Graham, Thomas

[]

Scottish physical chemist (1805-1869) born in Glasgow. Graham first quantified the principles of diffusion by studying gases passing through plugs, tubes, and small openings. His research resulted in Graham's Law, which states that the rates at which two gases diffuse is inversely proportional to the square root of their densities.
