Fourth Annual Graduate Symposium

چکیده
Alchemists, who sought to understand and manipulate the transformations material substances underwent, were challenged in the eighteenth century by attempt to define a rational approach to chemistry. Part of the motivation was to dissociate the emerging investigative techniques of chemical experimentation from the craft tradition associated with alchemical practice. In the 1780s a number of investigators in Britain, Germany, and France were conducting experiments to identify the properties of new “airs” (gases) and to explore the different ways chemical substances interacted. Of special significance among these experimenters was Joseph Priestley in England, who developed the phlogiston theory of combustion to its zenith in the late eighteenth century. Priestley’s discovery of the gas later called oxygen set in process a series of events that led to the creation of a new explanation of combustion by Antoine Lavoisier in Paris. The new French approach claimed to base itself on a principle of the conservation of matter, thereby stressing the role of weighing reagents before and after a chemical reaction.
