Antoine lavoisier

• Share • Pin “In nature, nothing is created, nothing is lost, everything changes.” this is a famous quote made by Antoine Lavoisier. He was a French nobleman and a prominent chemist, who revolutionized chemistry and the history of biology as we know it today. Antoine Lavoisier was born in Paris, France on August 26, 1793, to a wealthy family of nobility. His parents were Emilie Punctis and Jean Antonie Lavoisier, an attorney at the Parlement of Paris. He is most famous for his discovery of the roleoxygenplays incombustion. Here are the top 10 unbelievable facts about him. 1. Antoine Lavoisier Inherited a huge Fortune at the age of 5 Image Source: Antonie Lavoisier was born and raised in an affluent family of nobles in Paris. His father was a prominent lawyer in Paris, while his mother was a rich woman who brought a substantial amount of money as her wedding dowry. His mother died when he was only five years old, and she left a huge fortune for him as an inheritance. He was raised by his aunt Constance Punctis, who secured him the best schools in Paris at that time. 2. Antoine Lavoisier Graduated with a Law Degree It is interesting to note that the most prominent chemical scientist in the History of France, actually studied law in college. Lavoisier began his schooling at theCollège des Quatre-Nations, the University of Paris(also known as the Collège Mazarin) in Paris in 1754 at the age of 11.

Purchased in 1962 through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas H. Noyes and Mr. and Mrs. Spencer T. Olin, the Lavoisier Collection is the largest collection outside of France on chemist Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794), commonly considered to be the founder of modern chemistry. Consisting of nearly 2,000 volumes, and 31 linear feet of manuscript and graphic materials, the collection provides insight into a crucial moment in both the history of science and the history of France, for Lavoisier was both a major scientist and an important government administrator who served during the French Revolution and ultimately fell victim to the Reign of Terror. The collection documents all aspects of Lavoisier’s career, most notably his crucial work in areas such as the discovery of oxygen and the development of modern chemical nomenclature. Included among the manuscripts are laboratory notes from his dramatic experiments on the decomposition and recomposition of water, which helped to demonstrate the existence of oxygen and its role in chemical reactions. Also documented are his involvement in France’s Academy of Sciences and his correspondence with other scientists of the day, including Baumé, Berthollet, Chaptal, Fourcroy, Lagrange, Monge, and Joseph Black. Included are Lavoisier’s own copy of the first edition of his Traité élémentaire de chimie (1789), as well as multiple drafts of the plates drawn and engraved for this seminal work by Lavoisier’s wife, Marie-Anne-Pierrett...

Antoine Laurent Lavoisier The French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794) was the founder of the modern science of chemistry and the author of the oxygen theory of combustion. Antoine Laurent Lavoisier was born in Paris on Aug. 26, 1743, the son of an attorney at the Parlement of Paris. Lavoisier began his schooling at the Collège Mazarin in Paris at the age of 11. In his last two years (1760-1761) at the college his scientific interests were aroused. In the philosophy class he came under the tutelage of Abbé Nicolas Louis de Lacaille, a distinguished mathematician and observational astronomer who imbued the young Lavoisier with an interest in meteorological observation, an enthusiasm which never left him. Lavoisier entered the school of law, where he received a bachelor's degree in 1763 and a licentiate in 1764. However, he continued his scientific education in his spare time. In 1764 he read his first paper to the In 1768 Lavoisier received a provisional appointment to the Academy of Sciences. About the same time he bought a share in the Tax Farm, a financial company which advanced the estimated tax revenue to the royal government in return for the right to collect the taxes. It was to prove a fateful step. Lavoisier consolidated his social and economic position when, in 1771, he married Marie Anne Pierrette Paulze, the 14-year-old daughter of a senior member of the Tax Farm. She was to play an important part in Lavoisier's scientific career, translating Engli...
