This person experimented with Pierre-Simon Laplace [luh-PLAHSS] on specific heats; they found   that animals and flames received the same amount of energy from given compounds. This person  also repeated Cavendish's and Priestley's air experiments, naming hydrogen and using the term   "azote" [AY-zote] to refer to nitrogen. He included light and caloric in his list of elements, which  appeared in a textbook that included his statement of the law of mass conservation. Name this  scientist, guillotined during the French Revolution, who disproved phlogiston [fluh-JISS-tun] theory  and became known as the Father of Modern Chemistry.
