In 1808, the French chemist Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac reported the results of new experiments together with a generalisation known today as Gay-Lussac’s law of combining gases.
The volume of gas is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature if the volume is kept constant.
\begin{array}{l}\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}\end{array}
Where, V1 = original volume V2 = final volume T1 = original temperature (K) T2 = final temperature (K)
Gay-Lussac’s Law is applicable only to gases. The volumes of liquids or solids involved in the reactants or products are not governed by Gay Lussac’s law.
