   1785 
(1785-01) (1785-02-12): Further preparation for the large scale experiment on decomposition and recomposition of water. Tests and calibration of of the gasometers.
(1785-02-27) (1785-02-28): Decomposition of water: beginning of the great experiment performed before the Académie's commission. Quantitative data on water decomposed and gases formed. Followed by recomposition of the gases in a weighed flask.Second exper
(1785-03-01): Series of experiments on the recomposition of water. Weighing of water formed and of the desiccating tube through which the gases pass. Examination of unreacted gases in the chamber.
(1785-03-07): Chemical tests and calculations relating to the experiments of February 27-28.
(1785-04-29): Preparation of oxygen. Action of sulphuric acid on manganese, and continued heating to decompose the sulphate. Repeated the 9, 14 and 16 May.
(1785-05-07): Combustion of spirit of wine and of olive oil to determine their compositions. Data for spirit of wine are recalculated on July 5, 1788.
(1785-05-18): Combustion of sulphur. Most of the these combustion experiments were described in the Mémoire sur la combinaison du principe oxygène avec l'espirt de vin.
(1785-05-30) (1785-06-10): Experiments on alcoholic fermentation.
(1785-10-19) (1785-10-20): Experiments on the formation of nitric acid. Passes oxygen and nitrous air through separate tubes into flask containing water.
(1785-12-25): Study of heat of combustion of olive oil.
