	William Prout (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Prout was born on 15 January 1785 in Horton, near Chipping Sodbury in Gloucestershire and died in London on 9 April 1850.
		Prout’s lectures were generally well received by chemists, but the physiologist Alexander Philip Wilson Philip took him to task over his assertion that there had been no progress in physiology in the preceding twenty years and that the only hope of future progress lay in the applications of chemistry.
		Prout thought that Dalton’s atomic theory had retarded the advance of chemistry by its insistence on indivisible atoms since chemical reactions between gases seemed to suggest that their fundamental particles must be divisible.

	William Prout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Prout (January 15, 1785 – April 9, 1850) was an English chemist and physician.
		While Prout's hypothesis was not borne out by later more accurate measurements of the atomic weights, it was a sufficiently fundamental insight into the structure of the atom that in 1920, Ernest Rutherford chose the name of the newly-discovered proton to, among other reasons, give credit to Prout.
		Prout contributed to the improvement of the barometer, and the Royal Society of London adopted his design as a national standard.

	Prout, William (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In 1815 Prout published his hypothesis that the relative atomic mass of every atom is an exact and integral multiple of the mass of the hydrogen atom.
		In his anonymous paper of 1815, Prout concluded, from the determinations of atomic weights that had been made, that hydrogen was the basic building block of matter.
		Prout also studied the gases of the atmosphere and in 1832 made accurate measurements of the density of air.

	Prout's hypothesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prout's hypothesis was an early 19th century attempt to explain the existence of the various chemical elements through a hypothesis regarding the internal structure of the atom.
		In 1815 and 1816, the English chemist William Prout published two papers in which he observed that the atomic weights that had been measured for the elements known at that time appeared to be integer multiples of the atomic weight of hydrogen.
		In particular the atomic weight of chlorine, which is 35.45 times that of hydrogen, could not be explained in terms of Prout's hypothesis.

		In 1831 when William Prout (1785-1850) was elected to deliver the Gulstonian Lectures at the Royal College of Physicians, he chose to discuss the applications of chemistry to physiology, pathology, and medical practice, insisting on the need for physiologists to become chemists to ensure progress (47).
		Prout was also interested in the process of digestion, and believing that its main purpose was to fabricate blood, he published his investigations (54), completed 3 years later with experiments on the development of the chicken embryo (55).
		Prout's last purely chemical paper was published in 1827; it was intended as the first of three dealing with the main alimentary groups, saccharinous (carbohydrates), oleaginous (fats), and albuminous (proteins) (69).

		Prout's hypothesis, advanced in 1815–16, suggested that atomic weights of elements are multiples of that of hydrogen and that elements are formed by a condensation or grouping of hydrogen atoms.
		Later work on the determination of atomic weights showed that part of the hypothesis does, in general, apply.
		Prout won contemporary renown for his demonstration (1823) of the presence of free hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice of the stomach.

		William Prout's work on the nature and treatment of diseases of the urinary organs established his reputation as one of Britain's most distinguished physiological chemists.
		Prout was very skeptical of chemical remedies because of possible side effects, but he suggested iodine treatment for goiter.
		Prout applied chemical methods and reasoning to physiology and was criticized for his view that the body's vital functions could be explained by chemistry.

		This view, generally known as "Prout's hypothesis", at least had the merit of stimulating inquiry, however it is now known to be not quite correct.

	The Semiempirical Formula for Atomic Masses
		Sir William Crookes proposed in 1871 a resolution for the discrepancies to Prout's rule; i.e., some elements are composed of atoms of different masses and the meaured atomic weights are weighted averages of atoms which obey Prout's Rule.
		When Prout's rule was tested more rigorously it was found that the masses of all elements fell short of the mass they would have if they were composed of an integral number of hydrogen atoms.
		The modern version of Prout's rule is that the mass M of a nucleus of proton number P and neutron number N is approximately equal to sum of the masses of its constituent protons and neutrons; i.e.,

	Prime Matter: Prout
		William Prout (1785-1850; see portrait at John Park's ChemTeam site) was a medical doctor with a great interest in chemistry.
		Prout was a careful chemical analyst, and the combining ratio he reports here agrees with the accepted value to within 0.2%.
		Suppose one of the measurements Prout cites was mistaken by only 1% so that 20 grams of super-carbonate of potash were equivalent to 10.0 grams carbonate of lime rather than the reported 9.9; this small error would change the computed weight of potassium from 50 to 48.75.

		Happening at that time to make his first visit to the Continent, and to study the quaint streets and market-places of continental cities, he suddenly found himself in a new and enchanting province of art.

		Prout was also recognized as a clinical authority on urinary and digestive disease.
		century, however, Prout was best known for the hypothesis that atomic weights were multiples of that of hydrogen and the speculation that hydrogen was a fundamental building block of matter.
		And indeed, there was something to the idea of simple building blocks of atoms after all: practically all the mass of atoms is in their nuclei, which are made of protons and neutrons, building blocks of nearly identical mass (one of which happens to be the nucleus of the dominant isotope of hydrogen).

		He was an active worker in physiological chemistry, and carried out many analyses of the products of living organisms, among them being one of the gastric juice which, at the end of 1823, resulted in the notable discovery that the acid contents of the stomach contain hydrochloric acid which is separable by distillation.
		This view, generally known as Prouts hypothesis, at least had the merit of stimulating inquiry, and many of the most careful determinations of atomic weights undertaken since its promulgation have been provoked by the desire to test its validity.
