Gay+Lussacalexandjohnteachingwiki

Gay Lussac (GL) used some of Charles's notes to derive his equations, and for years took credit for some of his work. he lived from 1778 to 1850. He was a chemist and a physicist, and has his own chemical gas law.

his law states that P1/V1=P2/V2

Now, im sure your thinking that all these laws look the same. Well they do, and they are very similar but they took alot to actually prove. He actually got samples of air at different heights. This was to test them for moisture and temperature.

Example: at 100 feet air=100 PSI V=5m at 1000 feet air= 200PSI V=??? 100/5=200/V2 25=200/V2 V2*25=200 V2=200/25 V2=8m As Pressure increases, Volume increases.
