See also:RICHTER, JEREMIAS See also:BENJAMIN (1762–1807) , See also:German chemist, was See also:born at Hirschberg in See also:Silesia on the loth of See also:March 1762, became a See also:mining See also:official at See also:Breslau in 1794, and in 1800 was appointed See also:assessor to the See also:department of mines and chemist to the royal See also:porcelain factory at See also:Berlin, where he died on the 4th of See also:April 1807. To him belongs the merit of carrying, out Some of the earliest determinations of the quantities by See also:weight in which acids saturate bases and bases acids, and of arriving at the conception that those amounts of different bases which can saturate the same quantity of a particular See also:acid are See also:equivalent to each other. He was thus led to conclude that See also:chemistry is a See also:branch of applied See also:mathematics and to endeavour to trace a See also:law according to which the quantities of different bases required to saturate a given acid formed an arithmetical, and the quantities of acids saturating a given See also:base a geometrical, progression. His results were published in his Anfangsgrunden der Stochiometrie See also:oder Messkunst chemischer Elemente (1792-94), and Ober See also:die neueren Gegenstdnde in der Chemie (1792–18o2), but it was See also:long before they were properly appreciated, or he himself was • accorded due See also:credit for them. This was partly because some of his See also:work was wrongly ascribed to C. F. See also:Wenzel by See also:Berzelius through 'a See also:mistake which was only corrected in 1841 by Germain See also:Henri See also:Hess (18o2-1850), See also:professor of chemistry at St See also:Petersburg, and author of " the See also:laws of See also:constant See also:heat-sums and of thermoneutrality" (see TH1sRMOCnEMISTRY).
