“I was led to the conclusion that at the most extreme dilutions all salts would consist of simple conducting molecules. But the conducting molecules are, according to the hypothesis of Clausius and Williamson, dissociated; hence at extreme dilutions all salt molecules are completely disassociated. The degree of dissociation can be simply found on this assumption by taking the ratio of the molecular conductivity of the solution in question to the molecular conductivity at the most extreme dilution.” ScienceChemistryClausiusRudolf ClausiusRudolf Julius Emanuel ClausiusDilutionAlexander William WilliamsonAlexander WilliamsonConductivityWilliamson Author:Svante Arrhenius
“The theoretical side of physical chemistry is and will probably remain the dominant one; it is by this peculiarity that it has exerted such a great influence upon the neighboring sciences, pure and applied, and on this ground physical chemistry may be regarded as an excellent school of exact reasoning for all students of the natural sciences.” MaySchoolScienceSidesNaturalInfluenceStudentsPureAccountsExcellenceExcellentReasoningChemistryDominantTheoreticalNatural ScienceGreat Influence Book:Theories of Solutions Source: Theories of Solutions
“In a great number of the cosmogonic myths the world is said to have developed from a great water, which was the prime matter. In many cases, as for instance in an Indian myth, this prime matter is indicated as a solution, out of which the solid earth crystallized out.” WorldSaidMatterEarthScienceWaterNumbersCasesSolutionsMythInstanceIndianPrime Book:Theories of Solutions Source: Theories of Solutions
