   1786 
(1786-01) (1786-03): Decomposition of water by charcoal.
(1786-02-23): Research on electrical phenomena. Notion that electricity is a slow combustion, electrical effects resulting from decomposition of air. Uses an electrical machine in a vacum chamber, constructed by Fortin, to examine effects in vacuum and in
(1786-04-03): Determination of the density of nitrogen. Followed by notes on similar determination for atmospheric air (1 March 1764, March and April 1785) and for oxygen (27 July 1785).
(1786-06-22): Experiments on the formation of nitric acid. Continuation of the experiments of October 1785; brings oxygen and nitrous air into contact in an "eudiomètre hydrostatique."
(1786-08-06) (1786-09-15): Study of the germination of garden gress seeds under vacuum, in oxygen and in nitrogen. Examination of gases liberated.
(1786-09-16): Experiments on alcoholic fermentation. Addition of barm (levure de bière) to a sugar solution; the fixed air evolved in absorbed by solution of alkali. Similar experiments the 27 April and 5 June 1787.
(1786-09-20) (1786-09-29): At the Arsenal: experiments on a new combustible proposed by M. le Prieur du Temple are carried out by members of the committee on agriculture, the Régisseurs de poudres and representatives of the Académie.
(1786-09-27): Heat of combustion of spirit of wine.
(1786-11-09): Gold dissolved in aqua regia; weights and measures. Continued February 20, 1787.
