He showed that flames require air, and that sound does not travel in a vacuum.
In discussing non-ideal gases, his name is given to the temperature at which the second virial coefficient multiplying the density vanishes. He showed that flames require air, and that sound does not travel in a vacuum. These facts appear in his 1660 work, The Spring of the Air and Its Effects, which discusses his experiments using an air pump he designed with the help of his assistant Robert Hooke. FTP name this Englishman whose law states that for an ideal gas at constant temperature, the product of pressure and volume is constant.
