<P> The Nobel Prize in Chemistry (Swedish: Nobelpriset i kemi) is awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to scientists in the various fields of chemistry . It is one of the five Nobel Prizes established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, who died in 1896 . These prizes are awarded for outstanding contributions in chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine . As dictated by Nobel's will, the award is administered by the Nobel Foundation and awarded by a committee that consists of five members elected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences . The first Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in 1901 to Jacobus Henricus van' t Hoff, of the Netherlands . Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award prize that has varied throughout the years . In 1901, van' t Hoff received 150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007 . The award is presented in Stockholm at an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death . </P> <P> At least 25 laureates have received the Nobel Prize for contributions in the field of organic chemistry, more than any other field of chemistry . Two Nobel Prize laureates in Chemistry, Germans Richard Kuhn (1938) and Adolf Butenandt (1939), were not allowed by their government to accept the prize . They would later receive a medal and diploma, but not the money . Frederick Sanger is one out of two laureates to be awarded the Nobel prize twice in the same subject, in 1958 and 1980 . John Bardeen is the other and was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1956 and 1972 . Two others have won Nobel Prizes twice, one in chemistry and one in another subject: Maria Skłodowska - Curie (physics in 1903, chemistry in 1911) and Linus Pauling (chemistry in 1954, peace in 1962). As of 2017, the prize has been awarded to 177 individuals, including four women: Maria Skłodowska - Curie, Irène Joliot - Curie (1935), Dorothy Hodgkin (1964), and Ada Yonath (2009). There have been eight years in which the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was not awarded . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Laureate </Th> <Th> Country </Th> <Th> Rationale </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1901 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Jacobus Henricus van' t Hoff </Td> <Td> Netherlands </Td> <Td> "(for his) discovery of the laws of chemical dynamics and osmotic pressure in solutions" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1902 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Hermann Emil Fischer </Td> <Td> Germany </Td> <Td> "(for) his work on sugar and purine syntheses" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1903 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Svante August Arrhenius </Td> <Td> Sweden </Td> <Td> "(for) his electrolytic theory of dissociation" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1904 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Sir William Ramsay </Td> <Td> United Kingdom </Td> <Td> "(for his) discovery of the inert gaseous elements in air, and his determination of their place in the periodic system" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1905 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Adolf von Baeyer </Td> <Td> Germany </Td> <Td> "(for) the advancement of organic chemistry and the chemical industry, through his work on organic dyes and hydroaromatic compounds" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1906 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Henri Moissan </Td> <Td> France </Td> <Td> "(for his) investigation and isolation of the element fluorine, and for (the) electric furnace called after him" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1907 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Eduard Buchner </Td> <Td> Germany </Td> <Td> "for his biochemical researches and his discovery of cell - free fermentation" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1908 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Ernest Rutherford </Td> <Td> United Kingdom New Zealand </Td> <Td> "for his investigations into the disintegration of the elements, and the chemistry of radioactive substances" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1909 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Wilhelm Ostwald </Td> <Td> Germany </Td> <Td> "(for) his work on catalysis and for his investigations into the fundamental principles governing chemical equilibria and rates of reaction" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1910 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Otto Wallach </Td> <Td> Germany </Td> <Td> "(for) his services to organic chemistry and the chemical industry by his pioneer work in the field of alicyclic compounds" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1911 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Maria Skłodowska - Curie </Td> <Td> Poland France </Td> <Td> "(for) the discovery of the elements radium and polonium, by the isolation of radium and the study of the nature and compounds of this remarkable element" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1912 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Victor Grignard </Td> <Td> France </Td> <Td> "for the discovery of the (...)
