Question

This scientist’s contributions to environmental science include an early iteration of panspermia theory in his book Worlds in the Making and his calculation of the Earth’s temperature changing (10[3])from geometrically (10[1])rising (-5[1])CO2 (10[1])concentration. (10[3])An equation named for this scientist sets (10[2])a (10[1])pre-exponential (10[2])factor times (10[2])e (10[1])to the negative activation energy (10[8])over (10[2])RT (10[4])equal (10[1])to (10[1])the (10[1])rate (10[2])constant. (10[4])This scientist (10[1])developed (10[1]-5[1])a definition based on whether substances (10[1])are proton donors or hydroxide donors (10[1]-5[1])that is often contrasted with (10[1])the Lewis (10[1]-5[1])and (-5[1])Brønsted-Lowry (10[4]-5[1])definitions. (10[1]-5[2])For 10 points, a theory of acids and bases was developed by what chemist from Sweden? ■END■ (10[5]0[4])
