What did Joseph Priesley discover in 1744?

Joseph Priestley discovered oxygen in 1774. He isolated the gas during an experiment with mercury oxide and found that it supported combustion and helped in respiration. His discovery of oxygen revolutionized the understanding of gases and their role in chemical reactions.


What did Joseph priestly find out?

In 1774 Joseph Priestley discovered oxygen. He conducted several experiments and one of them showed that plants release oxygen into the air.


How did ingenhousze showed this was dephlogisticated and not fixed air?

Joseph Priestley, through experiments with gases, demonstrated that "dephlogisticated air" (what we now know as oxygen) was distinct from "fixed air" (carbon dioxide) by observing their different properties. He showed that dephlogisticated air supported combustion and respiration, while fixed air did not. Additionally, he found that dephlogisticated air produced a brighter flame and was absorbed by substances like rusting iron, which further distinguished it from fixed air. This helped lay the groundwork for understanding the composition of air and the nature of gases.

Why is the word oxygen called oxygen?

It derives from the French 'principe oxygene' which means 'acidifying principle'. The name was given because at the time it was thought that oxygen had to be present in an acid. The word was suggested by Antoine Lavoisier, the 'father of chemistry', though it was first isolated by Joseph Priestley. Priestly had called it 'dephlogisticated air' so I for one am very grateful to Lavoisier.
