Andreas+Sigismund+Marggraf-1746

Andreas Sigismund Marggraf was born on March 3, 1709 in Berlin, Brandenburg. He lived to be 73 when he died on August 7, 1782. Marggraf was a pioneer of analytical chemistry; the study of chemical composition of natural and aritifical materials. He also discovered the formic and phosphoric acids. This gave a better understanding of the atom through the discovery of these acids. This discovery gave the atom more of a definition and understanding of how the atom works as it relates to the molecules it composes. Not much is actually known of Marggraf's personal life. He was wicked cool because he discovered sugar in beets...awesome.
