To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
According to Eder's formulae, there are four varieties of soluble guncotton, viz., di-nitro-, tri-nitro-, tetra-nitro-, and penta-nitrocellulose, any one of which may be obtained by varying the strength of the acids, the temperature of the acid mixture, or the period of nitration. The acid mixture most generally adopted is as follows: HNO, (sp. gr. 1.44) I part H.SO, (sp. gr. 1.84) I '• During the process of nitration, which lasts from one-half to one and one-half hours, the temperature of the ...acid mixture is kept at about 40** C. In every other respect the process of conversion, extraction, washing, etc., is identical with that to be described in the following lecture. Nitro-hydrocellulose. — By treating cellulose with dilute sulphuric or hydrochloric acid, it absorbs water and is reduced to a very fine powder, in which form it is very readily nitrated. The resulting powder is called hydrocellulose (Aim^ Girard), and the nitrated product obtained by treating it with nitric acid is known as nitro-hydrocellulose.
