 6. Which paragraph shows Lavoisier’s INTERPRETATION of his OBSERVATIONS. Give only the number of the paragraph.

  1. What conclusion did Lavoisier draw from his investigation? 

 

 

Lavoisier's Oxygen Theory of Burning (A Case Study) 1. Up to the 18th century people believed that substances which burned readily contained a sort of spirit, called phlogiston , which escaped into the air during burning. This belief, then called the phlogiston theory of burning, lasted for many years. Joseph Priestley, an English clergyman and amateur scientist, believed in it. In 1774, Priestley used a lens to focus the Sun's rays on mercuric oxide, a red powder. strange gas was formed. He continued experimenting with mercuric oxide, and collected the gas that evolved from it when heated strongly. He observe that a candle burned brightly in the presence of the unknown gas. He also felt wonderful and light when he inhaled some of the gas. Thus, he described it as perfect air or very active air. 3. Later, Priestley visited a friend, Antoine Lavoisier, a brilliant French chemist. He told Lavoisier his discovery. 4. Lavoisier pondered over Priestley's discovery for months. He wondered why the red powder gave off a gas when heated and how it got the gas in the first place. He asked himself. What really happens when a substance burns-does it give off something (phlogiston, according to the phlogiston theory of burning), or does it combine with something from the air? If something is given off, then it would mean a decrease in mass after burning. If something from the air combines with a substance during burning, then it would mean an increase in mass after burning. He suspected that the latter was probably the case. He tested his hypothesis. He reproduced Priestley's experiment under more carefully controlled conditions. 5. Lavoisier placed mercury in a glass vessel, and sealed it. He weighed the vessel and its contents, then applied heat to it. A red powder soon appeared inside the vessel. He weighed the vessel again, then compared the weight with that before heating. No change in mass was observed. This result is expected because the vessel was sealed. Nothing had entered or escaped from it during the heating. 6. When Lavoisier broke the glass seal, air rushed into the vessel. This phenomenon indicat- ed that some of the air in the vessel must have been used up during the heating process and left space for more air to enter. Lavoisier assumed that part of the air in the vessel must have combined with mercury to form the red powder. 7. Lavoisier, however, did not jump into any conclusion. He wanted more proofs. He contin- ued the investigation but, this time, he reversed the experiment. He put mercuric oxide in a vessel and heated it to a high temperature. He found that (a) the red powder was changed back tomercury, and (b) a gas was released in the process. This gas was exactly the same gas which Priestley observed. Lavoisier finally concluded that the gas, which he called oxygen, combines with combustible materials when they burn. This process is called oxygen theory of burning, which is now the accepted explanation for burning. 2.
