JOSEPH LOUIS GAY-LSAC

On Augt 24, 1804, Joseph Louis Gay-Lsac and Jean-Baptiste Bt ascend a hot air balloon to a height of 4,000 meters altu orr to nduct scientific experiments on gas. The experiments led to Gay-Lsac's disvery that equal volum of all gas expand equally wh the same crease temperature. Coed "Charl' law," this disvery was named after Jacqu Charl who... * gay lussac's law balloon experiment *

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 own reer as a profsor of physics and chemistry began at the Éle Polytechnique.

GAY-LSAC’S LAW

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.

Wh his fellow profsor at the Éle Polytechnique, Louis Jacqu Thénard, Gay-Lsac also participated early electrochemil rearch, vtigatg the elements disvered by s means. Featured image: Undated portra of Joseph Louis Gay-Lsac.
