Lavoisier's researches included some of the first truly quantitative chemical experiments.

Lavoisier's fundamental contributions to chemistry were a result of a conscious effort to fit all experiments into the framework of a single theory.

Other experiments where Lavoisier's law is apparently violated are more suggestive, but given the assertion that these experiments must be performed on living subjects, the creation of an experiment that could give definitive proof of such a violation is exceptionally difficult.

The person celebrated as the " father of modern chemistry " is Antoine Lavoisier ( 1743 – 1794 ) who developed his law of Conservation of mass in 1789, also called Lavoisier's Law.

* Antoine Lavoisier's Traité élémentaire de chimie presents a unified view of new theories of chemistry, containing a clear statement of the law of conservation of mass, defining the nature of elements and denying the existence of phlogiston.

Lavoisier's explanation of combustion disproved the phlogiston theory, which postulated that materials released a substance called phlogiston when they burned.

Since Lavoisier's knowledge of strong acids was mainly restricted to oxoacids, such as ( nitric acid ) and ( sulphuric acid ), which tend to contain central atoms in high oxidation states surrounded by oxygen, and since he was not aware of the true composition of the hydrohalic acids ( HF, HCl, HBr, and HI ), he defined acids in terms of their containing oxygen, which in fact he named from Greek words meaning " acid-former " ( from the Greek οξυς ( oxys ) meaning " acid " or " sharp " and γεινομαι ( geinomai ) meaning " engender ").

The balance that he used, made by a craftsman named Harrison, was the first of the precision balances of the 18th century, and as accurate as Lavoisier's ( which has been estimated to measure one part in 400, 000 ).

In addition, the show has had both of Fath's parents and Lavoisier's mother on air ; Fath's father asks her why she's still with him and Lavoisier's mother dislikes Fath, which provides tension for the show to exploit.

While many leading chemists of the time refused to accept Lavoisier's new ideas, demand for Traité élémentaire as a textbook in Edinburgh was sufficient to merit translation into English within about a year of its French publication.

It was originally adopted by Antoine Lavoisier's group in 1795, and introduced into the metric system in France with its establishment in 1799.

Indeed, Dalton's innovation was fully as important for the future of the science as Antoine Laurent Lavoisier's oxygen-based chemistry had been.

Cole, Accum's biographer states that this book, System of Theoretical and Practical Chemistry, " was the first text-book of general chemistry written in the English language to be based on Lavoisier's new principles ; it is outstanding, also, in that it is written in a popular style, the subject matter being graduated as with a modern text-book.

While many leading chemists of the time refused to believe Lavoisier's new revelations, the Elementary Treatise was written well enough to convince the younger generation.

He was attracted to chemistry by Lavoisier's discoveries, but he never became as great.

Lavoisier's Traité élémentaire de chimie ( Elementary Treatise on Chemistry, 1789, translated into English by Scotsman Robert Kerr ) is considered to be the first modern chemistry textbook.

* Phlogiston theory – replaced by Lavoisier's work on oxidation

* Caloric theory – Lavoisier's successor to phlogiston, discredited by Rumford's and Joule's work

Named after Nicolas Vauquelin ( 1763 – 1829 ), one of Lavoisier's teachers.

Lavoisier's prestige and the practical success of Sadi Carnot's caloric theory of the heat engine since 1824 ensured that the young Joule, working outside either academia or the engineering profession, had a difficult road ahead.

Irrespective of historical influence, however, The Wealth of Nations represented a clear shift in the field of economics, similar to Sir Isaac Newton's Principia Mathematica for physics, Antoine Lavoisier's Traité élémentaire de chimie for chemistry, or Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species for biology.

Lavoisier's devotion and passion for chemistry were largely influenced by Étienne Condillac, a prominent French scholar of the 18th century.

Antoine Lavoisier's famous phlogiston experiment.

But Priestley refused to believe Lavoisier's results before his death.

This text clarified the concept of an element as a substance that could not be broken down by any known method of chemical analysis, and presented Lavoisier's theory of the formation of chemical compounds from elements.

Lavoisier's name for nitrogen is used in many languages ( French, Polish, Russian, etc.

He also objected to Lavoisier's identification of heat as having a material or elementary basis.

At Lavoisier's house, four normal cups of water were held before a " sensitive " woman ; the fourth produced convulsions, but she calmly swallowed the mesmerized contents of a fifth, believing it to be plain water.

By his conduct as a member of the Convention, Fourcroy has been accused of contributing to Lavoisier's death.

* 1783-In Lavoisier's book Reflexions sur le phlogistique, he deprecates the phlogiston theory and proposes a caloric theory.

Driven by great demand, and made possible through Lavoisier's theoretical work regarding the role of oxygen in combustion, the end of the 18th century saw a continuous series of improvements in lighting technology.

Galen conducted many nerve ligation experiments that supported the theory, which is still accepted today, that the brain controls all the motions of the muscles by means of the cranial and peripheral nervous systems.

Although he rejected the transcendental / metaphysical interpretation given to these phenomena outright, Braid accepted that these accounts of Oriental practices supported his view that the effects of hypnotism could be produced in solitude, without the presence of any other person ( as he had already proved to his own satisfaction with the experiments he had conducted in November 1841 ); and he saw correlations between many of the " metaphysical " Oriental practices and his own " rational " neuro-hypnotism, and totally rejected all of the fluid theories and magnetic practices of the mesmerists.

The Viking program, that visited Mars in the late 1970s, was motivated in part to determine whether Mars supported life, and many of the sensors and experiments that were ultimately deployed aimed to resolve this issue.

His experiments supported the germ theory of disease.

The neuron doctrine was supported by experiments following Luigi Galvani's pioneering work in the electrical excitability of muscles and neurons.

Subsequent experiments and observations have supported the initial evolutionary explanation of the phenomenon.

Despite this, Huxley strongly supported Darwin on evolution ; though he called for experiments to show whether natural selection could form new species, and questioned if Darwin's gradualism was sufficient without sudden leaps to cause speciation.

It was supported by Einstein, confirmed by the electron diffraction experiments of Davisson and Germer, and generalized by the work of Schrödinger.

This effect, known as " disconfirmation bias ", has been supported by other experiments.

Since 1979, Passive Solar Building Design has been a critical element of achieving zero energy by educational institution experiments, and governments around the world, including the U. S. Department of Energy, and the energy research scientists that they have supported for decades.

# are strongly supported by empirical evidence-they are scientific knowledge that experiments have repeatedly verified ( and never falsified ).

Louis Pasteur, shortly after his famous rebuttal of spontaneous generation, performed several experiments that he felt supported the vital concepts of life.

He took a continuing interest in the social experiments of Robert Owen, voted for Catholic emancipation and supported literary, Bible and anti-slavery societies.

In experiment four Sedikides suggests that the reason past experiments have not supported self-assessment is because participants reflect more on the central traits than peripheral traits, which are generally ones that are assessed so as to be able to improve at the same time as not harming the self-concept too much.

The Gaia Hypothesis has since been supported by a number of scientific experiments and provided a number of useful predictions.

Although there is little publicly available data from the Halite-Centurion series, the results, augmented by experiments on the Nova laser, supported detailed simulations that ignition and net energy gains could be achieved with a few MJ, or energies close to those originally proposed by Nuckolls.
