Extractions: He was educated at the "Real gymnasium" there and in 1872 was admitted to Dorpat University to read chemistry. After taking his final examinations three years later, he obtained the post of assistant at the Physics Institute under Professor Arthur von Oettingen, and subsequently took a similar position in the Chemistry Laboratory under Carl Schmidt. Ostwald himself declared that he was most indebted to these two teachers for his scientific training. In 1877 he was admitted as unpaid academic lecturer at Dorpat University, and this was followed (1881) by the appointment of full time Professor of Chemistry at the Polytechnicum in Riga. Six years later he accepted an invitation as Professor of Physical Chemistry at Leipzig University . Among his later famous pupils are Arrhenius (Nobel Prize 1903)

Extractions: Russian-German chemist who is considered one of the principle founders of physical chemistry. He translated Gibbs's works into German in 1892, and founded the first journal of physical chemistry with van't Hoff . He presented the modern view of catalysis, namely that catalysts do not alter the reaction mechanism, but merely lower the reaction barrier, for which he was awarded to Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1909. He developed a theory of solutions based on ionic dissociation and an analogy between gases and chemical solutions similar to Arrhenius's . He also believed that energy was the single real entity in nature.

Extractions: Wilhelm Ostwald Hulton Deutsch Collection/Corbis in full FRIEDRICH WILHELM OSTWALD (b. Sept. 2, 1853, Riga, Latvia, Russian Empired. April 4, 1932, near Leipzig, Ger.), German chemist who almost single-handedly organized physical chemistry into a nearly independent branch of chemistry. He won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1909 for his work on catalysis, chemical equilibrium, and reaction velocities. Ostwald took his doctorate from the University of Dorpat (now Tartu State University, Tartu, Estonia) in 1878 and taught at Riga before going to the University of Leipzig (1887-1906). He was quick to espouse the theories of Svante Arrhenius and Jacobus Henricus van't Hoff, with whom he placed physical chemistry on a firm basis. It was probably as author and editor, however, that he most helped to advance the science. He wrote Lehrbuch der allgemeinen Chemie, 2 vol. (1885-87; "Textbook of General Chemistry") and other influential texts and was chiefly responsible for the founding (1887) of the ("Journal of Physical Chemistry"), long the most influential publication in the field. In 1889 he began issuing

http://www.mth.kcl.ac.uk/~streater/ostwald.html

Extractions: Wilhelm Ostwald was a professor at Leipzig, and got the Nobel prize for his work on catalysis. He called his house "Energy House" as a counter to Boltzmann, who had called his house "Entropy House". Ostwald's house, about 30 Km from Leipzig, is being made into a museum; one of the main exhibits is the collection of coloured paints and dyes that he developed. He had a theory of colour that for a time was of interest to artists. Also in the house is a thermostatted beaker, heated by a Bunsen burner, and controlled to keep the fluid in the beaker to within one degree in temperature. An observer watching this device in action can understand what is meant by isothermal dynamics . It is definitely not well described by a Hamiltonian of the system, plus a Hamiltonian for the heat-bath, plus a Hamiltonian coupling the degrees of freedom at the edge of the system to the degrees of freedom at the edge of the heat-bath. Although such a treatment is popular, it predicts that the heat-bath will move from its initial state, if that is the Gibbs state at some temperature, due to interaction with the system. This effect is small, and limited to the part of the heat-bath next to the system, but is mentioned in e.g. Thirring's Current fluctuations in non-equilibrium steady states for a one-dimensional lattice conductor Quantum Information III One of Ostwald's unfulfilled ideas was to persuade publishers to use paper of a standard size in their books, so that they can be stacked efficiently on book-shelves. I visited the house in 1993. Ostwald's grand-daughter was there, acting as guardian; there were also researchers in the history of chemistry, collating his enormous collection of books and papers. His grave lies in the garden of the house.

Extractions: Wilhelm Ostwald Professor Wilhelm Ostwald , Nobel prize-winner for chemistry, was the chairman of the Delegation for the Adoption of an International Auxiliary Language, which gathered in Paris in 1907 with the task of deciding which planned language should be introduced into international affairs. The Delegation recommended the revisions to Esperanto that led to the development of Ido. After the Delegation, Ostwald remained an Idist; the following article was written for Progreso, Vol. VIII, nro. 81(1), January 1931, while Ostwald was Professor Emeritus in the University of Leipzig (Germany), and Honorary President of the Ido Academy. Da Prof. Dr. Wilhelm OSTWALD (Artiklo originala por inaugurar Progreso nova, dedikita ad omna amiki di LI, ed ad omni, qui ne ja es tala) En nia tempo la komuniko-moyeni, precipue pro la konquesto dil aero, facis plu granda progreso, kam en irga antea tempo.

Extractions: Russian-German chemist who is considered one of the principle founders of physical chemistry. He almost single-handedly organized physical chemistry into a nearly independent branch of chemistry. Nobel Laureate (1909) in Chemistry in recognition of his work on catalysis and for his investigations into the fundamental principles governing chemical equilibria and rates of reaction, best known to electrochemists for the theory of electrolyte solutions. Wilhelm Ostwald was born on September 2, 1853, in Riga, Latvia, as the son of master-cooper Gottfried Wilhelm Ostwald and Elisabith Leuckel. He was educated at the "Real gymnasium" in Riga and became interested in chemistry at an early age; as an eleven year old he made his own fireworks. In 1872 he was admitted to Dorpat University (now Tartu State University, Tartu, Estonia) to read chemistry. After taking his final examinations three years later, he obtained the post of assistant at the Physics Institute under Professor Arthur von Oettingen, and subsequently took a similar position in the Chemistry Laboratory under Carl Schmidt.

Extractions: Pronunciation Key Ostwald, Wilhelm Colour Science (1923, tr. 1931) and many textbooks. Ostwald originated the Ostwald process for preparing nitric acid. Ammonia mixed with air is heated and passed over a catalyst (platinum). It reacts with the oxygen to form nitric oxide, which is then oxidized to nitrogen dioxide; this in turn reacts with water to form nitric acid.

Extractions: Wilhelm Ostwald was born in Riga in 1853, studied Chemistry at the University of Dorpat, and taught at the University of Dorpat, 1875-1881, Riga Polytechnic 1881-1887, and at the University of Leipzig, 1887- 1906. In 1909 he received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. ( Emanuel Goldberg graduated from Ostwald's institute in 1906). Ostwald discussed problems of information management with Paul Otlet , co-founder of the International Institute for Bibliography in Brussels, in 1910. He used most of his Nobel Prize money to finance a similar organization, Die Bruecke ("The Bridge"), an "international institute for the organizing of intellectual work," which he founded in Munich with Karl Wilhelm Buehrer and Adolf Saager in June 1911. The manifesto of the The Bridge, entitled, the "The Organizing of Intellectual Work" was published in German and in Esperanto ("everybody's second language") in 1911. They advocated "the monographic principle" (hypertext), technical standards, the use of the Universal Decimal Classification, and the idea of a World Brain . The Bridge ended in 1913 after publishing numerous pamphlets. Ostwald died in 1932. One lasting legacy of his work is the international standard for paper sizes (A4 etc.). Sources

Country of origin: Germany Basic colours: Yellow, red, blue and sea-green Form: Circle Related systems: Bezold Wundt Hering Pope ... NCS Summary: The word "harmony" in the title aptly symbolises what Ostwald wanted to achieve with colours. Experience had shown him (and others) that some colour combinations could be seen as pleasant (or harmonious), while others were unpleasant. The question was why, and whether a law could be formulated. With his analysis of colour-harmony, Ostwald proceeds on the basis of his conviction that harmony is created by colour-order.A double-cone is put forward with one white and one black tip between which a stepped grey-scale is arranged, modelled according to a fundamental psychological law. The double-cone extends from a colour-circle divided into 24 segments (the full colours) which in turn stem from the four proto-colours of yellow, red, blue and sea-green.
