Question

How did Lavoisier affect chemistry? (4 points)

a	He discovered that fire can destroy matter.
b	He identified the properties of gravity.
c	He found that matter can only be changed.
d	He learned that fire needed carbon to burn.

Answer 1

Lavoisier is called "The Father of Modern Chemistry." He established precision in measurements, created and used many new and more precise tools, had a female "lab assistant" (his wife), confirmed that oxygen is needed for things to burn, and discovered the Law of Conservation of Mass/Matter. The discovery of the law would imply that you can choose answer "c." The law states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction; it can only change forms.

Answer "a"...destroying matter, is not valid according to the Law of Conservation of Mass/Matter.

Answer "b"...Newton is known for his work with gravity.

Answer "d"...It would be correct if it said "oxygen."
