The distinction between the old and the new formulations consisting in the incorporation of the concept of the rate of chemical reactions is so great that it immediately asserted itself in the objective development of catalysis. — Wilhelm Ostwald Copy Share Image
It has pleased no less than surprised me that of the many studies whereby I have sought to extend the field of general chemistry,… — Wilhelm Ostwald Copy Share Image
My only supporter and comrade-in-arms was Georg Helm, who had endeavored to formulate an energetic conception of science before me and had presented his results in a treatise [Die Lehre von der Energie] exhibiting great independence of thought. But we were separated by his aversion to a realistic conception of energy. Consequently, each of us considered the other only a… — Wilhelm Ostwald Copy Share
“I am now convinced that we have recently become possessed of experimental evidence of the discrete or grained nature of matter, which the atomic hypothesis sought in vain for hundreds and thousands of years. The isolation and counting of gaseous ions, on the one hand, which have crowned with success the long and brilliant researches of J.J. Thomson, and, on… — Wilhelm Ostwald Copy Share

In specific circumstances the period of aging decline can set in earlier in a particular organ than in the organism as a whole which,… — Wilhelm Ostwald Copy Share Image
The development of a rational view of the nature of catalysis was thus absolutely dependent on the creation of the concept of the rate… — Wilhelm Ostwald Copy Share Image
Science is one land, having the ability to accommodate even more people, as more residents gather in it; it is a treasure that is… — Wilhelm Ostwald Copy Share Image
The worst manifestations of exhaustion were successfully cured by a long period of rest but it was immediately apparent to me that I had… — Wilhelm Ostwald Copy Share Image
Soon afterwards I studied the inversion of sugar in the light of these considerations and immediately found that this classical reaction, too, was determined… — Wilhelm Ostwald Copy Share Image
