Congreso de Karlsruhe: 150 años.
Hoy se cumplen 150 años de la inauguración del Congreso de Karlsruhe, que marcó el comienzo de la Química moderna.
Antes del Congreso, la Química era un caos. Los químicos de la época (muchos de ellos brillantísimos con gran influencia en la historia de la ciencia) no se ponían de acuerdo sobre la existencia o no (y la distinción) entre átomo y molécula; había una enorme confusión entre peso atómico (asignando pesos atómicos distintos a los mismos elementos), peso molecular y peso equivalente; y no había acuerdo en la nomenclatura, formulación y símbolos químicos.
Para intentar debatir ideas y llegar a algún acuerdo sobre los aspectos indicados en el párrafo anterior, Kekulé, Wurtz y Weltzien convocaron un congreso para los días 3, 4 y 5 de septiembre de 1860 en la ciudad alemana de Karlsruhe. Se invitó a todos los químicos del mundo y el Congreso tuvo una gran asistencia, con 127 participantes de 12 países (un español, el profesor Ramon Torres, de la universidad central de Madrid), la mayoría (126) de países europeos y un mexicano (Posselt). Algunos de los químicos más destacados asistieron, entre los que cabe citar a Bunsen, Baeyer, Erlenmeyer, Hoffmann, Meyer, Frankland, Kekulé, Dumas, Wurtz, Crum Brown, Borodin (el famoso músico, también profesor de Química) y Wislicenus. Al congreso también asistieron dos jóvenes químicos, Cannizzaro (1826-1910) y Mendeleev (1834-1907). Uno de ellos (Cannizzaro) tuvo una influencia enorme en el desarrollo del Congreso; y el otro (Mendeleev) recibió inspiración fundamental para desarrollar la Tabla Periódica de los Elementos Químicos (1869).
Stanislao Cannizzaro, basándose en la hipótesis de Avogadro, había elaborado un documento (adaptado a partir de uno escrito en 1858, Sunto di un corso di Filosofia Chimica) explicando las diferencias entre átomo y molécula; así como en las distinciones entre pesos atómicos y moleculares, proponiendo pesos atómicos a los elementos basándose en los datos experimentales conocidos. De esta manera se empezó a resolver muchos problemas de composición de los compuestos químicos (por ejemplo, en aquella época, la fórmula del agua podía ser H2O ó H2O2). Cannizzaro con sus intervenciones en el Congreso y con la distribución del documento a los participantes, contribuyó a «poner orden» en la Química.
A partir del Congreso de Karlsruhe empezó la sistematización de la Química. Se distinguió entre átomo y molécula, se asignaron pesos (masas) atómicos y moleculares aceptados por la comunidad química, se reconoció que ciertos elementos químicos eran diatómicos, se adoptaron fórmulas que representasen mejor los compuestos químicos (a propuesta de Kekulé), se profundizó en el concepto de valencia (a partir de los estudios de Frankland).
También, el Congreso de Karlsruhe fue el punto de partida para la organización regular de congresos de Química y para la consolidación de las sociedades químicas nacionales e internacionales que dieron lugar a la IUPAC (Unión Internacional de Química Pura y Aplicada) en 1919.
Espero que el año 2011, Año Internacional de la Química, suponga un revulsivo como lo fue el año 1860; quizás no tanto en el plano científico, sino en el de la influencia de la Química en la sociedad.

Honest opinion is that this is the kind of post that builds long term trust with readers, and a look at forwardthinkingmotion reinforced that perception, the slow accumulation of trust through consistent quality is the only sustainable way to build a real audience and this site is clearly playing that long game.
Самара, привет. Беда пришла в семью. Дети боятся отца. В наркологию тащить — стыд и страх. Короче, единственные, кто быстро приехал — выведение из запоя на дому анонимно. Врач поставил систему. В общем, цены и телефон тут — цена вывод из запоя на дому https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-samara-rtw.ru Звоните прямо сейчас. Перешлите тем, кто рядом с бедой.
Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at blog33page produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.
Picked this up between two other things I was doing and got drawn in completely, and after momentumfindsclarity my original tasks were completely forgotten for a while, content that derails a workflow in a positive way by being more interesting than what you were already doing is rare and worth recognising clearly.
Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at actionsetsclarity kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.
My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice, and a look at ideasgainmomentum pulled me back a third time, the actual return rate to bookmarked sites is the real measure of value and this one is clearing that measure at a notable rate already.
However measured this site clears the bar I set for sites I take seriously, and a stop at actionshapesdirection continued clearing that bar, the metrics I use for site quality are admittedly informal but they are consistent and this site has cleared them on multiple measurements across multiple visits which is meaningful for my evaluation.
Felt like the post had been edited rather than just drafted and published, and a stop at growthflowsforward suggested the same care across the site, the difference between edited and unedited content is enormous for the reader and this site has clearly invested in the editing pass that most blogs skip entirely which really does show up.
Genuine reaction is that I will probably think about this on and off for a few days, and a look at actionmovesforward added fuel to that, the best content lingers in your head after you close the tab rather than evaporating immediately and this site clearly knows how to write that kind of memorable content.
Now recognising the specific pleasure of reading writing that shows real care for sentence shapes, and a look at focusdefinesdirection extended that craft pleasure, sentence level writing quality is something most blog content ignores entirely and this site has clearly invested in the prose layer alongside the substance which is rare today.
Здорова, народ. Близкий человек снова сорвался. Родственники не знают, что делать. Скорая не приедет на такой вызов. Короче, спасла эта бригада — вывод из запоя с выездом круглосуточно. Приехали через 40 минут. В общем, цены и телефон тут — вывести из запоя вывести из запоя Звоните прямо сейчас. Перешлите тем, кто рядом с бедой.
Приветствую Муж просто потерял себя Дети напуганы Таблетки не помогают Короче, единственное что вытащило из запоя — вывод из запоя в стационаре наркологии с палатой Положили в палату В общем, не потеряйте контакты — запой стационар анонимно https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-v-staczionare-nizhnij-novgorod-jkp.ru Не ждите пока станет хуже Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации
Bookmark folder created specifically for this site, and a look at focusdrivenforward confirmed the dedicated folder was the right call, dedicated folders for individual sites are a level of organisation I rarely deploy and this site has earned that level of dedicated tracking based on the consistency I have seen so far across sessions.
Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at forwardmotionclarified added more material worth passing along, the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.
Доброго времени Мой брат уже неделю в запое Мать рыдает Никакие таблетки не помогают Короче, единственное что реально помогло — быстрый вывод из запоя в стационаре за 3 дня Положили в палату В общем, телефон и цены тут — цена вывода из запоя в стационаре цена вывода из запоя в стационаре Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации
Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at directionclarifiesaction held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.
Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at directionanchorsaction reinforced that immediate quality, content that does not require a slow careful read to demonstrate value but rewards one anyway is content with real depth and this site has produced work of that demanding depth class.
Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at actiondefinespath confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.
Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at ideasgainclarity extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.
Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at claritypowersvelocity similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.
My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at actionanchorsprogress keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.
Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at growthmovesclearly kept me past breakfast time, content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.
Walked away with a clearer head than I had before reading this, and a quick visit to growthmoveswithdesign only sharpened that, the writing has a way of cutting through the noise that surrounds most topics online which is something I will definitely remember the next time I am searching for an answer to anything.
A piece that ended with a clean landing rather than fading out, and a look at ideasfinddirection maintained the same crisp conclusions, endings that resolve rather than dissolve are a sign of careful structural thinking and this site has clearly invested in how its pieces conclude rather than letting them simply run out of energy.
Worth saying that this is one of the better things I have read on the topic in months, and a stop at clarityanchorsaction reinforced that ranking, the topic is well covered by many sources but few do it with this level of care and the few that do deserve to be flagged so other readers can find them.
Picked up on several small touches that suggest a careful editor, and a look at claritybuildsmomentum suggested the same hand at work across the broader site, editorial consistency at a granular level is one of the strongest signs that an operation is serious rather than just hobbyist and this site reads as serious throughout.
Reading this felt productive in a way most internet reading does not, and a look at blog44force continued that productive feeling, sometimes the open web feels like a waste of time but sites like this remind me why I still bother to look around rather than retreating to old reliable sources for everything I need.
Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at progressbuildsforward kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to whenever I need a sensible take on similar topics in the days ahead and also during slower work weeks.
