Antoine Lavoisier

The Atomic Theory The Atomic theory is just another law or principle of science, its the very foundation of all that science includes! The laws and principles of science were able to be tested because of this theory! We are going over everything about the atomic theory including its beginning, the history of the atomic theory, and why it is so important in the first place. We will also go over the many models produced by scientists over the years and why they were right or wrong and then…

Antoine Lavoisier, a French scientist in the 1700’s, made the jump from qualitative to quantitative observations. He began to use the balance and the power of math rather than what can be seen by the naked eye. This paved the way for future scientists to predict…

The Atomic Theory The atomic theory serves as the basic foundation for the study of matter; it is of major importance to the study of Chemistry. The atomic theory has an interesting and lengthy history that shall be discussed. Furthermore, it has been perfected and discussed by many chemists over a number of years; all of their brilliant minds put together into one. There have been drastic changes to the atomic structure in modern times, proving we still do not know everything. Technology…

Historical explanations and scientific explanations are very different and similar. A historical explanation is an account of an event or events in history and it can reveal when the event takes place, how it takes place and the events that prompted that particular event to take place. A scientific explanation is a theory that reveals the reason why phenomena occur in the natural world. Although historical and scientific explanations are acquired through different means, knowledge in History and…

water. The matter of the world is made from a few fundamental building blocks of nature. He thought that it didn’t matter how many times you wanted to cut a form of matter in half, because you would always get a smaller piece of that matter. Antoine Lavoisier then proposed the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states the atoms of an object cannot…

the current periodic tables are all arranged the same way or very closely.[Source F] This is to avoid confusion and to have the most accurate results when examining the periodic table. Most are divided into metals, non-metals, and metalloids. Antoine Lavoisier had published his idea on how things were categorized. He categorized them into four categories based on their chemical properties, gases, nonmetals, metals, and earths. This was very close to what it is today. Group 1 is referred to…

Determining the Chemical Formula of Hydrated Copper (Ⅱ) Sulfate Using the Empirical Formula Introduction In this experiment, the molecular formula of hydrated Copper (Ⅱ) Sulfate will be determined. In order to determine the molecular formula, the empirical formula is needed which is the ratio of moles of one substance to another. In this experiment, it is the ratio of Copper (Ⅱ) Sulfate to water. CuSO₄・XH₂O The empirical formula can be determined if the moles of the compared substances…

Among many different early scientists, Antoine Lavoisier was one of the most influential. He discovered that the mass of a substance is maintained in a chemical reaction. The total mass of the products of a chemical reaction is always the same as the total mass of the starting materials consumed in…

The atomic theory has revolutionized the field of science. The ideas behind it began in the times of Ancient Greece. From there the ideas were put under trial, proven, disproven, and formed into what we now recognize as the atomic theory. Since the beginning of time, people believed that matter was made from a few fundamental building blocks. In ancient times, these fundamental elements were thought of as water, fire, earth, and air. Around 400 BCE, Democritus and Leucippus developed a…

Skylar Windholz Intro to Geography March 25, 2018 Book Review An Ocean of Air An Ocean of Air, written by Gabrielle Walker, mainly discusses the “Ocean of Air” that lives all around us, in which this ocean of air allows us to live. Nevertheless, it can do much more than that. Walker takes readers on a journey in only seven chapters with topics such as climate change, oxygen, the effects of chlorofluorocarbons, carbon dioxide, the ionosphere, and many more. The author also provides detailed…
