This chemist's major ideas were collected in 1884's "Etudes de dynamique chimique". His work concerning the four valencies of a carbon atom allowed him to explain the "asymmetric" carbon atom occurring in optically active compounds. He developed the concept of chemical affinity as the maximum work obtainable from a reaction, while his equation relating the equilibrium constant with temperature is known as his "isochore". Also known for a namesake "factor" appearing in formulas for colligitive properties, FTP, who was this Dutch chemist, winner of the first chemistry Nobel Prize?
