Biography of Mendeleev Hobby

Brandt Zoology. As a student in the year, Dmitry Ivanovich conducts research and writes the article “On Isomorphism”, where he established relations between the crystalline form and the chemical composition of the compounds, as well as the dependence of the properties of elements on the magnitude of their atomic volumes. In G. at this time, he writes about enhantolo -hearted acid and the difference in replacement, compound and decomposition reactions.

Mendeleev was sent abroad. In Heidelberg, he was engaged in the capillary of liquids. He discovered in the year the "temperature of absolute boiling of liquids", or a critical temperature. Having returned, in the year publishes the first Russian textbook “Organic Chemistry”. In years, he created a hydrate theory of solutions. He developed ideas about the existence of compounds of alternating composition.

In the year, together with Zinin and other scientists, he became the founder of the Russian Physical and Chemical Society. In the year, Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev makes the greatest discovery in the history of chemistry - creates the famous periodic system of elements. In the year, his book “Fundamentals of Chemistry” is published - the first harmonious presentation of inorganic chemistry.

Mendeleev worked on the new publications of this work until the end of his life. In years, Mendeleev studies the properties of elasticity and expansion of gases, explores oil hydrocarbons and issues of oil origin, which he writes several works. Visits the Caucasus. In the year, he goes to America, Pennsylvania, to inspect American oil fields. Mendeleev’s works in terms of studying oil production were of great importance for the oil industry that is rapidly developing in Russia.

The result of one of the then fashionable hobbies was the study “On spiritualism”. From G. his portrait is drawn by Repin. Mendeleev becomes the editor of the chemical-technical and factory department of the encyclopedic dictionary of Brockhaus and Efron and many of the articles himself writes. As a hobby, Dmitry Ivanovich made suitcases and sewed his clothes for himself.

Mendeleev also participated in the design of the first Russian icebreaker "Ermak". In the year, Mendeleev independently rises in a balloon to observe a solar eclipse. The flight was unprecedented and became known all over the world. The French Academy of Meteorological aeronautics awarded Mendeleev a diploma "For the manifested courage during flight to observe a solar eclipse." In the year, on the instructions of the government, he studied the causes of the crisis of the coal industry in the Donetsk region.

His work “Letters about plants”, “Interpretation tariff” contained important economic proposals.

B-was a consultant to the Scientific and Technical Laboratory of the Sea Ministry. In organized the production of smokeless gunpowder invented by him. In the year, Mendeleev is appointed by the guardian of the depot of exemplary weights and weights. From a year on his initiative, it becomes the main chamber of measures and weights. Now this is the All -Russian Research Institute of Metrology.

As a result, already in the city, I think, not bad. ” He was a member of almost all academies and an honorary member of more academic societies. Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev died on February 2. He was buried on the "Literature bridges" of Volkov cemetery in St. Petersburg.
