Side 166 - ... which it could be subjected. Sulphurous acid froze into transparent and colourless crystals, of greater specific gravity than the liquid out of which they were formed. Sulphuretted hydrogen solidified in masses of confused crystals of a white colour, at a temperature of — 122° Fahr.
Side 147 - On the Epipolic Dispersion of Light ; being a Supplement to a paper entitled ' On a case of Superficial Colour presented by a Homogeneous Liquid internally colourless.
Side 254 - Its solution in concentrated sulphuric acid has a magnificent purple colour, and is decomposed by water. Nitric acid, with the aid of heat, attacks the oil with prodigious violence, evolving copious red fumes, and generating oxalic acid, which appears to be the only product. It dissolves in a solution of caustic potash, forming a deep brown liquid, from which acids precipitate a resinous matter. With a slight heat, it explodes when acted upon by metallic potassium.
Side 171 - ... except in my own experiments, and in them not at temperatures above 40° Fahr. The results with oxygen are so unsteady and contradictory as to cause doubt in regard to those obtained with the other gases by the same process. Thus, though as yet I have not condensed oxygen, hydrogen, or nitrogen, the original objects of my pursuit, I have added six substances, usually gaseous, to the list of those that could previously be shown in the liquid state, and have reduced seven, including ammonia, nitrous...
Side 155 - Thilorier, have left a constant desire on my mind to renew the investigation. This, with considerations arising out of the apparent simplicity and unity of the molecular constitution of all bodies when in the gaseous or vaporous state, which may be expected, according to the indications given by tho experiments of M.
Side iii - Angularity of the subjects, or the advantageous manner of treating them, without pretending to answer, or to make the Society answerable, for the certainty of the facts, or propriety of the reasonings, contained in the several Papers so published, - which must still rest on the credit or judgment of their respective Authors.
Side 128 - In Thibet, M. CSOMA DE KOROS mentions the occurrence of hot springs between U and Ts'ang. They are numerous in the mountains lying east from the Ma-p'-ham lake, especially at one place, where there is a hole out of which vapour continually issues, and at certain intervals, as in Iceland, hot water is ejected with great noise to the height of twelve feet. The water of the hot springs of Assam was found by Mr. J. PRINSEP to contain bitumen and sulphuretted hydrogen. One held in solution a portion of...
Side 176 - His experiments confirm the prevalence of the law that the force of vapour increases in a geometrical ratio for equal increments of heat, commencing at a given amount of pressure. The more volatile a body is, the more r'apidly does the force of its vapour increase by an augmentation of temperature, the increase of elasticity being directly as the volatility of the substance. By further and more accurate...
