Amagat's law or the Law of Partial Volumes of 1880 describes the behaviour and properties of mixtures of ideal (as well as some cases of non-ideal) gases. Of use in chemistry and thermodynamics, Amagat's law states that the volume Vm of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of volumes Vi of the K component gases, if the temperature T and the pressure p remain the same: [1]

 V_m(T,p)=\sum_{i=1}^K V_i(T,p)  .
