	Antoine Lavoisier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lavoisier's work was partly based on the work of Priestley (he corresponded with Priestley and fellow members of the Lunar Society).
		Also, Lavoisier clarified the concept of an element as a simple substance that could not be broken down by any known method of chemical analysis, and he devised a theory of the formation of chemical compounds from elements.
		Lavoisier's fundamental contributions to chemistry were a result of a conscious effort to fit all experiments into the framework of a single theory.

		In 1791, when Lavoisier was in the middle of all this officia activity, the suppression of the farmers-general marked thi beginning of troubles which brought about his death.
		The fate of the ex-farmers-general was sealed on the 2nd of May 1794, when, on the proposal of Antoine Dupin, one of their former officials, the convention sent them for trial by the Revolutionary tribunal.
		Lavoisiers name is indissolubly associated with the overthrow of the phlogistic doctrine that had dominated the development of chemistry for over a century, and with the establishment of the foundations upon which the modern science reposes.

		Lavoisier demonstrated experimentally that oxygen gas in the air is involved in combustion, calcination (rusting), and respiration, thus disproving Georg Stahl's phlogiston theory.
		Among Lavoisier's major mistakes were the exaggerated importance he ascribed to the role of oxygen in acids and the inclusion of a weightless "heat substance" in his list of chemical elements.
		Lavoisier was elected to the Academy of Sciences in 1768, the same year that he entered the Ferme Generale, a private firm that collected certain taxes for the government.

		Madame Lavoisier prepared herself to be her husband's scientific collaborator by learning English to translate the work of British chemists like Joseph Priestley and by studying art and engraving to illustrate Antoine-Laurent's scientific experiments.
		Characteristic of Lavoisier's chemistry was his systematic determination of the weights of reagents and products involved in chemical reactions, including the gaseous components, and his underlying belief that matter—identified by weight—would be conserved through any reaction.
		Among his contributions to chemistry associated with this method were the understanding of combustion and respiration as caused by chemical reactions with the part of the air he called "oxygen," and his definitive proof by composition and decomposition that water is made up of oxygen and hydrogen.

	Antoine Laurent Lavoisier Biography / Biography of Antoine Laurent Lavoisier Main Biography
		The French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794) was the founder of the modern science of chemistry and the author of the oxygen theory of combustion.
		Antoine Laurent Lavoisier was born in Paris on Aug. 26, 1743, the son of an attorney at the Parlement of Paris.
		By a very precise quantitative experiment Lavoisier showed that the "earthy" sediment produced after long-continued reflux heating of water in a glass vessel was not due to a conversion of the water into earth but rather to the gradual disintegration of the inside of the glass vessel produced by the boiling water.

	Natural History: Capturing the Center - Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier's scientific contributions
		Lavoisier begins his treatise by distinguishing the properties of sediments deposited in open oceans from those formed along shorelines--a device to establish data for his central argument that seas advance and retreat in a cyclical pattern over any given region.
		Lavoisier roots the first theme in a paradox discussed at the end of last month's installment of this two-part essay: the need to simplify at first in order to generalize later.
		Lavoisier argues that we must therefore try to impose similar constraints upon the outside world by seeking "natural experiments," where simple models of our own construction might work adequately in natural conditions chosen for their unusual clarity and minimal number of controlling factors.

		Antoine Laurent Lavoisier, a French scientist during the eighteenth century, is commonly referred to as the Father of Modern Chemistry.
		However, Lavoisier’s process for "discovering" combustion was so prolonged and complex that it does not seem adequate to describe it with words like "shift" or "switch." His change was more of an evolution in which he wavered back and forth before settling on one definite idea.

	ANTOINE LAVOISIER FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier (August_26 1743 – May_8 1794) was a French nobleman prominent in the histories of chemistry, finance, biology, and economics.
		He also demonstrated the role of oxygen in metal rusting, as well as its role in animal and plant respiration: working with Pierre-Simon_Laplace, Lavoisier conducted experiments that showed that respiration was essentially a slow combustion of organic material using inhaled oxygen.
		For the first time the modern notion of elements is laid out systematically; the three or four elements of classical chemistry gave way to the modern system, and Lavoisier worked out reactions in chemical equations that respect the conservation of mass (see, for example, the nitrogen_cycle).

		Antoine, who demonstrated great intellectual prowess at an early age, enjoyed the best education that was available in France at that time.
		It was this originality which determined Antoine Lavoisier's destiny to become the founder of modern chemistry.
		He achieved all this through his insistence on the precise measurements of the materials he used in his experiments, and his capacity to think through the fog of the phlogiston theory which bedevilled the understanding that the chemists of the day brought to their experiments.
