Antoine+Lavoisier+-+Josh+and+Karan

Antoine Lavoisier was best known as the father modern chemistry the reason why he is famous because he was the first person to perform experiments in order to get results and to be sure they are are acurate. He performed an experiment where he proved the theory of phlogiston wrong!! OMG!! The original theory was that when something is burned the end product has lost phlogiston which made it weigh less. He performed an experiment which proved it wrong. He showed that when something is burned it only changes into something else. Antoine Lavoiser proved this by weighing somthing and then burning it in a container which held all the fumes and proved it still had the same weight. After this the term phlogiston has never been used again. OMG!!
