gay-lussac
With his skill in science, and with his work with the scientific method, Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac earns the title of a great scientist. He was born on December 6, 1778 and he was the oldest child. His father was Antoine Gay. He was a lawyer who called himself Gay-Lussac to be apart from all of the other people with the same last name as Gay there. He got that name from the name of some family property near St Leonard(4) .The French Revolution affected the French scientists then. Gay-Lussac was sent to Paris when he was fourteen when his father was arrested. After taking private lessons and going to boarding school, the Ecole Polytechnique, and the civil engineering school, Gay-Lussac became an assistant to Berthollet, a co-worker of Lavoisier. Gay-Lussac then got his chance to work with famous men. Here with these people he received his training in chemical research(4). Gay-Lussac did his first major research in the winter of 1801-1802 when he was 24. He found some different evidence about the expansion properties of different gases. He took out the water vapor from the equipment he used and made sure that the gases didn't have any moisture, he got results that were more accurate than the others before hi
(5) His work with the expansion of gases was used by Lord Kelvin in the absolute temperature scale and Third Law of Thermodynamics and in the Second Law(9). Dalton could not see how the same proportions could apply to combining volumes(12).
