What were the challenges of Antoine Lavoisier?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What did 18th-century chemist Antoine Lavoisier prove was a compound of hydrogen and oxygen?

Asked by Wiki User

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.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What was Antoine Lavoisier important discovery?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What did Antoine Lavoisier discover about the atom?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Why didnt Antoine lavoisier have any kids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What experiments did Antoine Lavoisier use to create the law of conservation of mass?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Did Antoine lavoisier win a Nobel Prize?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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*)
