Lines: 10 > Is there a way of determining atomic weights simply? For many of the more commonly available elements you can utilise either the fact that 1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 litres at n.t.p. (293.3 K, 760 mm Hg), or you can use electrolysis by measuring the amount of an element deposited during a known time by a known electrical current. -- Marcus Hand {ihnp4!}pyuxt!marcus
