Gas Laws of Boyle and Charles |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| With their discovery of the gas laws that bear their names, Robert Boyle and Jacques Alexandre Charles made important contributions to chemistry. In 1661 English scientist Robert Boyle found that the volume of a gas varies inversely with its pressure, if the temperature is held constant. About a hundred years later, a French physicist, Jacques Alexandre Charles, observed that the volume of a gas varies in proportion to its temperature, if the pressure is held constant. | ||||||
