...volumes, the oxygen 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...

...on evidence which we shall presently adduce, is now known to be a compound substance, consisting of hydrogen and oxygen, in the proportion of two volumes of the former gas and one volume of the latter ; or by weight it is composed of 1 equivalent of hydrogen, 1, + 1...

...flame. (4) A mixture of hydrogen (an inflammable gas) with oxygen (an ingredient of atmospheric air), in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of the latter, is eminently explosive, (c) Atmospheric air, substituted for axygen, lessens the violence of...

...flame. (J) A mixture of hydrogen (an inflammable gas) with oxygen (an ingredient of atmospheric air), in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of the latter, is eminently explosive. (c) Atmospheric air, substituted for oxygen, lessens the violence of...

...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...

...composed of hydrogen and oxygen- in the proportion ol one pound of hydrogen ta eighf. of oxygen, or of two volumes of the former to one of the latter; and, as hydrogen is combustible, and oxygen a supporter of combustion, nothing but an easy method of decomposition...

...a pale blue flame without much light, but intense heat. The temperature may be increased by mixing hydrogen and oxygen in the proportion of two volumes...blowpipe. It is, perhaps, best to use two separate gas-holders for this experiment. When hydrogen is mixed with common air or pare oxygen, it is highly...

...formula for water, according to this system, must therefore be H, O,* because hydrogen and oxygen combine in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of the latter element, to form water. The atomic weights in this system are the same as those in the former...
