...one, so that water is demonstrated both by synthesis and analysis to be formed of hydrogen and oxygen, in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of the latter. 353. Under the word WATER, in the body of the work, we shall enter into a disquisition on its...

...from moisture or prussic acid retained between the plates of the salt, are carbonic acid and azote in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of the latter. But though its constituents be thus correctly made out, I am not aware that any chemist has...

...made to pass through a red-hot porcelain tube, it is decomposed into sulphurous acid and oxygen gases, in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of the latter. Freezing. "When exposed to n sufficient degree of cold, it crystallizes or freezes ; and after...

...of space above the fluid within the can or lamp was large, and always in the presence of flame. (4) A mixture of hydrogen (an inflammable gas) with oxygen...eminently explosive, (c) Atmospheric air, substituted for axygen, lessens the violence of the explosion when flame is applied, (d) The carbo-hydrogen, employed...

...temperature is kept low, ammonia unites with sulphur dioxide, especially if the ammonia is in excess, in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of the latter (p. 330), but since, at the ordinary temperature, this union is immediately followed by a decomposition...

...without much light, but intense heat. The temperature may be increased by mixing the hydrogen and oxygen in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of the latter, and burning it from a safety jet. This is called the oxyhydrogen blowpipe. It is, perhaps,...
