined by an artificial metal object called the international prototype of the kilogram (IPK). There was broad agreement that the older definition of the kilogram should be replaced. The International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) approved a redefinition of the SI base units in November 2018 that defines the kilogram by defining the Planck constant to be exactly . This approach effectively defines the kilogram in terms of the second and the metre, and took effect on 20 May 2019. In 1960, the metre, previously similarly having been defined with reference to a single platinum-iridium bar with t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Avogadro (crater)
Avogadro is an ancient lunar impact crater that is located in the northern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon. The formation has been heavily worn and eroded by subsequent impacts, so that the rim is now little more than a rounded edge surrounding the crater depression. The crater floor is equally worn, being covered in a multitude of smaller craters of various sizes. Many of these smaller craters have also been eroded, leaving little more than a faint trace on the surface. Nearby craters of note include Tikhov, which is nearly attached to the southeast rim, Oberth to the west, and Schjellerup to the north-northwest. To the south-southwest is the crater Yamamoto, and farther to the south is the large walled plain D'Alembert Jean-Baptiste le Rond d'Alembert (; ; 16 November 1717 – 29 October 1783) was a French mathematician, mechanician, physicist, philosopher, and music theorist.

Lucia Albani Avogadro
Lucia Albani Avogadro (Bergamo, 1534 – Brescia, 1568) was an Italian poet, member of the Albani family. Biography Born Lucia Albani in Bergamo, she had four brothers and two sisters, and was the daughter of Giovanni Gerolamo Albani – a jurisconsult, cardinal and governor of Bagnoregio – and Laura Longhi, herself the niece of Abbondio Longhi, secretary to Bartolomeo Colleoni. Lucia married Faustino Avogadro, a member of the Brescian nobility, at the age of sixteen and settled in that city: well versed in letters, she was a member of the '' Accademia degli Occulti'' in Brescia and wrote ''Rime'' which was published in Venice in 1553. She was involved in a dramatic family feud with the Brembati family, which led to the murder of Achille Brembati in 1563 in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo, resulting in the arrest of her brothers and father, and the exile of her husband to Ferrara, who was considered to be part of the plot. The young woman followed her husband ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
