Gas dioxide, and air expand to the same extent over the same 80 kelvin interval. He noted that, for an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to its temperature: In 1802, Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac published results of similar, though more extensive experiments. Gay-Lussac credited Charles' earlier work by naming the law in his honor. Gay-Lussac himself is credited with the law describing pressure, which he found in 1809. It states that the pressure exerted on a container's sides by an ideal gas is proportional to its temperature. In 1811, Amedeo Avogadro verified that equal volumes of pure
Amagat's law Amagat's law Amagat's law or the Law of Partial Volumes describes the behaviour and properties of mixtures of ideal (as well as some cases of non-ideal) gases. Of use in chemistry and thermodynamics. Amagat's law states that the extensive volume "V = N·v" of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of volumes "V" of the "K" component gases, if the temperature "T" and the pressure "p" remain the same: This is the experimental expression of volume as an extensive quantity. It is named after Emile Amagat. According to Amagat's law of partial volume, the total volume of a
