Question

contributios of ANTOINE LAVOISIER in CHEMISRY except THE LAW OF CHEMICAL COMBINATION.

Answer 1

Antoine Lavoisier is known as the "Father of Modern Chemistry".
He recognised and named oxygen and hydrogen and discovered that water is made up of these two. He also discovered that oxygen plays a role in combustion of materials. He predicted the existence of silicon and was the first to establish that sulphur is an element rather than a compound. He also concluded that respiration was a slow combustion process that supposedly takes place in lungs. He did experiments with breathing and showed that we breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.
