You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Education and professorship==
He was born in [[Camden, New Jersey]] on November 16, 1881.<ref>((cite book |title=Biographical Index of Former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783–2002 |date=July 2006 |publisher=The Royal Society of Edinburgh |isbn=0-902-198-84-X |url=https://www.royalsoced.org.uk/cms/files/fellows/biographical_index/fells_indexp1.pdf |access-date=2016-10-27 |archive-date=2013-01-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130124115814/http://www.royalsoced.org.uk/cms/files/fellows/biographical_index/fells_indexp1.pdf |url-status=dead ))</ref>

Hildebrand graduated from the [[University of Pennsylvania]] in 1903. He served briefly in the faculty before going to the [[University of California, Berkeley]] as a chemistry instructor in 1913. Within five years he became an assistant professor. In 1918 he was elevated to associate professor before finally being granted full professorship in 1919.
On August 4, 1919, he was shot and wounded by a chemistry assistant angry at not being recommended for further advancement.<ref>((cite news| url=http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=SU19190805.2.6| title=Refused Position, Man Attempts Life Of Two Professors| work=[[The Sacramento Union]] |volume=209 |number=36 |date=August 5, 1919| page=1| access-date=April 4, 2016))</ref>

He was the dean of the College of Chemistry from 1949 through 1951 and retired from full-time teaching in 1952.<ref>((cite journal |journal= Annual Review of Physical Chemistry |volume= 14 |pages= 1–5 |year= 1963 |title= Fifty Years of Physical Chemistry in Berkeley |author= Hildebrand, J.&nbsp;H. |doi=10.1146/annurev.pc.14.100163.000245|bibcode = 1963ARPC...14....1H |doi-access=  ))</ref> Hildebrand Hall on the Berkeley campus is named for him.

==Accomplishments, discoveries, honors==
His 1924 monograph on the solubility of non-electrolytes, ''Solubility'', was the classic reference for almost half a century. In 1927, Hildebrand coined the term "[[regular solution]]" (to be contrasted with "[[ideal solution]]") and discussed their thermodynamic aspects in 1929. A regular solution is one involving no entropy change when a small amount of one of its components is transferred to it from an ideal solution of the same composition, the total volume remaining unchanged.  Hildebrand's many scientific papers and chemistry texts include ''An Introduction to Molecular Kinetic Theory'' (1963) and ''Viscosity and Diffusivity'' (1977). He received the Distinguished Service Medal in 1918 and the King's Medal (British) in 1948.

Hildebrand served on the council of the [[United States National Academy of Sciences|National Academy of Sciences]], of which he was a member,<ref>((Cite web |title=Joel H. Hildebrand |url=http://www.nasonline.org/member-directory/deceased-members/54591.html |access-date=2023-02-14 |website=www.nasonline.org))</ref> and was also a member of the Citizens Advisory Committee on Education to the California Legislature. He was elected to the [[American Philosophical Society]] in 1951.<ref>((Cite web |title=APS Member History |url=https://search.amphilsoc.org/memhist/search?creator=Joel+Hildebrand&title=&subject=&subdiv=&mem=&year=&year-max=&dead=&keyword=&smode=advanced |access-date=2023-02-14 |website=search.amphilsoc.org))</ref> Hildebrand made several discoveries of which the most notable was the introduction in the mid-1920s of [[helium]] and [[oxygen]] breathing mixtures to replace [[air]] for divers to alleviate the condition known as [[Decompression sickness|the bends]]. He realized that the problem was caused by [[nitrogen]] gas dissolved in blood at high [[pressure]], which was expelled too rapidly on return to the surface. Helium does not cause the same problem due to its much lower solubility in aqueous solutions such as blood. This discovery was later used to save the lives of 33 members of the [[submarine]] ''[[USS Sailfish (SS-192)|USS Squalus]]'' which went down in 1939.

Hildebrand won virtually every major prize in the field of chemistry except the [[Nobel Prize]]. The [[American Chemical Society]] created the [[Joel Henry Hildebrand Award]] in his honor for work pertaining to the field of theoretical and experimental chemistry of liquids. The first award was presented to Hildebrand himself in 1981 as part of the observances of his 100th birthday. He has been identified by Kantha in 2001, as one of the 35 centenarian scientists who belonged to an unusual cluster that was newly formed in the 20th century.

Hildebrand often said he most cherished his role as a teacher. In an interview conducted shortly before his 100th birthday, he observed: "Good teaching is primarily an art, and can neither be defined or standardized ... Good teachers are born ''and'' made; neither part of the process can be omitted."<ref>((cite journal |last=Pfaff |first=Timothy |title=An interview with Joel Hildebrand |journal=California Monthly |page=10 |date=October 1981))</ref> He remained committed to working with undergraduate students even at the age of 100. He came to his office on campus nearly every school day until declining health made it impossible.

Hildebrand was also active in the [[Sierra Club]], and was its president from 1937 through 1940. As a member he contributed to many important land-use reports about State and [[National Parks]] in California. He also managed the 1936 US Olympic Ski Team.

==Scientific contributions==
His study of the solubility of non-electrolytes led to his formation of the "[[Hildebrand solubility parameter]]"

: <math>\delta = \sqrt{(\Delta H_v - RT) / V_m}.</math>

The general idea is that a potential solute will be soluble in a solvent with a comparable value for <math>\delta</math>.
 
This work was then used in the formation of the more comprehensive "[[Hansen solubility parameter]]", which accounts not just for dispersion interactions between solvent and solute (as the Hildebrand parameter does), but also for hydrogen bonding and polar interactions – thus lifting the restriction of application to just non-polar species. Hansen shows great respect for Hildebrand and his work and indeed acknowledges that his work of the Hansen solubility parameter would not have been possible without the great contribution that Hildebrand made to this field.

Hildebrand was also outspoken on the manner in which small non-polar species exist in water. The dissolution of species such as methane in water is accompanied by both a negative enthalpy and a negative entropy. A common model for this behavior is the iceberg- or clathrate-type model, in which a network or cage of hydrogen-bonded water develops around the methane molecule. This explains the drop in enthalpy, since hydrogen bonding is increased compared to pure water, and the drop in entropy, since a solvent excluded volume has come into existence along with an ordered network of water molecules.

Hildebrand challenged this popular view in a series of papers((citation needed|date=May 2019)) in the late 1960s and 1970s and concluded that methane has a just a 40% lower diffusivity in water than in carbon tetrachloride. If water was enclatherated or in an iceberg-type structure, then he predicted that this diffusivity difference between water and carbon tetrachloride ought to be significantly larger.

This conflict of ideas still exists in the literature with publications between 2000 and 2010 for the clathrate-type hydrophobic hydration still being submitted in computer simulations of various types.((citation needed|date=May 2019)) There are papers, however, which cite Hildebrand's earlier criticisms of this model and suggest that hydrophobicity arises from the small size of water increasing the free energy required to develop a suitable cavity for certain solutes to occupy.((citation needed|date=May 2019))

With George Scatchard, Hildebrand developed an equation for excess molar volumes in mixtures.<ref>((cite journal |last=Scatchard |first=George |title=Change of volume on mixing and the equations for non-electrolyte mixtures |year=1937 |volume=33 |pages=160 |journal=[[Journal of the Chemical Society, Faraday Transactions|Transactions of the Faraday Society]] |doi=10.1039/tf9373300160 ))</ref><ref>((cite journal |last1=Hildebrand |first1=Joel H. |last2=Scott |first2=Robert S. |title=The Solubility of Nonelectrolytes |date=April 1951 |pages=619–620 |volume=55 |issue=4 |journal=[[The Journal of Physical Chemistry]] |doi=10.1021/j150487a027 ))</ref>
