how did lavoisier transform the field of chemistry in the late 1700s?

my lavoisier transformed the field of chemistry in the late 1700s by turning it into a science of measurement rather than a science of observation.

is there any other information i need to add to this?

He proposed the Law of Conservation of Matter, being the first to say that matter can not be created nor destroyed.

Important discoveries from  Lavoisier who changed the field of chemistry in the late 1700s

1. periodic system2. the discovery of oxygen3. the law of conservation of mass4. the importance of weighingFurther explanation

There are several important discoveries from Antoine Laurent Lavoisier who changed the field of chemistry in the late 1700s

The findings include:

1. he discovered the naming of the chemical periodic system for the first time on which the naming of the modern periodic system was based2. He put forward the term "oxygen" and stated that air consists of two components namely nitrogen and oxygen.And oxygen is what plays an important role in the combustion process of a substance3. He stated the law of conservation of mass.

Experiments carried out by reacting oxygen and mercury in a closed system and produce mercury oxide

And if it is heated it will again produce the same amount of oxygen and mercury

From this experiment, he stated the law that:

In a closed system, the total mass of the substance before the reaction will be equal to the total mass of the reaction product.

4. Lavoisier's precision in the importance of the weighing process in chemical reactions causes an important basis in the calculation of chemistry for the progress of research in the futureLearn more
