Nernst, Walter

In May 1925, at last, the X-ray measurements seemed to indicate the presence of both elements 43 and 75. The first mention of the discovery was made at a very high level, at a meeting of the Preujiische Akademie der Wissenschaften, thanks to Walther Nernst who had been Walter Noddack s mentor. [17] The results were published in the prestigious journal Die Naturwissenschaften soon after, in a two-fold contribution. A first section of the paper is devoted to the analytical and geochemical part of the investigation, whereas the second section deals exclusively with the X-ray spectroscopy, [18] and Ida co-authors both contributions. In Walter s and Ida s mind however, the quest was not yet finished. Walter Noddack publicly declared that the crucial point to assess the existence of these two new elements was to produce samples and to hand them over to colleagues. [19]... 

Walter Noddack (1893-1960) began studying chemistry, physics and mathematics at the University of Berlin in 1912. Having volunteered during World War I, he received his doctorate in 1920 only, under the direction of Nernst on Einstein s law of photochemical equivalence. He became di-... 

Walter Nernst made many important contributions to the understanding of the physical chemistry of solutions he was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1920. 

Professor Walter Hermann von Nernst (1864-1941) was one of the pioneers in the development of electrochemical theory and is generally given credit for first stating the third law of thermodynamics. He won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1920 for his contributions to our understanding of thermodynamics. 

Walter Hermann Nernst (1864—1941). German chemist and physicist. Nernst s work was mainly on electrolyte solution and diermodynamics. He also invented an electric piano. Nernst was awarded die Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1920 for his contribution to diermodynamics. 

This general relationship was first given in 1889 by the German physical chemist Walter H. Nernst (1864-1941), and is known as the Nernst equation. Equation (8.13) is a simple form of it, applicable to a cell in which one electrode is the standard hydrogen electrode. 

This general equation was derived during early 20th century by a German chemist named Walter Nernst. Nemst won the Nobel Prize in 1920 for his contributions to the field of physical chemistry. We use a simplified form of the Nernst equation to show the relationship between the concentrations of oxidized and reduced components and the Eh and pH values of a chemical system (remember that biological systems are also chemical systems) ... 

This equation characterizes real voltage between elements of redox-couples and is usually called the Nemst equation after its author Walter Hermann Nernst (1864-1941). 

Equation (11.1), which gives the relationship between the cell potential and the concentrations of the cell components, is commonly called the Nernst equation after German chemist Walter Hermann von Nernst. 

Nernst effect An effect in which a temperature gradient along an electric conductor or semiconductor placed in a perpendicular magnetic field, causes a potential difference to develop in the third perpendicular direction between opposite edges of the conductor. This effect, an analogue of the Hall effect, was discovered in 1886 by the German physicist Walter Nemst (1864-1941).

Now proceed by dividing (9-5) by -z F and replacing the ratio -GIzF by E. This is the so-called Nernst s equation, after the German physical chemist Walter Nernst ...

Matthias Pier (1882-1965), a German chemist, worked with Emil Fischer and Walter Nernst during his studies. After WWI, he joined BASF and worked on ammonia and methanol synthesis. After BASF had purchased the patent on coal liquefaction from Bergius in 1925, he developed this process further. He found better and sulfur-resistant catalysts and increased the yield of fuels by arranging the process in two steps, liquid-phase hydrogenation and gas-phase hydrotreating of the intermediate product. Thus, the process is therefore mostly known as the Bergius-Pier process.
