French chemist Joseph Louis Gay-Lsac proposed two fundamental laws of gas the early 19th century. While one is generally attributed to a fellow untryman, the other is well known as Gay-Lsac’s law. Joseph Louis Gay-Lsac (1778–1850) grew up durg both the French and Chemil Revolutns.

Gay-Lsac's gas law is a special se of the ial gas law where the gas volume is held nstant. An example shows how to fd the prsure." emprop="scriptn * gay lussac's picture *
Gay-Lsac’s own reer as a profsor of physics and chemistry began at the Éle Polytechnique.
In 1804 Gay-Lsac ma several darg ascents of over 7, 000 meters above sea level hydrogen-filled balloons—a feat not equaled for another 50 years—that allowed him to vtigate other aspects of gas.
In 1808 Gay-Lsac announced what was probably his sgle greatt achievement: om his own and others’ experiments he duced that gas at nstant temperature and prsure be simple numeril proportns by volume, and the rultg product or products—if gas—also bear a simple proportn by volume to the volum of the reactants. This ncln subsequently beme known as Gay-Lsac’s law.

Gay-Lsac was the elst son of a provcial lawyer and royal official who lost his posn wh the French Revolutn of 1789.
Early his schoolg, Gay-Lsac acquired an tert science, and his mathematil abily enabled him to pass the entrance examatn for the newly found Éle Polytechnique, where stunts’ expens were paid by the state.

Gay-Lsac’s first publitn (1802), however, was on the thermal expansn of gas. Charl as “Charl’s law, ” was the first of several regulari the behavur of matter that Gay-Lsac tablished.
” Of the laws Gay-Lsac disvered, he remas bt known for his law of the bg volum of gas (1808).
Gay-Lsac’s approach to the study of matter was nsistently volumetric rather than gravimetric, ntrast to that of his English ntemporary John Dalton. Another example of Gay-Lsac’s fondns for volumetric rats appeared an 1810 vtigatn to the posn of vegetable substanc performed wh his iend Louis-Jacqu Thenard. As a young man, Gay-Lsac participated dangero explos for scientific purpos.
