Who invented the phlogiston theory?
I think that it was Antoine Lavoiser that invented it but I am not that sure so you may need a second opinion!
What is the phlogiston theory?
It was an early theory put forward by chemists to explain certain things about the chemistry of air. Particularly to explain what was in the air that could or could not support burning or life.
How did Antoine lavoisier disprove the phlogiston theory?
There was no evidence until at least 2 yrs into the work of the phlogiston theory
Was the phlogiston theory of burning correct?
No, it was not. The phenomena explained by the theory are now known to be a result of oxidation, and phlogiston does not exist.
Who rejected phlogiston theory?
Lavoiser rejected the phlogiston theory!
When iron rusts is it a phlogiston theory or a oxygen theory?
It is a process that involves oxygen. The phlogiston theory has been disprooven for a long time.

What evidence was there to prove that the phlogiston pheory was correct?
1. I believe that theories can only be disproven, not proven. i.e. You create a theory and then you try to disprove it, if you can't then you can consider that theory to be true (convicing other people may be more difficult however). 2. I think the theory you describe is disproven as and todays equivalent is what we now know as 'oxidation'.
Why did the phlogiston theory change peoples ideas about burning?
because it changed their mind to belive that phlogiston is in flammable things.
What does the phlogiston theory ignore?
The phlogiston theory was not able to give satisfactory explanations of diverse energy conversions that involved heat energy. For example, through friction you can generate an almost unlimited amount of heat energy from a device.
Recognized as the father of modern chemistry and discovered phlogiston?
Lavoisier is consider the first modern important chemist. The phlogiston theory was created in 1667 by Johann Joachim Becher. This theory is false.
What did Johann becher and georg stahl invent?
Proposed the theory of burning called the phlogiston theory
