Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted (; 22 February 1879 – 17 December 1947) was a Danish physical chemist, who developed the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory simultaneously with and independently of Martin Lowry. == Biography == Brønsted was born in Varde, Denmark on 22 February 1879.
In 1897, Brønsted began his studies as a chemical engineer at the Polytechnic Institute in Copenhagen.
After his first degree, Brønsted changed fields and received his magister degree in chemistry in 1902 from the University of Copenhagen.
In 1905, he became an assistant at the Chemical Institute and obtained his doctoral degree in 1908.
In 1905, he became an assistant at the Chemical Institute and obtained his doctoral degree in 1908.
In 1923, he recognized that acid–base reactions involved the transfer of a proton, from the acid (proton donor) to the base (proton acceptor).
Also in 1923, Gilbert N.
In the same year, Brønsted became a professor of physical and inorganic chemistry at the University of Copenhagen. In 1929, Brønsted was a visiting professor at Yale University.

In World War II, Brønsted's opposition to the Nazis led to his election to the Danish parliament in 1947, but he was too ill to take his seat and died shortly after the election. == Research == Early in his career, Brønsted studied chemical thermodynamics and later studied electrolyte solutions and carried out an extensive series of solubility measurements.
