Which scientist is credited for presenting the temperature and volume relationship of gases?
Answer: Jacques Charles
Explanation
In 1787, the French scientist Jacques Charles discovered that the volume of a gas varies when we change its temperature, keeping the pressure constant.
Jacques Charles is known for Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (in Kelvin) when pressure is held constant.
This relationship is fundamental in gas behavior studies.
