First let me clarify that Gay-Lussac's Law has absolutely nothing to do with sexual orientation.

Gay Lussac's Law is used in reference for each of the two relationships named after Joseph Luis Gay-Lussac and which concern the property of gases.

One law relates to volume in chemical reactions, while the other concerns the pressures and temperatures of individual gases.

These laws are:

---- The Law of Combining Volumes:

The law of combining volumes states that;

The ratio between the combining volume of gases and their reaction product can be expressed in small whole numbers.

Gay-Lussac discovered this law in 1809, it played a major role in the development of modern gas stoichiometry, and in 1811 Avogadro used Gay-Lussac's law to form Avogadro's hypothesis.

---- Pressure-temperature law:

The other law discovered in 1802 states that

The ration between the combining volume of gases and their reaction products can be expressed in small whole numbers.

Simply put, if a gas's temperature increases then so does its pressure, if the mass and volume of the gas are held constant. The law has a particularly simple mathematical form if the temperature is measured on an absolute scale, such as in Kelvin. The law can then be expressed mathematically.

----

NOTE: Charles's Law was also known as the Law of Charles and Gay-Lussac, because Gay-Lussac published it in 1802 using much of Charles' unpublished data from 1787. However, in recent years the term has fallen out of favor since Gay-Lussac has the second but related law presented here and attributed to him. This related form of Gay-Lussac's Law, Charles's Law, and Boyle's law form the combined gas law. The three gas laws in combination with Avogadro's Law can be generalized by the ideal gas law.
