It was not until 18th century when Lavoisier and Priestley did a comprehensive work on properties of gases, their exchange and respiration that we came to know something about how the process of gaseous exchange goes on, in our body.
- Lavoisier also carried out several experiments to understand the property of gases
- it is clear that Lavoisier thought that the gas liberated on heating powdered charcoal in a belljar kept over water in a trough was like fixed air
- In those days carbon dioxide was known as fixed air.
- The next series of experiments dealt with the combustion of phosphorus in a belljar.
- Lavoisier showed that whatever in the atmospheric air which combined with the phosphorus, was not water vapor
- Final statement that the substance which combines with thephosphorus is “either air itself, or another elastic fluid present, in a certain proportion, in the air which we breathe”
- This was the respirable air, a component of air that also helped in burning
