AJacques Charles
BAmedeo Avogadro
CThomas Graham
DRobert Boyle
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Robert Boyle
1. The volume and pressure relationship at constant temperature was published by Robert Boyle, an English natural philosopher, over three hundred years ago.
2. Jacques Charles, a French scientist and balloon pioneer, gave his name to the volume and temperature law.
3. Amedeo Avogadro linked volume to the number of moles.
4. Thomas Graham worked on effusion rates, which comes much later in the study of gases.
