Daily 40 no. – 9 Antoine Lavoisier
Daily 40 Hall of Fame! Congratulations to these writers!
Antoine Lavoisier (1743 –1794) conducted experiments that prove respiration was basically a “slow
combustion of organic material using inhaled oxygen.” His respiration experiments disproved the
phlogiston theory. He also took Henry Cavendish’s “inflammable air”, named it hydrogen and combined
it with oxygen which made water. --Karen
Antoine Lavoiser’s enormous contributions to modern chemistry in eighteenth century France included
the first law of conservation of mass, an essential factor in studying chemical reactions, and the naming
of oxygen and hydrogen. His work also showed the inconsistencies of the phlogiston theory, which had
prevented true understanding of combustion. --Madeline
Born in 1743 Paris, Antoine Lavoisier theorized the law of conservation of mass, named oxygen and
hydrogen, abolished the phlogiston theory, and constructed the metric system. Although he did not
discover anything new, the explanations he provided for others’ discoveries were a great leap forward
for the scientific community. --Dawy
Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794) was a French nobleman and chemist. He named oxygen and
hydrogen, helped create the metric system, and wrote the first extensive list of elements. He also found
out that, though matter may change its form, the mass always stays constant. --Alanna
Antoine Lavoisier was a French chemist. He concluded that air must be made of two different gases,
which he named oxygen and hydrogen. Lavoisier also concluded that combustion was a process where
fuel combined with oxygen, disproving the phlogiston theory. His experiments also disproved Aristotle's
air and fire elements. --Andrew
18th century French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, considered the “father of modern chemistry”, named the
elements hydrogen and oxygen, disproved the phlogiston theory in his studies of combustion, stated the
law of conservation of mass, and wrote Elementary Treatise on Chemistry, which is regarded as the first
modern chemistry textbook. --Chantal
The chemist Antoine Lavoisier lived from 1743-1794 in France. He discovered that air was made of at
least Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen, which he called Azote. Author of the Elementary Treatise on
Chemistry, Lavoisier listed elements—such as phosphorous and nickel—and helped transition into the
discovery of other elements. --Christine
Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794) is a French scientist who published the “Elementary Treatise on
Chemistry”. He discovered and named oxygen and argued that there is no such a thing called phlogiston.
He also believed in the “conservation of mass” and developed a proper definition for an element.
--Dee Dee
Antoine Lavoisier an 18th century French chemist was the first to discover that air was made up of
oxygen and nitrogen. He had disproved the phlogiston theory and named the gas oxygen. He also wrote a
chemical textbook, where the he wrote the first list of elements. --Denise
Daily 40 no. – 9 Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier, who lived from 1743 to 1794, named oxygen. He made the first chemistry textbook,
which stated the law of conservation of mass which he discovered by carefully measuring reactants and
products of experiments, showing scientists that materials in experiments must be carefully measured to
get accurate results. --Eric
Antoine Lavoisier was a French scientist who lived from 1743-1704 that finally proved that fire and water
were NOT elements. He showed this by proving that air is a mixture. He showed that fire was not an
element because it was a chemical reaction that gives off energy. --Eyad
Antoine Laurent Lavoisier was born in 1743 in Paris. He is sometimes credited for recognizing and
naming hydrogen and oxygen and abolished the phlogiston theory. He also helped build the metric
system, created the first expansive list of elements, wrote Traité élémentaire de chemie and helped to
correct chemical nomenclature. --Gennelle
Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, a chemist, lived in France from 1743-1794. He corrected many
misconceptions when he published Elementary Treatise on Chemistry. Lavoisier disproved the theory of
phlogiston; he named Oxygen, Hydrogen, and helped identify Nitrogen but named it Azote. In addition,
he discovered the conservation of mass principle. --Isaac
Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier(1743-1974) was a French chemist. He discovered that when matter changes
shape, its mass is the same. He was called the “father of modern chemistry” because he named oxygen
and hydrogen, disproved phlogiston theory, started developing the metric system, and wrote the first
comprehensive list of elements. --Jaya
Antoine Lavoisier (1743 – 1794) was a French chemist. His lasting contributions to chemistry include
naming Oxygen and Hydrogen, starting the periodic table by making a list, and developing the law of
conservation of mass, which states that mass is not destroyed nor created in reactions. --Jeff
Lavoisier, a French chemist, was born in Paris on August 26, 1743. He disproved the phlogiston theory by
proving the law of conservation. He also discovered that diamond is a crystalline form of carbon. He did
not discover any elements. He was beheaded during the French Revolution. --Julia
Antoine Lavoisier studied chemistry in France from 1743 to 1794. He made important contributions to the
periodic table of elements by disproving the ‘phlogiston’ theory, recognizing oxygen as an element. He
also discovered hydrogen. He compiled the first list of the known elements at the time. --Katy
The French scientist Antoine Lavoisier’s most notable contribution to science was probably his support of
thorough experimental evidence. Also of note was his discovery of the role that oxygen plays in
combustion and respiration. He proved that the Phlogiston theory was false. --Oliver
Britishman Antoine Lavoisier lived from 1743–1794. Lavoisier heated mercury and air for 12 days. Red
mercury calx formed and the volume of the air had decreased from 50 to 42in3. The calx was then heated
and 8in3 oxygen was produced proving that phlogiston was not produced by heating. --Tatiana
Daily 40 no. – 9 Antoine Lavoisier
French chemist Antoine Lavoisier contributed a great deal to chemistry. He clarified Priestly’s idea of
phlogiston, recognizing the elements that made water. He also experimented with oxygen and discovered
its presence within animal and plant respiration. More importantly, Lavoisier was responsible for
compiling the elements on the periodic table. --Tokunbo
In respect to science Antoine Lavoisier (a French nobleman) wrote numerous books such as Méthode de
nomenclature chimiquein in which he reformed chemical nomenclature, discussed the law of conservation
of mass, isolated oxygen and hydrogen, abolished the phlogiston theory, contributed to the metric system,
and wrote a list of elements. --Victoria
Antoine Lavoisier, lived from August 26, 1743- May 8, 1794 in France. He concluded that hydrogen and
oxygen made up air, and in doing so proved that water was not an element. He also named oxygen.
However, Lavoisier was more of a theorist, and did not discover any elements. --Yulan
