In 1809 his important memoir on gaseous combination was published. In it he pointed out that when gases combine with one another they do so in the simplest proportions by volume, and that the volume of any gaseous product formed bears a simple ratio to that of the constituents. This is still called Gay-Lussac' s law. He was one of the discoverers of the fact that all gases have approximately the same coefficient of expansion(Charle's law). 2, record 2, English, - Gay%2DLussac%27s%20law
