Abstract
Daniel Berthelot (1865-1927) used the electrical conductivity method to carry on fundamental research on the chemical equilibrium present in highly diluted electrolyte solutions, using the electrical conductivity method. In this way he was able to follow the kinetic details, particularly of the processes taking place in normal or pathological fluids of a living organism. He developed the so-called neutralization curve method, which allowed by simple inspection to judge the march of the reaction. The Académie des Sciences of France awarded him the Jecker Prize for his achievements on the subject.
