Everything about Merle Randall totally explained
Merle Randall (
1888-
1950) was an American
physical chemist famous for his work, over the period of 25 years, in measuring
free energy calculations of compounds with
Gilbert N. Lewis. Together, their 1923 textbook
Thermodynamics and the Free Energy of Chemical Substances became a classic work in the field of
chemical thermodynamics.

Based on work by
J. Willard Gibbs, it was known that chemical reactions proceeded to an
equilibrium determined by the
free energy of the substances taking part. Using this theory Gilbert Lewis spent 25 years determining free energies of various substances. In
1923 he and Randall published the results of this study and formalizing chemical thermodynamics.
According to the Belgian thermodynamicist
Ilya Prigogine, their influential 1923 textbook led to the replacement of the term “
affinity” by the term “
free energy” in much of the English-speaking world.
Books
Other works by Randall include:
- Studies in Free Energy (1912)
- Elementary Physical Chemistry (1942)
