This is sometimes written as P k T, where k is a constant dependent on the mass and volume of the gas and T is temperature on an absolute scale in terms of the ideal gas law, k nR/V.
He and sitelink Jean Baptiste Biot made a hot air balloon ascent to a height of,metres,ft in an early investigation of the Earth's atmosphere.
He wanted to collect samples of the air at different heights to record differences in temperature and moisture.
Together with his friend and scientific collaborator sitelink Alexander von Humboldt, he discovered that the composition of the atmosphere does not change with decreasing pressure increasing altitude.
They also discovered that water is formed by two parts of hydrogen and one part of oxygen by volume.
He was the co discoverer of boron,In collaboration with Louis Thenard, he developed a method for quantitative elemental analysis by measuring the COand Oevolved by reaction with potassium chlorate.
He recognized iodine as a new element, described its properties, and suggested the name iode,He developed an improved version of the burette that included a side arm, and coined the terms "pipette" and "burette" in anpaper about the standardization of indigo solutions.
