Correct Answer: Thomas Andrews


Solution : The correct answer is Thomas Andrews.

Thomas Andrews, an Irish chemist and physicist, conducted a thorough investigation of the gas laws, focusing on the relationships between pressure, temperature, and volume in carbon dioxide. Andrews' work on carbon dioxide in the 1860s was significant in the development of the concepts of critical temperature and critical pressure, which laid the foundation for modern thermodynamics and the understanding of phase transitions in gases. His research was a valuable contribution to the fields of physical chemistry and gas behaviour.
