...in this instrument ? I have already mentioned (chap. iv. 26) that oxygen and hydrogen gases combine in the proportion of one volume of oxygen to two volumes of hydrogen to form water. Now, from knowing this we can at once analyze atmospheric air by means of hydrogen gas... | |

...have, therefore, taken up four cubic inches of hydrogen ; that is to say — the gases have combined in the proportion of one volume of oxygen to two volumes of hydrogen. If they had been mixed exactly in that proportion, they would have disappeared altogether. The detonating... | |

...and presenting them both in their free state, we find it also to be composed of these two elements in the proportion of one volume of oxygen to two volumes of hydrogen. Here, for instance, is an apparatus by which I hope to be able to illustrate this. Here is a voltaic... | |

...which the one volume of chlorine and one volume of hydrogen can again be separated. The chlorine thus unites with one volume or equivalent of hydrogen,...hydrogen, and it is said that oxygen and its class are in-equivalent or bivalent, and the group is named, the dihydric class. Again, nitrogen unites with... | |
