    Christiainn Huygens

    created some of the first practical vaccume oumps and created the manometre which studeis the elastic forces in gases
  • Christiann Huygens was born

  • Galileo died

    Galileo dies in Arcetri Italy
  • Evangelist Torricelli

    Evangelist Torricelli
    he assisted Galileo with some work. he also invented the barometer. he poured murcury into a tube and put it in a dish, and thats when he found out the vaccume was a success. he was the first to create a good working vaccume.
  • Blasie Pascal

    discovered that atmospheric pressure can be measured using weights. discovered the wieght of air.
  • Guericke created air pump

    Guericke created air pump
    he created a vaccume pump that was supposed to pull air from whatever it was connected to
  • Geuricke died

    Geuricke died in Hamburg Germany
  • Period: to

    Amadeo Avogradro

    proposed that equal volumes of diferent gases had an equal number of molecules when thay are the same temperature and have the same pressure
  • Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac

    Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
    he combined volumes and realized that two volumes of hydrogen and one volume of oxygen mad two volumes of water. also preformed experaments with pressure in hot air balloons.
  • John Dalton

    daltons law: the total pressure of a mixture of gases amounted to the sum of the partial pressures that each individual gas exerted while occupying the same space
