Dedication

Carl Wilhelm Scheele

(1742 – 1786)

To Carl Wilhelm Scheele, one of the first true chemists, who did so much with so little.

As a practicing pharmacist without access to the advanced laboratory equipment available

to many of his contemporaries, Scheele discovered numerous chemical elements and

compounds—including oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, barium, manganese, molybdenum,

tungsten, citric acid, glycerol, the pigment Scheele's Green (cupric hydrogen arsenite),

and many others—debunked the phlogiston theory, and was among the first to establish

the rigorous, standardized, consistent quantitative procedures that are the hallmark of

modern chemistry. Scheele died at age 43, apparently from mercury poisoning contracted

as a result of his unfortunate habit of tasting the new compounds he prepared.
