(1777-01-27): Experiments on animal respiration carried out with Bucquet. A guinea pig placed under a bell jar filled with oxygen died after two hours and twenty five minutes.
|
|
|
(1777-04): Experiment on the combustion of candles to verify that the air diminishes in volume through the formation and solution of carbon dioxide.

|
|
|
(1777-09): Lavoisier and Bucquet carry out the combustion of hydrogen (from sulphuric acid and iron) in an open bottle in the presence of limewater; they find that carbon dioxide is not formed.
|
|

| |
1780 |
|
|
(1780): Lavoisier begins his study on calorimetry with a newly designed apparatus
|
|
|
(1780-03-03): Action of nitric acid on phosphrous. Study of gas produced.
|
| |
1781 |
|

(1781-06): Experiments of Lavoisier, Laplace and Gaux on the construction of barometer with flat surface and on the expansion of mercury.
|
|
|
(1781-10-10): Study on fermentation of sugar. Liberation of gas.
|
|
|
(1781-11-16): Study of vaporisation of ether. The vaporisation is carried out over heated mercury; the drop in temperature of mercury is measured.

|
|
(1781-12): Solution of iron in nitric acid. Collects the nitrous air, precipitates the iron; crystallisation of salpêtre.
|
|
|
