Antoine Lavoisier's Life (26 ago 1743 ano – 8 maio 1794 ano)

Descrição:

The assertion that mass is conserved in chemical reactions was an assumption of scientists rather than a discovery. Lavoisier believed that matter was neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions, and in his experiments he sought to demonstrate that this belief was not violated. But he had difficulty proving that his view was universally valid. His insistence that chemists accepted this assumption as a law was part of his larger program for raising chemistry to the investigative standards and causal explanation found in contemporary experimental physics
