SVANTE AUGUST ARRHENIUS
Although this paper contains the standard chronological biography of Dr. Arrhenius, our goal is broader. First, we hope to show a more personal view of Dr. Arrhenius as related to us by Dr. Hubert Alyea in an interview. Second, we would like to present an overview of Dr. Arrhenius' Nobel Prize winning work and the difficulty he had in gaining acceptance in the scientific community. Finally we will offer a lab that simulates Dr. Arrhenius's work in hopes that some teachers will let their students experience a little piece of chemical history.
Reminiscing about Svante A. Arrhenius
Dr. Hubert Alyea worked in Sweden under Dr. S. A. Arrhenius during 1925 and 1926. He was Arrhenius' last graduate student and has very fond memories of the great scientist. The path that led Dr. Alyea to Arrhenius' lab began in 1920 when he entered Princeton at the age of 15. His work and studies were delayed when he contracted polio at the age of 19; however, he feels that the year he spent in bed as a result of his illness was a time of great inner reflection and that he emerged with a strong commitment to accomplish something with his life that would contribute to the good of humanity. After Dr. Alyea graduated from Princeton he was awarded a grant to study with Arrhenius, and he left for Sweden. At the time of Dr. Alyea's arrival, Svante Arrhenius was already 66 years old, and the bulk of his research had been completed. What had been a bustling lab in earlier years now supported only a few graduate students. Dr. Alyea felt this atmosphere was perfect for him; he received the mentoring that he needed to thrive. Although Dr. Alyea worked directly under Beckstrum, Arrhenius' assistant, he recalls how Svante Arrhenius came in to the lab at least twice every day to ask how the work was going and what Alyea planned to do that day.

S.A. Arrhenius, 1924 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. In 1903 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
Arrhenius as a student
In 1876 he entered the University of Uppsala, studying mathematics, chemistry and physics. The practical instruction in physics was not of the best, and in 1881 he went to Stockholm to work under Professor E. Edlund at the Academy of Sciences. Here, Arrhenius began by assisting Edlund in his work on electromotive force measurements in spark discharges but soon moved to an interest of his own. This resulted in his thesis (1884) " " (Investigations on the galvanic conductivity of electrolytes). From his results the author concluded that electrolytes, when dissolved in water, become to varying degrees split or dissociated into electrically opposite positive and negative ions. The degree to which this dissociation occurred depended above all on the nature of the substance and its concentration in the solution - being more developed the greater the dilution. The ions were supposed to be the carriers of the electric current, e.g. in electrolysis, but also of the chemical activity. The relation between the actual number of ions and their number at great dilution (when all the molecules were dissociated) gave a quantity of special interest ("activity constant").

Arrhenius is said to have taught himself to read at the age of three and to have become interested in mathematics from watching his father add columns of figures. He attended the Cathedral School at Uppsala and went on to the university, where he studied physics, mathematics, and chemistry. In pursuit of his doctorate he migrated to Stockholm to work on electrolysis under Erik Edlund. In 1883 he published his first paper and in May 1884, at Uppsala, defended his doctoral thesis containing in embryo the dissociation theory.

Bununla birlikte mesleðinin ilk yýllarý, kendini kabul ettirmek için verdiði mücadelelerle doludur. Arhenius, 22 yaþýnda elektriðin sulu çözeltilerden geçiþi ile ilgili olarak bir çok deney yaptý ve doktorasýný hazýrlamak için bu deneylere devam etmeye karar verdi. Upsala Üniversitesindeki laboratuvarýnda, yüzlerce çözelti üzerinde, çok geniþ bilgiler topladý. Bunlara dayanarak, sulu çözeltilerin yüklü tanecikler yani iyonlar içerdiði hipotezini ileri sürdü. Bu, o sýralarda devrim yaratýcý bir görüþtü; profesörleri bu hipotezi kendi düþüncelerinden o kadar farklý gördüler ki ona "doktor" ünvanýný istemeyerek verdiler. Arrhenius'un bilimdeki baþarýsýný, onun yalnýz parlak bir bilim adamý olmasýnda deðil, ayný zamanda kendi görüþlerini yýlmadan savunmasýnda aramak gerekir. Sulu çözeltilerin özeliklerini anlayýþý, çaðýnýn düþüncelerinden o kadar ileriydi ki, eðer kuramýnýn doðruluðu üzerindeki inancý bu kadar kuvvetli olmasaydý kolayca bir kenara atýlabilirdi.

http://www.nobel.se/chemistry/laureates/1903/arrhenius-bio.html
Svante August Arrhenius was born on February 19, 1859, the son of Svante Gustaf Arrhenius and Carolina Christina Thunberg. His ancestors were farmers; his uncle became Professor of Botany and Rector of the Agricultural High School at Ultuna near Uppsala and later Secretary of The Swedish Academy of Agriculture. His father was a land surveyor employed by the University of Uppsala and in charge of its estates at Vik, where Svante was born. The family moved to Uppsala in 1860. The boy was educated at the Cathedral school where the rector was a good physics teacher. From an early age Svante had shown an aptitude for arithmetical calculations, and at school he was greatly interested in mathematics and physics. In 1876 he entered the University of Uppsala, studying mathematics, chemistry and physics. The practical instruction in physics was not of the best, and in 1881 he went to Stockholm to work under Professor E. Edlund at the Academy of Sciences.
Here, Arrhenius began by assisting Edlund in his work on electromotive force measurements in spark discharges but soon moved to an interest of his own. This resulted in his thesis (1884) (Investigations on the galvanic conductivity of electrolytes). From his results the author concluded that electrolytes, when dissolved in water, become to varying degrees split or dissociated into electrically opposite positive and negative ions.

http://www.chemheritage.org/EducationalServices/chemach/eei/saa.html

    Svante August Arrhenius (1859–1927), a founding father of physical chemistry, was trained both in chemistry and physics. He began at the University of Uppsala, but then petitioned to work at the Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm instead, because he found the chemistry professors at the university rigid and uninspiring. His doctoral dissertation, presented in 1883, described his experimental work on the electrical conductivity of dilute solutions; it also contained a speculative section that set out an early form of his theory that molecules of acids, bases, and salts dissociate into ions when these substances are dissolved in water—in contrast to the notion of Michael Faraday and others that ions are produced only when the electrical current begins to flow. According to Arrhenius, acids were substances that contained hydrogen and yielded hydrogen ions in aqueous solution; bases contained the OH group and yielded hydroxide ions in aqueous solution. Arrhenius's thesis was received coolly by the university authorities and nearly ruined his prospects for an academic career. At the time his theory seemed incredible to many because, among other reasons, a solution of sodium chloride shows none of the characteristics of either sodium or chlorine, and, in addition, the professors he had shunned in his studies were not well disposed toward him. But he 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
