Claude-Louis Berthollet (December 9, 1748 - November 6, 1822) was a French chemist. He is known for his scientific contributions to theory of chemical equilibria via the mechanism of reverse chemical reactions, and for his contribution to modern chemical nomenclature. On a practical basis, Berthollet was the first to demonstrate the bleaching action of chlorine gas, and was first to develop a solution of sodium hypochlorite as a modern bleaching agent. His book Essai de statique chimique (1803) was the first systematic work on chemical physics. | |
