Lavoisier making water
Lavoisier making water. Historical artwork of the French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743- 1794) conducting his 1783 experiment on water. The two cylinders (grey, right and left) hold oxygen and hydrogen. The static electricity generator at lower right supplies the energy for producing the sparks in the spherical glass reaction vessel (the flask at centre). The oxygen and hydrogen gases are piped into the flask and the spark causes the hydrogen to burn in the oxygen (combustion). The product of the reaction is water, proving water to be a compound of hydrogen and oxygen. Lavoisier is considered the founder of modern chemistry. From Physique Populaire (E. Desbeaux, 1891)

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating historical artwork titled "Lavoisier making water" takes us back to the 18th century, showcasing the groundbreaking experiment conducted by Antoine Laurent Lavoisier. This colored illustration from 1891 depicts the French chemist in his laboratory, surrounded by equipment and immersed in his scientific endeavor. In this momentous scene, Lavoisier is seen observing a spherical glass reaction vessel at the center of attention. The two cylinders on either side contain oxygen and hydrogen gases respectively. A static electricity generator positioned at the lower right corner provides the necessary energy for producing sparks within the flask. As we delve into Lavoisier's experiment, we witness an extraordinary chemical reaction taking place before our eyes. The spark ignites a combustion process where hydrogen burns fiercely in oxygen. This transformative event leads to an astonishing discovery - water is synthesized as a result of this reaction, proving it to be a compound consisting of hydrogen and oxygen. Antoine Laurent Lavoisier holds immense significance in modern chemistry as its founder. His pioneering work revolutionized our understanding of chemical reactions and laid down fundamental principles that continue to shape scientific knowledge today. This remarkable artwork not only captures a pivotal moment in history but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and relentless pursuit of knowledge. It stands as a tribute to Lavoisier's invaluable contributions that have shaped our understanding of chemistry for centuries to come.
