Ernst Gottfried Fischer

Ernst Gottfried Fischer (17 July 1754 – 27 January 1831) was a German chemist.

After studying theology and mathematics at the University of Halle, he was a teacher in Berlin before becoming Professor of Physics in 1810.

He translated Claude Berthollet's publication Recherches sur les lois de l'affinitié in 1802.

He proposed a system of equivalents based on sulfuric acid equal to one hundred.

Jeremias Benjamin Richter's work had little impact until 1802, when it was summarized by Fischer in terms of tables, such as the one below.
