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.

Lavoisier's principle is that within a "closed system", the mass of substances within that system cannot change. It is known also as the mass conservation law. It is most often applied in reference to chemical reactions where the combined mass of the reactants used is equal to the mass of the resulting compound.
