Water == H2O
1805 AD discovered
They establish that hydrogen and oxygen combine by volume in the ratio 2:1 to form water.
Later experiments with boron trifluoride and ammonia produced spectacularly dense fumes and led him to investigate similar reactions, such as that between hydrogen chloride and ammonia, which combine in equal volumes to form ammonium chloride. Further study enabled him to generalize about the behaviour of all gases.
