Abstract

Thomas Andrews (1813-1885) performed important research in the area of thermochemistry, thermodynamics
of phase equilibrium, and the nature and properties of ozone. His work on the heat of reaction between acids and bases is
notable for its high technique and good numerical results, in spite of having been done at the time before the advent of
the Arrhenius theory and when the law of conservation of energy were unknown. His most important contributions are
the establishment of the critical state in vapor-liquid equilibrium, the continuity in the change of state, the correct definition
of the concepts of vapor and gas, and the fact that ozone is an aIlotropic state of oxygen
