The Modern Theory of Solution: Memoirs by Pfeffer, Van't Hoff, Arrhenius, and Raoult

""The Modern Theory of Solution: Memoirs by Pfeffer, Van't Hoff Arrhenius and Raoult"" is a book written by Harry C. Jones and published in 1899. The book is a collection of memoirs by four prominent scientists of the time, namely, Wilhelm Pfeffer, Jacobus Henricus van't Hoff, Svante Arrhenius, and Fran�����ois-Marie Raoult. These scientists made significant contributions to the development of the modern theory of solutions, which explains the behavior of substances when they are dissolved in a solvent. The book is divided into four parts, each dedicated to the memoirs of one of the scientists. In the first part, Pfeffer discusses his research on the osmotic pressure of solutions, which helped establish the concept of osmosis. In the second part, van't Hoff presents his work on the laws of chemical equilibrium, which led to the development of the theory of solutions. In the third part, Arrhenius explains his theory of electrolytic dissociation, which explains how electrolytes dissolve in water. Finally, in the fourth part, Raoult describes his research on the vapor pressure of solutions, which led to the development of Raoult's law.Overall, ""The Modern Theory of Solution"" is an important historical document that provides insight into the development of modern chemistry. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science or the theory of solutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
