Lavoisier developed a new theory of combustion that overturned the phlogiston theory. What measurements were central to his theory, and what key discovery did he make?

Lavoiser proposed a theory in charge of writing the combustion correctly, denying the phlogiston.

Lavoiser said that combustion is carried out in a medium where there is oxygen, giving as a product water and carbon dioxide.

This combustion results in the decrease in the volume of the material that burns.

Furthermore lavoiser discovered the importance of oxygen in animal respiration.

Explanation:

Lavoisier argued that if or if the presence of oxygen must be present, it is an irreversible and spontaneous process.

2b2t

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
