Pneumatic chemistry

Pneumatic chemistry is a term most-closely identified with an area of scientific research of the seventeenth, eighteenth, and early nineteenth centuries. Important goals of this work were an understanding of the physical properties of airs (modern day gases) and how they relate to chemical reactions and, ultimately, the composition of matter.
