Familiar Letters On Chemistry, And Its Relation To Commerce, Physiology, And Agriculture
About the Book
The impact that chemistry has on the human industry, agriculture, and commerce, as well as physiology, medicine, and other disciplines, is a hot issue of discussion right now.
When compressed, the majority of aeriform bodies are forced to occupy a smaller volume, exactly proportional to the increase in compressing force. All of our contemporary advancements in domestic arts may be attributed to the production of soda from ordinary culinary salt. The animal and plant kingdoms are interdependent on one another and succeed one another in the vast yet constrained ocean. Man needs large amounts of food for support and sustenance while eating just animal products since, given the chance, he kills without eating. Because theory is nothing more than the distillation of a set of occurrences to their root causes, it must be consistent with experience. All plants that are grown for food require alkalies and alkaline earth, each in a certain proportion, for their proper sustenance. A healthy adult's weight does not logically change from day to day in a normal or healthy adult. The body weighs more while you're young than when you're elderly. All the components of the human and animal diet are found in the solid and fluid excretions of both, except carbon and hydrogen, which are released through the skin and lungs.
German scientist Justus Freiherr von Liebig, who lived from 12 May 1803 to 20 April 1873, made significant discoveries in agricultural and biological chemistry. He created the contemporary laboratory-oriented teaching methodology while serving as a professor at the University of Giessen. Because of his emphasis on nitrogen and trace minerals as crucial plant nutrients, he has been referred to as the "father of the fertilizer business."
The son of a dry goods and hardware dealer, Justus Liebig was born in Darmstadt, Germany. The Great Famine of 1816, which Liebig experienced at the age of 13, is credited with influencing his subsequent work. Lussac's Georges Cuvier and Alexander von Humboldt became his friends.
On Humboldt's advice, Liebig was appointed a professor of chemistry at the University of Giessen in 1824. He was a member of the philosophy faculty and taught general chemistry, leaving medical chemistry and pharmacy to the medical faculty. In an attempt to outdo Liebig for students and lecture fees, Zimmermann eventually killed himself on July 19, 1825. In May 1826, Liebig wed Henriette "Jettchen" Moldenhauer (1807–1881), a state official's daughter. Although Liebig was a Lutheran and Jettchen a Catholic, their religious differences seem to have been reconciled by raising their daughters as Catholics and their children as Lutherans.
