In this contribution Avogadro’s hypothesis and the law of atoms proposed by Cannizzaro are presented as a new teaching approach to help our students to gain a better understanding of the laws of classical chemistry. We avoid the very common error to attribute to Avogadro the writing of the correct formula of water, and also suggest a possible explanation of Cannizzaro’s hypothesis regarding the diatomic formula of molecular hydrogen.

Abstract
In this contribution Avogadro’s hypothesis and the law of atoms proposed by Cannizzaro are presented as a new teaching approach to help our students to gain a better understanding of the laws of classical chemistry. We avoid the very common error to attribute to Avogadro the writing of the correct formula of water, and also suggest a possible explanation of Cannizzaro’s hypothesis regarding the diatomic formula of molecular hydrogen.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
