To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" But it gave a precipitate with silver nitrate ; and Cavendish, suspecting that this was silver nitrite, prepared some potassium nitrite by heating the nitrate ; on comparing the white precipitate which this solution gave with silver iv PHLOGISTICATED AIR 139 nitrate with that obtained from his " soap-lees, " he found them identical. There was therefore no " muriatic acid " present, which would have yielded chloride of silver, of appearance somewhat similar to the nitrite. As it had previously... been shown to be probable that phlogisticated air is nitrous air united with phlogiston, and that nitrous air is nitric acid united with phlogiston, " we may safely conclude that in the present experiments the phlogisticated air was enabled, by means of the electric spark, to unite to, or form a chemical combination with, the dephlo- gisticated air, and was thereby reduced to nitrous acid, which united to the soap-lees and formed a solution of nitre ; for in these experiments the two airs actually disappeared, and nitrous acid was actually formed in their room.
