See also:HERMANN See also:FRANZ See also:MORITZ See also:KOPP (1817-1892) , See also:German chemist, was See also:born on the 3oth of See also:October 1817 at See also:Hanau, where his See also:father, Johann Heinrich See also:Kopp (1777-1858), a physician, was See also:professor of See also:chemistry, physics and natural See also:history at the See also:Lyceum . After attending the gymnasium of his native See also:town, he studied at See also:Marburg and See also:Heidelberg, and then, attracted by the fame of See also:Liebig, went in 1839 to See also:Giessen, where he became a privatdozent in 1841, and professor of chemistry twelve years later . In 1864 he was called to Heidelberg in the same capacity, and he remained there till his See also:death on the loth of See also:February 1892 . Kopp devoted himself especially to physico-chemical inquiries, and in the history of chemical theory his name is associated with several of the most important correlations of the See also:physical properties of substances with their chemical constitution . Much of his See also:work was concerned with specific volumes, the conception of which he set forth in a See also:paper published when he was only twenty-two years of See also:age; and the principles he established have formed the basis of subsequent investigations in that subject, although his results have in some cases undergone modification . Another question to which he gave much See also:attention was the connexion of the boiling-point of compounds, organic ones in particular, with their See also:composition . In addition to these and other laborious researches, Kopp was a prolific writer . In 1843-184.7 he published a comprehensive History of Chemistry, in four volumes, to which three supplements were added in 1869-1875 . The Development of Chemistry in See also:Recent Times appeared in 1871-1874, and in 1886 he published a work in two volumes on See also:Alchemy in See also:Ancient and See also:Modern Times . In addition he wrote (1863) on theoretical and physical chemistry for the See also:Graham-See also:Otto Lehrbuch der Chemie, and for many years assisted Liebig in editing the Annalen der Chemie and the Jahresbericht . He must not be confused with Emil . KoPP (1817-1875), who, born at Warselnheim, See also:Alsace, became in 1847 professor of See also:toxicology and chemistry at the Ecole superieure de Pharmacie at Strasburg, in 1849 professor of physics and chemistry at See also:Lausanne, in 1852 chemist to a See also:Turkey-red factory near See also:Manchester, in 1868 professor of technology at See also:Turin, and finally, in 1871, professor of technical chemistry at the See also:Polytechnic of See also:Zurich, where he died in 1875 .
