Hello everyone, today i will talk about the expert that I admire in the field that im studying, Antoine Lavoisier, the father of modern chemistry. Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier was born in Paris, France, into a bourgeois family that provided a quality education and influenced by his parents entered the prestigious Collège Mazarin, where he studied Law. After completing his studies he was admitted to the Elite Lawyers order, however this activity did not interest the young lawyer, who began to pursue scientific research. In 1766 he received the Gold Medal of the Academy of Sciences of Paris for an essay in which he exhibited a method of public lighting for large populations. Two years later, in 1768, he presented a series of articles on analysis of water samples and was admitted to the Academy, of which he was director in 1785 and treasurer in 1791. In 1787 the "Méthode de nomenclature chimique" (Method of Chemical Nomenclature) was published, under the influence of Lavoisier's ideas, in which the elements and chemical compounds then known were classified and named. I liked because he think byself, when he study chemistry, in a law  that was not yet law in his time. The French chemist believed that matter was not created or destroyed, so he devoted himself to collecting and analyzing all the substances that intervene in the chemical reactions he studied and in his experiments he tried to show that this belief was a reality. And now, its actually a law in chemistry and in the highschool it is taught as the law of conservation of the mass or "the Lavoisier law" which is one of the bases of modern chemistry.
