Another pioneer, Paracelsus, who helped alchemy develop into modern chemistry,
declared that salt, sulphur, and mercury mixed in the proper proportions would be good
for our health. He also insisted that the search for gold should be stopped.
An important chemist in eighteenth-century in France was Lavoisier. His experiments
convinced him that burning was caused by union of oxygen with other chemicals. He
called this process oxidation.
In the composed of very small particles called atoms, and that the atoms of various
elements differ in their weight. The atomic theory also states that a union of two or more
atoms comprises a molecule.
At about the same time, an Italian physicist, Avogadro added the idea that a volume
of one kind of gas contains the same number of molecules as an equal volume of any
other kind of gas. if both are under the same conditions of temperature and pressure.
This is called Avogadro's law.
The search for gold by the ancient alchemists has given way the search for other

materials, which are not less precious, and probably even more useful. Although in a
limited way, they have also fulfilled the dream of the ancients, to lengthen man's life.

POPULATION PROBLEMS
As early as 1788 Thomas Robert Malthus, an English economical, expressed his
concern about the rapid growth of the world's population. He stated that population
increased in a geometrical ratio, while substance increased only in an arithmetical ratio.
Consequently, unless there were checks on the growth of the population, a dearth of
material would soon prevail. All plans for social reform would be in vain unless the
included a lowering of the birthrate.
It is now nearly 200 years since Malthus Views were first published, and even though
science and technology have advanced rapidly and have been very successful in
increasing substance, there is still no certainly about the future unless population growth
is checked. "Zero population growth" has become a popular motto in campaigns for
family planning and birth control. In 1930 Indonesia had a population of 60 million in
1954 it was 81 million the present estimate is about 150 million. The annual rate old
increase is around 2.2 percent. If the population continues to grow at this rate, in year
