<p>Max Bodenstein was born in Magdeburg on 15 July 1871 as the eldest son of Magdeburg merchant and brewer Franz Bodenstein (1834–1885) and his first wife Elise Meissner (1846–1876).
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Education">Education</h2></div>
<p>In 1888, Max Bodenstein enrolled at the University of Heidelberg at the age of 17 to study chemistry with <a href="Carl_Remigius_Fresenius" title="Carl Remigius Fresenius">Carl Remigius Fresenius</a>. On 25 October 1893, he received his PhD thesis: "<i>Über die Zersetzung des Jodwasserstoffes in der Hitze</i>" (On the degradation of hydrogen iodide in hot temperature), with <a href="Victor_Meyer" class="mw-redirect" title="Victor Meyer">Victor Meyer</a> as his supervisor at the <a href="University_of_Heidelberg" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Heidelberg">University of Heidelberg</a>.

</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Career">Career</h2></div>
<p>In 1896, Max Bodenstein returned to the <a href="University_of_Heidelberg" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Heidelberg">University of Heidelberg</a>, where he studied decomposition of <a href="Hydrohalic_acids" class="mw-redirect" title="Hydrohalic acids">hydrohalic acids</a> and their formation.
</p><p>In 1899, he habilitated with the theme: "<i>Gasreaktionen in der chemischen Kinetik</i>" (Gas reactions in chemical kinetics).
</p><p>In 1900, Max Bodenstein became Lecturer at the physicochemical institute of <a href="Wilhelm_Ostwald" title="Wilhelm Ostwald">Wilhelm Ostwald</a> at <a href="University_of_Leipzig" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Leipzig">University of Leipzig</a>. In 1904, he was appointed as Titularprofessor at the same institute.
</p><p>In 1906, he became associate professor at the <a href="University_of_Berlin" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Berlin">University of Berlin</a> and department head at the physicochemical institute of <a href="Walther_Nernst" title="Walther Nernst">Walther Nernst</a>.
</p><p>In 1908, he decided to change to the <a href="University_of_Hannover" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Hannover">University of Hannover</a> where he was appointed ordinary professor in electrochemistry and director of the <a href="Electrochemical" class="mw-redirect" title="Electrochemical">electrochemical</a> institute.

</p><p>In 1923, he returned to Berlin where he accepted to be ordinary professor of physical chemistry and director of the physicochemical institute after the retirement of Walther Nernst. He kept these positions until he retired in 1936.
</p><p>Max Bodenstein was also member of the "<i>German Atomgewichtskommission</i>" (German Commission of <a href="Atomic_Weight" class="mw-redirect" title="Atomic Weight">Atomic Weights</a>) and co-editor of the journal "<i>Physikalische Chemie</i>" (Physical chemistry).
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Contributions">Contributions</h2></div>
<p>Max Bodenstein is considered to be one of the founders of chemical kinetics.
</p><p>He started by detailed experimental work on the formation of hydrogen iodide. His technique was to mix hydrogen and iodine in a sealed tube, which he placed in a thermostat and held at a constant high temperature. The reaction eventually reached an <a href="Chemical_equilibrium" title="Chemical equilibrium">equilibrium</a>, at which the rate of formation of hydrogen iodide was equal to the rate of decomposition to the original reaction (H<sub>2</sub> + I<sub>2</sub> ≡ 2HI). The equilibrium mixture of hydrogen, iodine, and hydrogen iodide was frozen by rapid cooling, and the amount of hydrogen iodide present could be analyzed. Using different amounts of initial reactants, Bodenstein could vary the amounts present at equilibrium and verify the law of chemical equilibrium proposed in 1863 by <a href="Cato_Maximilian_Guldberg" title="Cato Maximilian Guldberg">Cato Maximilian Guldberg</a> and <a href="Peter_Waage" title="Peter Waage">Peter Waage</a>. His work, published in 1899, was one of the first equilibrium investigations over an extended temperature range.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Bodenstein also investigated in photochemistry, being first to demonstrate that, in the reaction of hydrogen with chlorine, the high performance could explain by means of a chain reaction. Future inventor of the gas chromatograph, <a href="Erika_Cremer" title="Erika Cremer">Erika Cremer</a> worked with Bodenstein at this time and wrote her dissertation on the hydrogen-chlorine chain reaction in 1927.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He explored in great detail the reaction mechanism of reaction between hydrogen and chlorine.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> With this research, he contributed to the understanding in light-induced chemical chain reactions and thus contributed to the photochemistry. In his kinetic studies,<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> he used the <a href="Steady_state_(chemistry)" title="Steady state (chemistry)">quasi-steady state approximation</a> to derive the <a href="Rate_equation" title="Rate equation">rate equation</a> of the reaction. When an <a href="Stepwise_reaction" class="mw-redirect" title="Stepwise reaction">overall reaction</a> is subdivided into <a href="Elementary_step" class="mw-redirect" title="Elementary step">elementary steps</a>, Bodenstein's quasi-steady state approximation neglects the variations in the concentrations of <a href="Reaction_intermediate" title="Reaction intermediate">reaction intermediates</a> by assuming that these will remain quasi-constant. These reactive intermediates can be radicals, carbenium ions, molecules in the excited state, etc.
</p><p><a href="Victor_Henri" title="Victor Henri">Victor Henri</a> wrote in 1902: "M. Bodenstein to whom I owe much valuable advice",<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> in particular on the kinetic description of the invertase enzyme. Thus, Bodenstein contributed to early research in enzyme kinetics. According to Henri and a later paper by Bodenstein himself,<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> in 1901 or 1902, he suggested the enzyme-kinetic rate law
v = V S / (mS + nP).
Henri corrected this into
v = V S / (1 + mS + nP) (both written in modern notation; S, substrate concentration, P, product concentration).
</p><p>The <i><a href="Bodenstein_number" title="Bodenstein number">Bodenstein number</a></i> (Bo), a dimensionless number that is often used to describe axial mixing in so-called axial-dispersion models for tubular reactors, is named after him. It represents the ratio between the convective transport to the transport by axial dispersion.
