The facts, as they stand, are these: every creature, when respiring, releases phlogiston. In fact, respiration is simply to be considered a form of combustion. Anything that can burn contains phlogiston. Substances, when burnt, release this weightless, invisible substance - an element of their being, their composition - the phlogiston. The phlogiston is always in need of somewhere to go. Such as, air is best for the phlogiston. Air can absorb it. Taking this mode of thinking to its furthest logical conclusion we can only state that the reason creatures "suffocate" is because there is nowhere for the phlogiston to go. When air was removed from around a living creature then there is nowhere for the phlogiston to go and so respiration would cease and the creature dies.

When was O2 discovered and by whom?
ANSWER:Oxygen was discovered by two chemists working independently. They were Carl Scheele of Sweden and Joseph Priestley of England. Scheele's laboratory notes show that he prepared oxygen in the early 1770's by heating various compounds, including saltpeter, and mercuric oxide. But Scheele's experiments were not published until 1777. Priestley also published his experiments in 1777. He described how he prepared oxygen by heating mercuric oxide.Scheele called oxygen "fire air." Priestley called it "dephlogisticated air." In 1777, the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier named the gas oxygen.
