One of the challenges faced by Antoine Lavoisier was opposition from conservative elements in the scientific community who resisted his new chemical theories. He also faced financial difficulties, as his laboratory and research were expensive to maintain. Additionally, Lavoisier had to navigate the political turmoil of the French Revolution, which ultimately led to his arrest and execution.
In 1783, Antoine Lavoisier gave the element the name hydrogen (from the Greek hydro meaning water and genes meaning creator) when he and Laplace reproduced Cavendish's finding that water is produced when hydrogen is burned.
She was born on January 20th, 1758 in Montbrison,a town in the Lorie River Valley, the center of france.
they didnt have adresses in the 1700s......... Or did they?
Antoine Lavoisier is known for finding out how materials burn. and many other things.
Antoine Lavoisier determined that oxygen was a key substance in combustion, and he gave the element its name. He developed the modern system of naming chemical substances and has been called the “father of modern chemistry” for his emphasis on careful experimentation.
Mass is Neither lost nor gained during a chemical change.
He discovered that the phlogiston theory was incorrect, and recognized and named oxygen and hydrogen. He accepted that sulfur is an element, had contributions to metric system, established a list of chemical elements, discovered that diamond is a form of carbon, discovered that water is formed from oxygen and hydrogen, etc.
He proposed independently (he had any knowledge of Lomonosov works) the law of mass conservation.
Joseph Proust is credited with the discovery of the Law of definite proportions.
The law states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed. In a typical balanced chemical reaction, the products are just essentially rearrangements of atoms and bonds of the reactants. The overall mass and therefore number of atoms are the same. Moreover, the idea of an atom should exist, otherwise we wouldn't have any grasp on the concepts of chemical reaction equations in the first place.
when he tested dimonds mass in air and not in air with a giant lense why i dont know
Lavoisier proposed a new theory of combustion that excluded phlogiston in 1777. He found that most acids contained breathable air. Lavoisier called it oxygène, from the two Greek words for acid generator.
Antoine Lavoisier was guillotined during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror on May 8, 1794. Under the monarchy, Lavoisier had a share in the General Farm, an enterprise that collected taxes for the government. He was executed with his father-in-law and 26 other General Farm members.
Although chemistry was Lavoisier's passion, throughout his life he devoted the majority of his time to financial and administrative affairs.
LaVoisier was married to Marie-Anne Paulz when he was 28 and she was 13. Their marriage had nothing to do with love or passion -- most marriages between aristocrats at that time were for money or prestigue -- but was a favor that Antoine did for his friend, Jacques Paulz, who wanted to prevent Marie-Anne from marrying someone else.
There is no way of knowing if the couple had any intention of having children, or even the extent of passion within their marriage. Either could have been infertile, or they could have viewed their marriage as a legal sham with no intention of consumating it. We can never know.
The Law of Conservation of Mass dates from Antoine Lavoisier's 1789 discovery that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. In other words, the mass of any one element at the beginning of a reaction will equal the mass of that element at the end of the reaction.
he live in fetherstone and he died in hes house
by stabing him in the temble thats not how he died he was executed (head chopped off) for selling waterd down tobacco
Antoine Lavoisier won a prize for figuring out a way to light the streets of Paris, discovered the role oxygen plays in combustion, and received a bachelor degree in college. He worked in geology and chemistry most of his life, and was involved in the French Revolution.
-----I wouldn't say the french revolution was an accomplishment. He was beheaded at the guillotine! However, he did have the basic idea of conservation of mass, which contributed to Einstein's E=mc^2. (but that is in many scientist's *opinion*)
Lavoisier is not known for an atomic theory.
Lavoisier discovered that burning and respiration involve oxygen.
