Item — Box: 1, Object: 2006.501.071
Scope and Contents
Technisches Museum Wien, Vienna, Austria. Gasometer nach Lavoisier, made by J. N. Fortin, Paris, 1790. With a device similar to this, Lavoisier demonstrated that hydrogen and oxygen react to form water in the ratio of two volumes of hydrogen to one volume of oxygen. The obvious cost of devices such as these lead many to believe that chemical investigations could be performed only by the wealthy.
