To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is a beautiful experi- ment which illustrates so remarkably this point, that I shall describe it. The experi- ment is as follows : — First take a few shreds of asbestos, saturate them with solution of chloride of platinum, dry them, and ignite to redness. By this operation the chloride of platinum will be decomposed, leaving a film of metallic platinum in the minute interstices of the asbestos. The function of this platinized asbestos is similar to that of spongy platinum and platinum bla...ck, already mentioned (p. 294). Next prepare an apparatus of the following description: — A gas jar is supplied with a stopcock, and a flexible tube in connection, by its other extremity, with a glass tube, blown into a bulb towards the middle, and terminating in a jet at its furthest extremity. Into the jar is transmitted a gaseous mixture of two volumes binoxide of nitrogen, and five volumes hydrogen : into the bulb is placed the platinized asbestos just described. As the pneumatic trough contains water, it follows that by depressing the jar, a flow of mixed gas will be determined along the tube and over Digiti zed by Google AFFINITIES OF OXTGEK AND NITEOGEN.
