Page 34 - ... be the elasticity of the air within the tube, the introduction of the water always gave an additional depression of half an inch. From this result the important fact is deduced that the tension or elastic force of vapor in air is the same as that of vapor in a vacuum; from which we might also infer that the quantity of vapor which can exist in a given space already occupied with air is the same as that which can exist in a vacuum at the same temperature. But this fact may be directly proved by...

This may readily be formed by submitting the metal to a strong heat in the open air. It takes fire and burns with a blue flame, while the oxide falls down in the form of powder. Bismuth is not readily soluble in the muriatic or sulphuric acids, but the nitric acid dissolves it with facility, forming nitrate of bismuth. When nitrate of bismuth, either...
Page 140 - The resistance of each element is directly proportional to the distance of the plates from each other in the 'liquid, and to the specific resistance of the liquid, and is also inversely proportional to the surface of the plates in contact with the liquid. The resistance of the connecting wire of the circuit is directly proportional to its length and to its specific resistance, and inversely proportional to its section.
