Английская Википедия:Avogadro constant
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Good article Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox The Avogadro constant, commonly denoted Шаблон:Math[1] or Шаблон:Math,[2] is an SI defining constant with an exact value of Шаблон:Val (reciprocal moles).[3][4] It is defined as the number of constituent particles (usually molecules, atoms, or ions) per mole (SI unit) and used as a normalization factor in the amount of substance in a sample. In practice, its value is often approximated as Шаблон:Nowrap or Шаблон:Nowrap.[5] The constant is named after the physicist and chemist Amedeo Avogadro (1776–1856).
The Avogadro constant Шаблон:Math is also the factor that converts the average mass of one particle, in grams, to the molar mass of the substance, in grams per mole (g/mol).[6]
The constant Шаблон:Math also relates the molar volume (the volume per mole) of a substance to the average volume nominally occupied by one of its particles, when both are expressed in the same units of volume. For example, since the molar volume of water in ordinary conditions is about Шаблон:Nowrap, the volume occupied by one molecule of water is about Шаблон:Nowrap, or about Шаблон:Val (cubic nanometres). For a crystalline substance, Шаблон:Math relates the volume of a crystal with one mole worth of repeating unit cells, to the volume of a single cell (both in the same units).
In the SI dimensional analysis of measurement units, the dimension of the Avogadro constant is the reciprocal of amount of substance, <math>\mathsf{N}^{-1}</math>. The Avogadro number, sometimes denoted Шаблон:Math,[7][8] is the numeric value of the Avogadro constant (i.e., without units), namely the dimensionless number Шаблон:Val.[1][9]
The Avogadro constant was historically derived from the old definition of the mole as the amount of substance in 12 grams of carbon-12 (12C); or, equivalently, the number of daltons in a gram, where the dalton is defined as Шаблон:Fraction of the mass of a 12C atom.[10] By this old definition, the numerical value of the Avogadro constant in mol-1 (the Avogadro number) was a physical constant that had to be determined experimentally.
The redefinition of the mole in 2019, as being the amount of substance containing exactly Шаблон:Val particles,[9] meant that the mass of 1 mole of a substance is now exactly the product of the Avogadro number and the average mass of its particles. The dalton however is still defined as Шаблон:Fraction of the mass of a 12C atom, which must be determined experimentally and is known only with finite accuracy. The prior experiments that aimed to determine the Avogadro constant are now re-interpreted as measurements of the value in grams of the dalton.
By the old definition of mole, the numerical value of the mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in grams, was exactly equal to the average mass of one molecule (or atom) of the substance in daltons. With the new definition, this numerical equivalence is no longer exact, and is affected by the uncertainty of the value of the dalton; but it still holds for all practical purposes. For example, the average mass of one molecule of water is about 18.0153 daltons, and of one mole of water is about 18.0153 grams. Also, the Avogadro number is the approximate number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in one gram of ordinary matter.
In older literature, the Avogadro number was also denoted Шаблон:Mvar,[11][12] although that conflicts with the symbol for number of particles in statistical mechanics.
History
Origin of the concept
The Avogadro constant is named after the Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro (1776–1856), who, in 1811, first proposed that the volume of a gas (at a given pressure and temperature) is proportional to the number of atoms or molecules regardless of the nature of the gas.[13]
Avogadro’s hypothesis was popularized by Stanislao Cannizzaro, who advocated Avogadro's work at the Karlsruhe Congress in 1860, four years after his death.[14]
The name Avogadro's number was coined in 1909 by the physicist Jean Perrin, who defined it as the number of molecules in exactly 16 grams of oxygen.[15] The goal of this definition was to make the mass of a mole of a substance, in grams, be numerically equal to the mass of one molecule relative to the mass of the hydrogen atom; which, because of the law of definite proportions, was the natural unit of atomic mass, and was assumed to be 1/16 of the atomic mass of oxygen.
First measurements
The value of Avogadro's number (not yet known by that name) was first obtained indirectly by Josef Loschmidt in 1865, by estimating the number of particles in a given volume of gas.[16] This value, the number density Шаблон:Math of particles in an ideal gas, is now called the Loschmidt constant in his honor, and is related to the Avogadro constant, Шаблон:Math, by
- <math>n_0 = \frac{p_0N_{\rm A}}{R\,T_0},</math>
where Шаблон:Math is the pressure, Шаблон:Math is the gas constant, and Шаблон:Math is the absolute temperature. Because of this work, the symbol Шаблон:Math is sometimes used for the Avogadro constant,[17] and, in German literature, that name may be used for both constants, distinguished only by the units of measurement.[18] (However, Шаблон:Math should not be confused with the entirely different Loschmidt constant in English-language literature.)
Perrin himself determined the Avogadro number by several different experimental methods. He was awarded the 1926 Nobel Prize in Physics, largely for this work.[19]
The electric charge per mole of electrons is a constant called the Faraday constant and has been known since 1834, when Michael Faraday published his works on electrolysis. In 1910, Robert Millikan with the help of Harvey Fletcher obtained the first measurement of the charge on an electron. Dividing the charge on a mole of electrons by the charge on a single electron provided a more accurate estimate of the Avogadro number.[20]
SI definition of 1971
In 1971, in its 14th conference, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) decided to regard the amount of substance as an independent dimension of measurement, with the mole as its base unit in the International System of Units (SI).[17] Specifically, the mole was defined as an amount of a substance that contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in Шаблон:Nowrap (Шаблон:Nowrap) of carbon-12 (12C).[10] Thus, in particular, one mole of carbon-12 was exactly Шаблон:Nowrap of the element.
By this definition, one mole of any substance contained exactly as many molecules as one mole of any other substance. However, this number Шаблон:Math (about 6.022×1023) was a physical constant that had to be experimentally determined, since it depended on the mass (in grams) of one atom of 12C, and therefore it was known only to a limited number of decimal digits.[17] The common rule of thumb that "one gram of matter contains Шаблон:Math nucleons" was exact for carbon-12, but slightly inexact for other elements and isotopes.
In the same conference, the BIPM also named Шаблон:Math (the factor that converted moles into number of particles) the "Avogadro constant". However, the term "Avogadro number" continued to be used, especially in introductory works.[21] As a consequence of this definition, Шаблон:Math was not a pure number, but had the metric dimension of reciprocal of amount of substance (mol-1).
SI redefinition of 2019
Шаблон:Main In its 26th Conference, the BIPM adopted a different approach: effective 20 May 2019, it defined the Avogadro constant Шаблон:Math as the exact value Шаблон:Val, thus redefining the mole as exactly Шаблон:Val constituent particles of the substance under consideration.[22][9] One consequence of this change is that the mass of a mole of 12C atoms is no longer exactly 0.012 kg. On the other hand, the dalton (Шаблон:Aka universal atomic mass unit) remains unchanged as Шаблон:Fraction of the mass of 12C.[23][24] Thus, the molar mass constant remains very close to but no longer exactly equal to 1 g/mol, although the difference (Шаблон:Val in relative terms, as of March 2019) is insignificant for all practical purposes.[9][1]
Connection to other constants
The Avogadro constant Шаблон:Math is related to other physical constants and properties.
- It relates the molar gas constant Шаблон:Mvar and the Boltzmann constant Шаблон:Math, which in the SI is defined to be exactly Шаблон:Val:[9]
- It relates the Faraday constant Шаблон:Mvar and the elementary charge Шаблон:Mvar, which in the SI is defined as exactly Шаблон:Val:[9]
- It relates the molar mass constant Шаблон:Math and the atomic mass constant Шаблон:Math currently Шаблон:Physconst
