| English abstract | Pierre-Antoine Favre (1813-1880), a physician turned chemist, carried on extensive research in the areas of thermochemistry, electrolysis, dissolution of salts, and adsorption and condensation of gases on solids. Among his many achievements we can mention the determination of the atomic mass of zinc, the fact that the combustion of carbon in any state always produces a certain amount of CO, and determination of the mechanical equivalent of heat |
