	Svante August Arrhenius - LoveToKnow 1911
		SVANTE AUGUST ARRHENIUS (1859-), Swedish physicist and chemist, was born on the 19th of February 1859, at Schloss Wijk, near Upsala.
		Arrhenius is specially associated with the development of the theory of electrolytic dissociation, and his great paper on the subject, Recherches sur la conductibilite galvanique des electrolytes - (1) conductibilite galvanique des solutions aqueuses extremement diluees, (2) theorie chimique des electrolytes, was presented to the Stockholm Academy of Sciences in 1883.
		He was subsequently continuously engaged in extending the applications of the doctrine of electrolytic conduction in relation not only to the problems of chemical action but also, on the supposition that in certain conditions the air conducts electrolytically, to the phenomena of atmospheric electricity.

	Mag Lab Education - Pioneers in Electricity and Magnetism: Svante Arrhenius
		Svante Arrhenius was born in Vik, Sweden, and became the first native of that country to win the Nobel Prize.
		Arrhenius showed early promise of success, learning to read at the age of 3 and acquiring a pronounced interest in mathematical calculations in his youth by observing the accounting practices of his father, a land surveyor for the University of Uppsala.
		Based upon his investigations on the conductivity of electrolytes, Arrhenius was convinced that when an electrolyte is dissolved in water, it dissociates to some degree into positive and negative ions, and that the extent of dissociation depends upon the nature of the electrolyte and its level of concentration (dissociation being greater in dilute solutions).

		Svante August Arrhenius was a Swedish physical chemist best known for his theory that electrolytes, certain substances that dissolve in water to yield a solution that conducts electricity, are separated, or dissociated, into electrically charged particles, or ions, even when there is no current flowing through the solution.
		Svante August Arrhenius was born in Wijk, Sweden on February 19, 1859, the son of Svante Gustaf Arrhenius and Carolina Christina Thunberg.
		Arrhenius had the foresight to send copies of his thesis to several international chemists, and a few were impressed with his work, including the young chemists Wilhelm Ostwald and Jacobus Henricus van't Hoff, who were also to become founding fathers of physical chemistry.

		Arrhenius’ life can be conveniently divided into three major portions, corresponding to the three major sections in Crawford’s biography: his education and work in solution theory (for which he is most famous), his study of cosmic physics, and his work in immunochemistry (Arrhenius invented the term).
		Arrhenius also derived this mass law from another direction, as an equilibrium between active and inactive molecules, measured by conductivity — the activity coefficient was related directly to the ‘active mass’ in solution.

		During the next ten years, Arrhenius continued his work on the effects of carbon dioxide on climate, and published a two-volume technical book titled Lehrbuch der kosmischen Physik in 1903; but this work was not widely read, as it was a textbook for a discipline that did not yet exist.
		In this book Arrhenius first describes the “hot-house theory ”of the atmosphere, stating that the Earth's temperature is about 30 degrees warmer than it would be due to the“ heat-protection action of gases contained in the atmosphere,”a theory based on ideas developed by Fourier, Pouillet, and (especially) Tyndall.
		It is important to note that Arrhenius was not very concerned with rising carbon dioxide levels at the time, but rather was attempting to find an explanation for high latitude temperature changes that could be attributed to the onset of the ice ages and interglacial periods.
