Joseph Black, Scottish physicist and chemist, (1870).Artist: J Rogers
Joseph Black, Scottish physicist and chemist, (1870). Black (1728-1799) was the first to isolate carbon dioxide in a pure state. His work also helped discredit the theory of the theory of phlogiston. He is most famous for devising the theory of latent heat and demonstrating that different substances have different specific heats.
