The gas laws which we will study now are the result of research carried on for several centuries on the physical properties of gases.

The first reliable measurement on properties of gases was made by Anglo-Irish scientist Robert Boyle in 1662.

The law which he formulated is known as Boyle’s Law. Later on attempts to fly in air with the help of hot air balloons motivated Jaccques Charles and Joseph Lewis Gay Lussac to discover additional gas laws.

Contribution from Avogadro and others provided lot of information about gaseous state.

Gas laws gives the relationship between the measurable properties
