Gay-Lussac
Gas law discoverer
Gay-Lussac refers to Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac (1778–1850), a French chemist and physicist known for his work on gases.
His name attaches to several scientific principles: Gay-Lussac's law describes the relationship between gas pressure and temperature at constant volume.
The Gay-Lussac tower is used in sulfuric acid production.
In wine and spirits, degrees Gay-Lussac measure alcohol content by volume.
