First printing of this extremely important discovery, in which Gay-Lussac first formulated the law, Gay-Lussac's Law, stating that if the mass and pressure of a gas are held constant then gas volume increases linearly as the temperature rises. This is sometimes written as V = k T, where k is a constant dependent on the type, mass, and pressure of the gas and T is temperature on an absolute scale. (In terms of the ideal gas law, k = n R / P.).""In 1802 he (Gay-Lussac) showed that different gases all expanded by equal amounts with rise in temperature. Charles had made the same discovery some years earlier but had not published it"" the credit therefore belongs to Gay-Lussac at least as much, and probably more. This was an extremely importent discovery, which Avogadro was to use within the decade to formulate hid long-neglected hypothesis that equal volumes of different gases at equal temperatures contained equal numbers of particles.""(Asimov).Magie ""A Source Book in Physics"", p.165-172 - Leicester & Klickstein ""A Source Book of Chemistry"", p. 374-379. - Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"" 1802 C.The volume contains other importent papers in chemistry by Humphrey Davy (first French translation of his announcement of the finding of ""Laughing Gas"" (Nitrous Oxide), Parmentier, Vauquelin, Clement et Desormes, Thenard, Guyton, Chenivix

First printing of Gay-Lussac's classic paper on Iodine, (discovered 1811 by J.C. Courtois), in which he showed that the new substance was an element analogous of chlorine and in which he named the substance Iode, from the Greek ioeides, meaning ""violet colored"".Gay-Lussac's and Davy's rechearches on iodine were carried out simultaneously, which makes it difficult to assaign priority. Gay-Lussac was annoyed at Davy's introsion. His work, however, is considered as a model of experimental research. (Leicester & Klickstein ""A Source Book of Chemistry"", p. 293).""Gay-Lussac's major publication on iodine was not ready to be read to the Institute until August 1814, by which time not only Davy but Vaquelin had explored the subject fairly extensively. Gay-Lussac, however, deserves full credit for his detailled study of hydrogen iodide, which he found to have a 50 percent hydrogen content by volume. He contrasted its thermal decomposition with the stability of hydrogen chloride. By the action of chlorine and iodine, he pepared, independently of Davy and at about the same time, iodine monochloride and trichloride. After further carefull study of the properties of iodine, he prepared and examined a number of iodides and iodates. He prepared for the first time ethyl iodide by distilling together concentrated hydriodic acid with absolute alcohol. The close analogy that he emphasized between chlorine and iodine led him to further investigation of the former, and he discovered chloric acid by the action of sulfuric acid on a solution of barium chlorate.""(DSB V, pp. 322-23). - Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1814 C. - Duveen p. 237.The volume contains other importent chemical papers, A.

First printing of the scientific account of Gay-Lussac's famous ascent in a hydrogen ballon in order to make observations on the composition of the air, pressure and the earth's magnetic force. This voyage together with the voyage in the same year with Biot is the first ascents with a scientific purpose.""Gay-Lussac made an ascent in a hydrogen ballon with Biot on 24 August 1804. The primary object of the ascent was to see whether the magnetic intensity at theearth's surface decreased with an increase in altitude. The concluded that it was constant up to 4,000 meters. They also carried long wires to test the electricity of different parts of the atmosphere. Another object was to collect a sample of air from a high altitude to compare its composition with that of air at ground level. Gay-Lussac made a second ascent, on 16. September 1804 (the paper offered), but this time by himself, in order to lessen the weight of the balloon and thus reach a greater high.He was able to repeat observations of pressure, temperature, and humidity and also make magnetic measurem,ents. He had taken two evacuated flasks, which he opened to collect samples of air when he had attained an altitude of over 6,000 meters. His subsequent analysiss of these samples showed that the portion of oxygen was identical with that in ordinary air. Gay-Lussac reached a calculated high of 7,o16 meters above sea level, a record not equaled for another half a century.""(DSB V, p. 318).Brockett: 5164 a - Tissandier p. 23.The volume contains other importent papers, Thenard ""Mémoire sur la liqueur fumante e Cadet"", Parmentier ""Experiences et Observations sur la collage et la clarification des vins, de la biere, etc."", Vauquelin ""Analyse des topazes"", Chenevix and others.

First appearance of this milestone paper in organic chemistry, in which Gay-Lussac describes the preparation, the chemical reactions, and the determination of the physical properties of prussic acid.""One of the most importent contributions of Gay-Lussac was his work on hydro-cyanid acid and its compounds. In the course of his investigations on the combining volumes of gases he had prepared gaseous hydrogen cyanide. This led him to the study of related compounds, and in 1815 he published a paper, ""Recherches sur l'acide prussique"" (the paper offered), wherein he announced the discovery of cyanogen and chlor-cyanogen and the composition of hydrocyanic acid. His demonstartion that hydrogen cyanide contains no oxygen added another oxygen-free acid to those already known (hydrogen halides and sulfide) and contributed to the overthrow of Lavoisier's oxygen theory of acids. Gay-Lussac found that the cyano radical,the first orgianic radical clearly recognized, could act as an element analogous to chlorine, passing unchanged through various reactions. This concept of an organic radical was importent to organic chemistry.""(Leicester & Klickstein ""A Source Book of Chemistry"", p. 293). - Partington IV, p.85 a. p. 253. - Roy G.

Stimulated by this work he studied the reactions of other gases to see whether there were other simple relationshipas, and in 1808 he announced the la of combining volumes, which is now known as GAY-LUSSAC'S LAW, This generalization, obviously connected with some fundamental property of matter, was in part responsible for Avogadro's hypothesis.""(Leicester & Klickstein).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1809 C. - Leicester & Klickstein ""A Source Book in Chemistry"" pp. 292 ff.

First printing of a classical paper in chemistry, helping to establish ""Isomerism"", stating that some chemical substances have the same composition, but different properties.""One of Wöhler's earliest researches was made on the cyanates, the same group of compounds which led to the syntheis of urea. The silver salt of cyanic acid was carefully analyzed and reported in the litterature - 77.23 per cent silver oxide, 22.77 per cent cyanic acid. At about the same time Justus von Liebig, working in Gay-Lussac's laboratory, completed analyzing silver fulminate - 77.53 per cent silver oxide, 22.47 per cent cyanic acid. The analyses indicated an identity, but the compounds clearly differed in properties. Liebig, certain that Wöhler analyses was wron, apparently confirmed this by preparing and analzing silver cyanate, it contained 71 per cent of silver oxide... The two chemists were faced with the dilemma of having two compounds, but drastically different properties... brzelius took notice of the fact that the composition of cyanates and fulminates was apparently identical, but was unable to arrive at an explanation. Gay-Lussac, convinced of the correctness of the analyses, attributed the difference in properties to variation in the way the elements were combined.""
