...being 0-245, while that of carbonic acid is only 0-2103. When a mixture of carbonic oxide and oxygen, in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of the latter gas, is lighted, it explodes with about the same degree of violence as a mixture of hydrogen...

...much light, but with intense heat. The temperature may be increased by mixing 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 best to use...

...evident to the eye. By examining these gases, we shall find them, respectively, pure hydrogen and oxygen, in the proportion — of two volumes of the former to one of the latter. Agreeably to principles already explained, the oxygen (electro-negative) appears at the + electrode,...

...named from the formation of tcater which results on inflaming a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gases, in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of the latter gas. Hydrogen, a gaseoui metal ! Submitted to a pressure equal to 6.50 atmospheres, and allowed...

...permanganate in alkaline solution, convert it into oxalic acid and water. A mixture of chlorine and etlienc, in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of the latter, unite with an explosion on contact with flame, the union being attended with a copious deposition...

...with the known chemical composition of water, which is produced by combining together these two gases in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of the latter. The proportions of gases evolved, however, are not exactly two to one, for at first a very...

...permanganate in alkaline solution, convert it into oxalic acid and H,O. A mixture of 0l and ethene, in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of the latter, unite with an explosion on contact with flame, the union being attended with a copious deposition...

...iron. When heated to a red heat, sulphur trioxide is dissociated, forming sulphur dioxide and oxygen in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of the latter : — oo = oo = Sulphur trioxide is the anhydride of sulphuric acid and yields the latter on...

...lore during the chemistry lectures. They are taught, for instance, that when hydrogen and oxygen unite in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of the latter, the immediate result is not water. What happens is that they cease to be what they were, and...

...contaminated. Cavendish filled a graduated btll-jar with a mixture of hydro- FIG. 37. gtn and oxygen, in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one of oxygen, and he attached to the bell-jar a stout glass vessel, resembling the pear-shaped apparatus...
