Gay Lussac GAY-LUSSAC -- SCIENTIST 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
The word ‘wine’ was derived from the use of two words; vinus (wine) and vine (grape) in Latin. Alcoholic fermentation dates back to 10,000 years ago where the use of grapes was more than likely not the original source of sugars within the fermentation process to produce alcohol (Hooper, 2014). Fermented drinks were served as a source of stress relief and clean liquid refreshment. Islamic writings on wine fermentation and distillation are believed to be the first recordings of the production of wine
it is the second hardest of all the elements on the mohs scale – only carbon (diamond) is harder. Only 11 elements have higher melting points than boron: these are C, W, Re, Os, Ta, Mo, Nb, Ir, Ru, Hf, and Tc. Boron was discovered by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis Jacques Thenard on June 30th on 1808. This element has contributed to chemistry enormously over the years. This is the history of Boron and how it has affected chemistry. Time before Boron was rough. Since people didn’t have Boron they
Introduction In this experiment the relationship between volume and pressure and the relationship between temperature and volume are explored with the LabQuest pressure sensor. First, the sensor and a syringe were used to find the relationship between volume and pressure by changing the volume within the syringe while it was connected to the sensor. Next the sensor was connected into an Erlenmeyer flask which was put into boiling water that was slowly lowered to 0○ to measure the change in pressure
In the eighteenth century, as the Age of Enlightenment permeated Europe and nations beyond, scientists made significant progress in unlocking the secrets of the natural world. Men like Sir Humphry Davy, Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac, Joseph Priestley, Antoine Lavoisier, and others all created a name for themselves due to their discoveries. However, another important scientist of that time, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, is less well-known due to his independence and unwillingness to publish. Even though Scheele
The History of Chemistry Chemistry is the science of the composition and structure of materials and of the changes that materials undergo. It is also used in improving standards of living, making it possible for such substances as rubber, nylon, and plastics to be made from completely different materials. New materials and new properties of old materials are always being discovered. Some earlier products discovered from chemical reactions are ceramics, glass, and metals. Dyes and medicines

the particles will move around at higher speeds. Hot air balloons were extremely popular at that time and scientists were eager to improve the performance of their balloons. Two of the prominent French scientists, Jacques Charles and Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac, made detailed measurements on how the volume of a gas was affected by the temperature of the gas. Given the interest in hot air balloon at that time, it's not surprising these men should be interested in the temperature-volume relationship
