Winner of the inaugural Nobel Prize in Chemistry

Van 't Hoff became a lecturer in chemistry and physics at the Veterinary College in Utrecht. Eventually he moved to the chairmanship of the chemistry department at the University of Amsterdam, finishing his career at the University of Berlin from 1896 to 1911. In 1901 he received the first Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work with solutions. This can generally be summarized by stating that very dilute solutions follow mathematical laws that closely resemble the laws describing the behavior of gases.
