Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac (1778-1850),French chemist. In 1804,Gay-Lussac made balloon ascents to measure changes in magnetism and air composition with altitude. In 1808 he published the law of combining volumes on the ratio of the gas volumes produced in a chemical reaction. This work gave support to Dalton's atomic theory,and formed the basis for Avogadro's law. With Thenard,he was the first to isolate the element boron,and studied the newly-isolated elements sodium,potassium,and iodine. This lithograph is by French artist Francois-Seraphin Delpech (1778-1825),after a drawing by Belliart | |
