24. Karl Scheele in 1772 - but you're probably going to tell me it was Priestly in 1774!!

Bless Bill Bryson's - "A Short History !!!!!

Q2 bet it's THE most famous Florentine family...Catherine de Medici
Q48 Bet the ancient Greeks don't count do they...I think they had steam driven stuff but mostly as a party trick rather than anything useful.

i see your point that scheele it seems didnt reveal his theory or findings until much later

Oxygen was discovered for the first time by a Swedish Chemist, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, in 1772. Joseph Priestly, an English chemist, independently, discovered oxygen in 1774 and published his findings the same year, three years before Scheele published.
