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.

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 *
Joseph Louis Gay-Lsac (1778–1850) grew up durg both the French and Chemil Revolutns. Gay-Lsac’s own reer as a profsor of physics and chemistry began at the Éle Polytechnique.
GAY-LSAC'S GAS LAW EXAMPL
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.
EXPERIMENT: GAY-LSAC’S LAW
This ncln subsequently beme known as Gay-Lsac’s law.
