|
|
|
(1773-05-04): Lavoisier attempts to heat charcoal and vitriolic acid with burning glass. Also phosphorous under a layer of alcohol
|
|
|
(1773-05-05): Opening in presence of the Académie of the sealed note of the previous November. "J'ai ouver en présence de l'Académie le dépot No. 153 fait par M. Lavoisier le 2 Nbre 1772 et j'ai paraphé son écrit pour lui conserver la date."

|
|
(1773-05-06): Quantitative experiment, dissolution of iron by nitric acid
|
|
|
(1773-05-07): Apparatus for preparation and manipulation of carbon dioxide. Evidently testing Bucquet's experiments for latter's name is mentioned
|
|
|
(1773-05-10): More work on fixed air. Expresses confusion at difference between air fixed in alkalis and in metals. Mention of limewater test.
|
|
|
(1773-05-10) (1773-05-20): Experiments on fixed air and volatile alkalis, on lime (chaux) etc.
|
|
|
(1773-05-13): Desiccation of nitre and chalk "eguilles" du nitre. Does chalk calcined at low temperature tak up fixed air)
|
|
|
(1773-05-16): Fragmentary experiments on fermentations pursued through July. Collection of gas given off. Experiments and wheat flour and on wine, records gas absorbed.
|
|
|
(1773-05-22): Detonation of nitre and sulphur, air produced extinguishes flame
|
|
|
(1773-05-23) (1773-05-24): Reduction of minium by carbon (charcoal). Study of gas produced
|
|
|
(1773-05-27): Ammonia produced by reaction with lime. Also experiment on fluminating gold
|
|
|
(1773-06-04) (1773-06-19): Experiment to determine whether lime gives something to soda as Meyer believes, or removes something from it according to the English thesis. Reaction of dried, slaked lime on sodium carbonate
|
|
|
(1773-06-12): Lavoisier reports on Bucquet's memoir on fixed air, discussing work of Black and Priestley. Lavoisier uses here the same quotation from Stahl encountered in the Opuscules.
P-V-, 1773, 133-136
|
|
|
(1773-06-19): Instruments submitted by Magellan to the Académie.
P-V, 1773, 139b
|
|
|
(1773-06-19): Experiment on the air produced by dissolving chalk in nitric acid. Incorrectly concludes its density same as that of common air.
|
|
|
(1773-06-22): Letter of Franklin to Le Roy in reply to a lost letter of Le Roy describing Lavoisier's experiment. Franklin writes: "I should like to hear how M. Lavoisier's doctrine supports itself, as I suppose it will be controverted."
|
|
|
(1773-06-27): Combustion of phosphorus under a "cloche à eau". On July 1 he examines this air which does not seem to contain carbon dioxide.
|
|
|
(1773-06-28): Combustion of minium by charcoal. Performs a metallic reduction for M. de Trudaine (obviously of minium and charcoal).
|
|
|
(1773-06-30): Combustion of phosphorous over mercury with a burning glass.
"Il aurait été bien inéressant de rassembler cet acide dans cet état pour le peser et avoir l'augmentation du poids pour voir si elle était proportionelle à l'absorption." Difficu
|
|
|
(1773-06-30): Experiments on lime (chaux) and fixed air
|
|
|
(1773-07-01): Air in which he burned phosphorous on June 27 extinguishes a candle, does not asphyxiate a bird, does not make lime water turbid. The error on bird passed into published Opuscules.
|
|
|
(1773-07-01) (1773-07-03): Experiments on sodium carbonate and air given off.
|
|
|
(1773-07-03): At the Académie: "M. Lavoisier a continué sa lecture." Concerns the second part of the Opuscules. The reading continues the 17 and 31 July.
P-V, 1773, 145.
|
|
|
(1773-07-14): Dissolution of mercury by nitric acid, then precipitation by chalk (craie), lime (chaux), sodium carbonate and hydroxide (soude, carbonate et alcali); then the same experiment carried out on a solution of iron in nitric acid
