What are ostwald's life stories?

Ostwald (1853— 1932), Russian chemist. He won the 1909 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his achievements in studying catalysts, putting forward the principle of chemical equilibrium and reaction rate, and inventing the method of ammonia oxidation to produce nitric oxide.

Ostwald was born in Riga, the Latvian capital on the Baltic Sea. My parents are descendants of German immigrants, and my father makes wooden barrels for a living. He once roamed Russia. For the sake of a better life for the next generation, the father is determined to train his children well.

There is a small river not far from home, and the children nearby have almost nothing interesting to do except play by the river. These children live too leisurely, just like small fish swimming in the river. A little novelty immediately aroused their excitement.

Ll 18 years old, ostwald came across a book about making fireworks. The name of the chemical is mentioned in the book, and the chemical formula is also marked. He groped for himself and tried to make fireworks. His parents are very supportive of his behavior. Mother gave him all the pocket money saved to buy chemicals such as saltpeter and sulfur, and also gave him utensils such as mortar and sieve in the kitchen. After careful consideration, my father vacated a room in the basement to do experiments for him. But even so, there is still not enough money to buy flasks, glass tubes and other instruments used to make concentrated nitric acid. Ostwald earned money by odd jobs. After preparing the minimum medicines and instruments, he carefully operated according to the instructions and illustrations in the book, tried again and again, and finally succeeded in creating the fireworks he had been longing for for for a long time. Ostwald was overjoyed to see colorful fireworks flying into the night sky.

After the fireworks were made successfully, he began to consider making rockets, but it was more difficult and dangerous to make rockets. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't hold back his excitement and decided to make it. With the joint efforts of friends, a decent rocket was made successfully, but where to launch it? After discussion, friends think it should be launched in the chimney pipe, which may not cause harm. The rocket was successfully launched and it went straight to the chimney.

Later, ostwald fell in love with photography again, but he didn't have any photographic equipment at hand, so he had to start from scratch. He used his father's empty cigar box as the camera box, his mother's opera telescope as the lens, cardboard coated with medicine as the developing paper, and glass on the pane as the bottom plate. When he couldn't buy chemicals locally, he tried to replace them with something easy to buy. What made ostwald accidentally take a photo was a hopeless absurdity. He is even more excited than when fireworks are set off. He hasn't had a chemistry class yet, but he knows a lot of chemistry knowledge after class and has embarked on his own scientific road. Various hobbies distracted his time and energy. Ostwald must study in a five-year middle school for seven years.

Ostwald studied the catalytic process of chemical reaction, using catalyst to synthesize ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen at high temperature, and then oxidizing ammonia into nitric acid by catalysis. Therefore, ostwald won the 1909 Nobel Prize in chemistry.
