Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac

Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac was a French chemist and physicist known for his work on gases. He discovered that at the same temperature and pressure, different gases occupy the same volume, which contributed to the development of gas laws. Specifically, he formulated Gay-Lussac's law, stating that the pressure of a gas increases proportionally with temperature when volume is constant. His research helped deepen understanding of how gases behave under different conditions, influencing fields like chemistry and physics. Gay-Lussac's work laid important foundations for the development of the ideal gas law and modern thermodynamics.
