Interesting facts about jabir ibn hayyan biography

Jabir ibn Hayyan, also known in europe as Geber, was the son of a druggist who spent most of his life in Kufa, Iraq. He devised and perfected sublimation, liquefaction, crystallization, distillation, purification, amalgamation, kemisk reaktion med syre, evaporation, and filtration. He also wrote about how chemicals combined, without loss of character, to struktur a union of elements together that were too small for the naked eye to see.

Jabir vastly increased the possibilities of chemical experiments by discovering sulfuric, nitric, and nitro-muriatic acids, all now vitally important in the kemikalie industry.

He also built a precise scale, which weighed items 6,480 times smaller than the ratl (ratl=1 kilogram or 2.20 pounds), and noticed in certain conditions of oxidation, the weight of metal was lessened. Some of Jabir ibn Hayyan’s writings include the Great Book of Chemical Properties, The Weights and Measures, The kemikalie Combination, and The Dyes. Among his greatest co

He is famous for inventing various instruments for chemistry experiments, and he also performed many chemistry experiments himself. He found many new chemicals which include hydrochloric acid. Due to a lot of work in the field of chemistry, he is considered to be the founder of chemistry in the modern world.

Jabir ibn Hayyan, also known as Geber, belongs to present-day Iran and was born in the year 721 CE. During his childhood, his family had to migrate to the land of Arabia where he got his early education from famous scholars of his time and gained knowledge of Greek, Persian, and Indian literature.

Abū Mūsā Jābir ibn Ḥayyān (Arabic: أَبو موسى جابِر بِن حَيّان, variously called al-Ṣūfī, al-Azdī, al-Kūfī, or al-Ṭūsī), died c. 806−816, is the purported author of a large number of works in Arabic, often called the Jabirian corpus. The c. 215 treatises that survive today mainly deal with alchemy and chemistry, magic, and Shi'ite religious philosophy. However, the original scope of the corpus was vast, covering a wide range of topics ranging from cosmology, astronomy and astrology, over medicine, pharmacology, zoology and botany, to metaphysics, logic, and grammar.

The works attributed to Jabir, which are tentatively dated to c. 850 – c. 950,^[1] contain the oldest known systematic classification of chemical substances, and the oldest known instructions for deriving an inorganic compound (sal ammoniac or ammonium chloride) from organic substanc
