Joseph Priestley is an 18th century natural philosopher who is famous in his experiments in electricity, air, optics and soda water. His works are qualitative rather than quantitative because he does not concern himself with theories but practical applications.
His experiment in electricity through replication of other experiments lead to the publication of his book known as History of Electricity. He observed that electricity conducts through certain materials like coal and that electricity flow from conductors to non-conductors.With this experiments he concluded that conductivity is related to chemical property.
Another experiment that lead to a famous discovery is placing a mice in closed container with mercuric oxide. He concluded that the mice survived sometime because of common air-oxygen. He then relate oxygen in respiration and its use in the blood.

Answer from: MaliaHale

Joseph Priestley was a chemist, philosopher, and theologian in the 18th century. He is credited for discovering many gases and their properties.

One of the famous experiments of Priestley was that he discovered the gaseous exchange in plants.

Priestley's experiments were mainly based on qualitative analysis because he was concerned with practical applications than theories.

Priestly performed the experiments on electricity as well, and wrote the book 'History of Electricity.' The electricity conducts through certain materials known as conductors. The conductivity in the materials was regarded as the chemical properties of the conductors.

Another experiment was the discovery of oxygen in plants. He demonstrated the experiment that plants breathe, by releasing oxygen and taking up carbon dioxide.

Therefore, Priestly was a great philosopher and researcher who explained the use of oxygen in the blood and explain electricity.
