Page 12 - The smallest proportion by weight in which the element enters into or is expelled from a chemical compound, — the smallest weight of hydrogen so entering or leaving a chemical compound being taken as unity.
Page xiv - H2 in dibasic acids exclude the possibility of acid salts, unless two molecules of acid enter into the reaction. The reaction with litmus is obviously no criterion of the normal or acid constitution of a salt. " When the number of bonds of the metal or compound positive radical in a salt exceeds the number of atoms of displaceable hydrogen in the acid, the compound is usually termed a basic salt,

Page 82 - In other tables Snell seeks to prove that a ventilation of over 12,000 cubic feet per man abolishes illness. He points out that candles smoke in compressed air, but cease to do so if put within a lamp chimney so as to increase the draught. As the velocity of diffusion of a gas varies inversely as the square root of the density, he attributes the smokiness of the candle to the slow diffusion of the products of combustion.
