Daily 40 no. 7 – Robert Boyle

Daily 40 Hall of Fame! Congratulations to these writers! Robert Boyle was an Irish chemist who lived from 1627-1691. He believed that everything was made of a universal matter. Boyle invented the vacuum pump and the acid/base test. He discovered that metals gain weight from heat, and he realized that a gas’s volume is inversely proportional to its pressure. --Isaac

Robert Boyle was a 17th century Irish inventor, physicist, natural philosopher, and chemist with a base in alchemy. Influenced by the Atomists, he believed in universal matter, primary concretions, and transmutation. He developed the vacuum and identified the natural law that air pressure is inversely proportional to volume. --Victoria

Robert Boyle was an Irish chemist who lived from 1627-1691. He had believed in transmutation of metals because he thought that all atoms were the same, just different size and shape. He also developed the idea that pressure and volume are inversely related, called Boyle's Law. --Tatiana

Robert Boyle was born in Ireland in 1627 and died in 1691. He is most famous for Boyles law and created the idea of “universal matter” where atoms bonded together to create different substances but didn't see that only certain atoms created certain substances. --Alanna

Robert Boyle was born January 25, 1627 in Lismore, Ireland. He distinguished between mixtures and compounds and used a process he called "analysis" to detect their ingredients. Boyle rediscovered the works of the atomists and disagreed with Aristotle's elements. He is best known for formulating Boyle's law. --Andrew

17th-century Irish alchemist, chemist, and natural philosopher Robert Boyle most notably found the pressure and volume of gases to be inversely proportional. He believed that everything was made out of the same type of particles arranged in different ways (a concept he called “universal-matter”) and that transmutation was possible. --Chantal

The chemist Robert Boyle lived from 1627-1691 in Ireland. Disagreeing with Aristotle’s elements, he affirmed that everything was made of the same atoms, calling them “universal matter.” Boyle focused more on gases; Boyle’s Law states that the amount of air pressure on a gas is inversely proportional to the volume. --Christine

Robert Boyle, born 1627 in Ireland , was a chemist (considered the founder of modern chemistry) and an alchemist who contributed to modern science by demonstrating the significance of air in combustion, respiration, and sound transmission, distinguished mixtures from compounds, advocated scientific experimentation, and supported the existence of a vacuum. --Dawy

Robert Boyle (1627-1691) accepted the idea of atomism and believed that everything was made out of the same atoms with different shape and size. He considered atoms are elements. He also discovered the way of using purple juice of violet to test for acids and bases. --Dee Dee

Robert Boyle (1627-1691) born in Ireland was one of the many people disagreed with Aristotle about the 4 elements. By developing the characteristics of gases and proposing an atomic theory, where he formulated the first definition of an element and conducted many experiments he influenced alchemy and chemistry. --Denise

Daily 40 no. 7 – Robert Boyle

Robert Boyle was an Irish alchemist living from 1627 to 1691. He agreed with the atomists that matter was made of tiny atoms. Boyle also classified acids and bases using violet juice. Influenced by Galileo, Boyle found out that air was important in combustion, sound transmission, and respiration. --Eric

Robert Boyle was a philosopher and scientists who rediscovered the atomists’ theories. He, like the atomists, believed that everything was composed of tiny, indestructible particles. However, he believed that all atoms were exactly the same but were put together differently to make different materials. --Eyad

Robert Boyle was the last of fourteen children born in Cork, Ireland. He assembled what we would today call a "research group", developed a key tool- the vacuum pump, was the first to use the term "chemical analysis", and is remembered by the gas law, Boyle's Law. --Gennelle

Robert Boyle(1627-1691) was born in County Cork, Ireland. He was an atomist and an alchemist. He stated that matter is made of the same particles that are arranged in different positions, which supported the idea of transmutation. He discovered Boyle’s Law, which states that pressure and volume are inversely proportionate. --Jaya

Robert Boyle (1627 - 1691), often regarded as the first modern chemist, was an Irish physicist, chemist, and scientist famous for his gas law, Boyle's Law. He often worked with a vacuum pump. With it, he discovered that air is required for sound transmission, respiration, and combustion. --Jeff

Robert Boyle was the first to ignite sulfur-tipped wood which later became our modern matches. He was also one of the first to experiment with phosphorus and document his findings although he did not discover it. He developed a natural pH indicator by using extracted juices of a violet. --Julia

Robert Boyle (1627-1691) was born in Cork Ireland . He believed that elements are made from a universal atom. When put in a specific order it makes an element. He also discovered that air plays a major part for combustion, respiration, and sound transmission. --Karen

Robert Boyle was one of the first chemists to study air. He resurrected the ideas of the early atomists from 1627-1691 in Ireland. He invented the vacuum pump to study the properties of air, and also learned how to use natural indicators (like violet-juice) to understand acids and bases. --Katy

Robert Boyle made many contribution to chemistry through his work with gases, realizing the necessity of air for respiration and combustion and creating “Boyle’s Law” which states that volume is inversely proportional to pressure. Although an alchemist, he is sometimes considered the first modern chemist because of his experimental approach. --Madeline

Irish alchemist, chemist, and natural philosopher Robert Boyle is known for his studies of gases, in particular, oxygen and its properties and the Boyles law that measured air pressure and volume. Boyle was also known for his concept of universal matter, claiming that everything was made from one atom. -- Tokunbo

Robert Boyle was born in Cork, Ireland, and lived from 1627-1691. He recognized that air is necessary in combustion, respiration, and sound transmission. Boyle believed in atoms, but he thought that everything was made of the same atoms, and that different substances simply had atoms arranged differently. --Yulan
