Ej and Eq became a formal part of chemistry via a report by Nernst to the 5 June 1903 meeting of the Bunsen Society ( 21) He announced that these symbols along with others had been proposed by the Bunsen Society to, and approved by, the International Congress for Applied Chemistry, which met in Berlin. 

International Test at 75°C. This test, recommended by the International Commission which repotted to the 8th International Congress of Applied Chemistry, 1912, on "Methods for Testing the Stability of Explosives" is conducted as a supplement to the Abel Test. The test is described in Vol 1 of Encycl (Ref 9, p XVIII) and in Ref 1, pl2... 

As a result of decisions of International Congresses of Applied Chemistry, among them that held at Paris (1900) and of the International Commission for Standard Methods of Sugar Analysis, the specific gravity of saccharine solutions should be determined at 20° C. and referred to water at 40 (sp. gr. at 20°/4°), i.e., it should indicate the weight of a true c.c. of solution at 200. Use is, however, largely made in practice of the sp. gr. at i745°/i7-50 and sometimes at i5°/i5°. 

This procedure. is a modification of the original Conradson method and aKwratut for Carbon Test and Ash Residue in Petroleum Lubricating Oils.

Since 1888 Brauner attempted to put through, jointly with the American chemist F. P. Venable (1856-1934) and other chemists, the atomic weight of oxygen (16) as standard for calculation of relative atomic weights of elements this proposal was only accepted in 1900 at the 4th International Congress of Applied Chemistry in Paris. In the years between 1921 and 1930 Brauner was member of the International Committee on Chemical Elements and president of its subcommission on atomic weights. 

Systematic nomenclature on a worldwide scale began in 1892 when a committee of the International Chemical Congress established a set of standards known as the Geneva Rules for naming organic compounds. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (ILTPAC) http /Ywww,iupac.org/dhtml home.html was formed in 1919 and further developed this nomenclature system. In 1886 in the United States, the American Chemical Society (ACS) established a Committee on... 

Through his studies on the aromatic character of the heterocyclic compounds, Bonino inevitably confronted the classical problem of the structure of benzene. [50] He completed his work on the Raman spectrum of aromatic compounds which included benzene, presenting his results in April 1934 at the 9th International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry in Madrid. At the Madrid Congress, Bonino recommended a new formula for benzene this formula, however, lacked a rigorous quantum mechanical grounding. Rather, it represented an attempt to summarize qualitatively some fundamental ideas in the wave-mechanical interpretation of benzene (Figure 4.4). 

Prof. Rao is Chairman, Scientific Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, past President of The Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS), Member of the Atomic Energy Commission of India and Chairman, Indo-Japan Science Council. He is Founder-President of both the Chemical Research Society of India and of the Materials Research Society of India. Prof. Rao was President of the Indian National Science Academy (1985-86), the Indian Academy of Sciences (1989-91), the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (1985-97), the Indian Science Congress Association (1987-88), and Chairman, Advisory Board of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (India). He was the Director of the Indian Institute of Science (1984-94), Chairman of the Science Advisory Council to Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi (1985-89) and Chairman, Scientific Advisory Committee to the Union Cabinet (1997-98) and Albert Einstein Research Professor (1995-99). 

The first concerted international effort to develop coherent policies for systematic organic nomenclature was made by the International Commission for the Reform of Chemical Nomenclature at the Geneva Congress in 1892. From the Commission developed what is known today as the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC), whose declared function is to systematize and codify existing nomenclature practices insofar as they are determined to be sound. Such efforts have been well documented [15] and have resulted in the publication of comprehensive rules for systematic inorganic and organic nomenclature [16,17]. Paren-...
