Happy Birthday Emil Erlenmeyer! The creator of everyone's favourite chemical flask was born on this day in 1825. Here's more about him and his other work: https://wp.me/p4aPLT-1TY

Infographic on Emil Erlenmeyer, born 28 June 1825. Erlenmeyer was the first person to isolate several organic compounds, and he invented the Erlenmeyer (or conical) flask. He was also the first to suggest double and triple bonds could form between carbon atoms. Erlenmeyer created the flask that takes his name in the late 1850s. It’s also known as a conical flask and is now a mainstay of the science laboratory. Erlenmeyer also investigated keto-enol tautomerism. His rule states that all alcohols with an OH group attached to a double-bonded carbon become aldehydes or ketones, as these are more stable.
