Acids, bases and salts are three main categories of chemical compounds. These have certain definite properties that distinguish one class from the other. Scientists like Lavoisier and Davy studied acids and bases in a scientific manner. Initially, Lavoisier believed oxygen..

Daniel Rutherford, a Scottish Physician, discovered nitrogen in 1772. But it was Lavoisier, who proved that nitrogen is an element and that it was not a supporter of combustion and respiration. He called it 'azote' meaning 'no life'. The name 'Nitrogen' was given to it by Jean Antoine Cha..

Johann Glauber (1604-1668) prepared nitric acid by heating nitre with concentrated sulphuric acid and then condensing the vapour. While Henry Cavendish determined the composition of nitric acid, Lavoisier proved that oxygen is present in nitric aci..

A.L.Lavoisier and P.S.Laplace gave this law in 1780 which states that 'the enthalpy of a reaction is exactly equal but opposite in sign for the reverse reaction..

Stated by French chemist A. Lavoisier "During any physical or chemical change, the total mass of the products remains equal to the total mass of the reactants". Law of conservation is also known as 'Law of indestructibility of matter..

Sulphur dioxide has been known to people for ages. Sulphur used to be burnt to produce sulphur dioxide, which was then used as a fungicide and insecticide. Priestley prepared sulphur dioxide in the year 1774 by heating concentrated sulphuric acid with mercury and called it "Vitriolic acid air..

Laws of Chemical Combination With the development of more scientific ideas on elements, compounds and mixtures, people began to probe into how and why substances react. French chemist A. Lavoisier laid the foundation to the scientific investigation of matter by describing that substan..
