Equations 27 and 28 permit a simple comparison to be made between the actual composition of a chemical system in a given state (degree of advancement) and the composition at the equilibrium state. If Q K, the affinity has a positive or negative value, indicating a thermodynamic tendency for spontaneous chemical reaction. Identifying conditions for spontaneous reaction and direction of a chemical reaction under given conditions is, of course, quite commonly applied to chemical thermodynamic principle (the inequality of the second law) in analytical chemistry, natural water chemistry, and chemical industry. Equality of Q and K indicates that the reaction is at chemical equilibrium. For each of several chemical reactions in a closed system there is a corresponding equilibrium constant, K, and reaction quotient, Q. The status of each of the independent reactions is subject to definition by Equations 26-28. 

CHEMHIST132 is an international electronic forum and news bulletin set up to carry information and discussion related to the history of chemistry and chemical industry. Founded in 1997, it soon became the official messenger of the IUHPS/DHS Commission on the History of Modem Chemistry (CHMC).

Ipatieff was, first of all, a brilliant and able teacher who preferred the title of Professor to any other. His research activity of a purely scientific nature brought with it unusual industrial success, and many plants, operating all over the world, are based on catalytic reactions discovered by him. Among the most important of his contributions are the introduction of high-pressure techniques in chemistry and chemical industry, destructive hydrogenation, the production of acetone from propyl alcohol, and the production of high-octane aviation fuel by the reactions of polymerization, alkylation, and isomerization. He was the first to demonstrate the specificity of catalysts and the use of mixed catalysts and promotors.

Professor Bourne s major concern was for the general advancement of chemical science, and he served on many committees of the learned societies. For some years, he was Chairman of the Downland Section of the Royal Institute of Chemistry, and he was a member of the British Carbohydrate Nomenclature Committee and of the Editorial Board of Carbohydrate Research. Inevitably, he became involved in the affairs of the University, where he was Chairman of the Board of Studies in Chemistry and Chemical Industries. He played a prominent part in setting up the University of London s Intercollegiate Research Service. Especially, he became involved in the affairs of the Royal Holloway College, where he was for a time Vice-Principal. Many innovations had their origin in his farsightedness, and came to fruition as a result of his power to inspire, and, above all, to convince. Scrupulously fair in all matters, he never took advantage of his own influential position. Whether he found himself in the company of university vice-chancellors or of students, he was always the same, cour-... 

Andrew Ede is an historian of science and technology whose focus is the development of chemistry and chemical industries in North America. He graduated from the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology at the University of Toronto. He is the author, along with Lesley Cormack, of A History of Science in Society. His current research is on chemists working for the US Chemical Warfare Service during World War I. 

The representation of the departures from ideality in ionic solutions has applications in various domains such as geochemistry, solution chemistry and chemical industry. It is useful for the design of absorption heat pumps or apparatus involved in desalination or nuclear wastes reprocessing. 

The sciences and especially chemistry and chemical industry could make enormous contributions to those programs. For example, hydrogels are important products of chemical industry. These hydrogels are able to bind a four hundred fold of water, reversibly. Hydrogels were used by Hiittermann (33) and Chinese scientists to cultivate semiarid regions in China (34). 

This volume does not offer history. Instead it provides certain elements -indicators -- that may be useful to individuals interested in the history of American chemistry and chemical industry, and suggestive for policy. Statisticians may properly be distressed by the lack of technical sophistication in the pages that follow. Sociologists will deplore our cavalier use of certain terms. Historians can rightly deprecate our failure to focus on the unique, and on the individual. Scientists should note our inability to take the measure of their ideas, and purists of all kinds will unite in abhorrence of our resort to guesstimates , approximations, and interpolations. Even so, we trust some people will find some use in some of what is reported here.
