Page xii - Cavendish, namely, that, as nearly as possible, two volumes of hydrogen combine with one volume of oxygen to form water, the gases having been measured at the same temperature and pressure.
Page 141 - The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the gases in the mixture.
Page 123 - On partially liquefying carbonic acid by pressure alone, and gradually raising at the same time the temperature to 88° Fahr., the surface of demarcation between the liquid and gas became fainter, lost its curvature, and at last disappeared. The space was then occupied by a homogeneous fluid, which exhibited, when the pressure was suddenly diminished or the temperature slightly lowered, a peculiar appearance of moving or flickering striae throughout its entire mass.
Page xi - ... expeditiously by heating the substance, mixed with chlorate of potassium and sodium chloride, and then estimating the hydrogen a,s well as the carbon. This process was afterwards perfected by Liebig. Berzelius, however, was able to show that compounds of carbon, like those of other elements, were instances of combination in constant and multiple proportions. In 1815 two papers were published in the Annals of Philosophy by Dr. Prout which have had much influence on the progress of chemistry. They...
Page x - ... he regarded the former as a compound of one atom of carbon and two of hydrogen, and the latter as a compound of one atom of carbon and one of hydrogen, and similarly for the two oxides of carbon. Knowing the relative weights in which these elements enter into combination, he deduced what he supposed were the relative weights of the atoms.
