  2. Conservation of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_mass

    The concept of mass conservation is widely used in many fields such as chemistry, mechanics, and fluid dynamics. Historically, mass conservation in chemical reactions was primarily demonstrated in the 17th century [2] and finally confirmed by Antoine Lavoisier in the late 18th century.

  3. Traité Élémentaire de Chimie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traité_Élémentaire_de...

    The law of conservation of mass, which in France is taught as Lavoisier's Law, is paraphrased in the phrase "Rien ne se perd, rien ne se crée, tout se transforme." ("Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed.")

  4. Chemical revolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_revolution

    Earlier references of the law of conservation of mass and its use were made by Jean Rey in 1630. [13] Although the law of conservation of mass was not explicitly discovered by Lavoisier, his work with a wider array of materials than what most scientists had available at the time allowed his work to greatly expand the boundaries of the principle ...

  5. Antoine Lavoisier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_Lavoisier

    Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier (/ l ə ˈ v w ɑː z i eɪ / lə-VWAH-zee-ay; [1] [2] [3] French: [ɑ̃twan lɔʁɑ̃ də lavwazje]; 26 August 1743 – 8 May 1794), [4] also Antoine Lavoisier after the French Revolution, was a French nobleman and chemist who was central to the 18th-century chemical revolution and who had a large influence on both the history of chemistry and the history of biology.

  6. Phlogiston theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phlogiston_theory

    The use of closed vessels by Lavoisier and earlier by the Russian scientist Mikhail Lomonosov also negated the buoyancy that had disguised the weight of the gases of combustion, and culminated in the principle of mass conservation. These observations solved the mass paradox and set the stage for the new oxygen theory of combustion. [20]

  7. History of chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_chemistry

    Lavoisier's Traité Élémentaire de Chimie (Elementary Treatise of Chemistry, 1789) was the first modern chemical textbook, and presented a unified view of new theories of chemistry, contained a clear statement of the Law of Conservation of Mass, and denied the existence of phlogiston.

  9. History of experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_experiments

    Lavoisier was the first to conclude by experiment that the Law of Conservation of Mass applied to chemical change. [21] His hypothesis was that the mass of the reactants would be the same as the mass of the products in a chemical reaction. He experimented on vinous fermentation, determining the amounts of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon in sugar.
