Oxygen and hydrogen are particles 4 III | we will now prepare some oxygen: here is another substance 5 III | substance which contains oxygen - chlorate of potash; I 6 III | quantity, and the other gas, oxygen, is evolved in only half 7 III | proportions between the two gases.~Oxygen . . . . . 88.9 Hydrogen . . . . 8 III | Water . . . . . 100.0~But oxygen is sixteen times the weight 9 III | of hydrogen and eight of oxygen; thus:~Hydrogen .......... 10 III | 1 grain ~Oxygen ............. 23.1 " " .................................. = 11 III | Anderson has prepared some oxygen, and we will proceed to 12 III | plunge it into the jar of oxygen, and you will see what this 13 III | that will not happen in oxygen gas; you will see how differently 14 III | introduced into a jar of oxygen.] Look at that! See how 15 III | so powerfully does the oxygen support combustiot. Again, 16 III | if I may so call it, of oxygen. I have here a circular 17 III | effect produced by air and oxygen. If I take this ring flame, 18 III | the flame over a jar of oxygen [the experiment was repeated 19 III | was repeated over a jar of oxygen, when the combustion of 20 III | filings as they fell into the oxygen became almost insupportably 21 III | jar, because there we have oxygen instead of common air.~ ~ 22 III(16)| air, by combining with the oxygen of the latter to form hyponitrous 23 III(16)| composed of two parts of oxygen and one part of nitrogen; 24 III(16)| nitrogen and three parts of oxygen. 25 IV | considered the character of oxygen, of which I have here two 26 IV | which I have here two jars (oxygen being those particles derived 27 IV | appearance exactly like the oxygen we obtained yesterday.~The 28 IV | other properties. Unlike oxygen, which is a supporter of 29 IV | entirely different from oxygen; it is extremely light; 30 IV | one-eighth the weight of the oxygen. I carry this jar upside 31 IV | Whenever oxygen and hydrogen unite together 32 IV | been able to reduce either oxygen or hydrogen to the liquid 33 IV | experiment of combining oxygen and hydrogen to form water 34 IV | formed by the union of the oxygen of the air with the hydrogen 35 IV | instance: here are some oxygen particles, and here is a 36 IV | carbon particles into the oxygen; they can act, but they 37 IV | substance, gaseous like the oxygen, and if I put these particles 38 IV | affinity between the carbon and oxygen, for the moment I choose 39 IV | introduced into the jar of oxygen, when the combustion proceeded 40 IV | combustion of charcoal in oxygen? You must understand that 41 IV | thrown off white hot into the oxygen, and burning in it most 42 IV | some charcoal burning in oxygen. Well, a piece of lead will 43 IV | piece of lead will burn in oxygen just as well as the charcoal 44 IV | will act at once upon the oxygen as the copper did in the 45 IV | light it and put it into the oxygen, it will burn away just 46 IV | in the common atmospheric oxygen at the ordinary temperature. 47 IV | atmosphere a part of the oxygen there present, and have 48 IV | iron burning very well in oxygen, and I will tell you the 49 IV | lead and the atmospheric oxygen; and the reason why this 50 IV | stops the action of the oxygen - putting a varnish, as 51 IV | of potash containing the oxygen which we found yesterday 52 IV | from it; it contains the oxygen there combined and held 53 IV | enough to say for want of oxygen.~This, therefore, leads 54 IV | the inquiry as to whether oxygen can do more than a certain 55 IV | certain amount of work. The oxygen there can not go on burning 56 IV | of force exerted by this oxygen. And when I pointed out 57 IV | that eight by weight of oxygen to one by weight of hydrogen 58 IV | hydrogen to combine with six of oxygen, or ten of oxygen to combine 59 IV | six of oxygen, or ten of oxygen to combine with six of hydrogen; 60 IV | hydrogen; it must be eight of oxygen and one of hydrogen. Now 61 IV | which the cotton has for the oxygen; but suppose I set fire 62 IV | have limited the supply of oxygen, and the inside is prevented 63 IV | from having access to the oxygen, just as it was in the case 64 IV | which has been imbued with oxygen in a certain manner. I need 65 IV | from the other, because the oxygen which must be present in 66 IV | imbued with bodies containing oxygen. Here is some which has 67 IV | goes on independent of the oxygen of the atmosphere. And here 68 IV | atmosphere with shot, and yet the oxygen which it contains supplies 69 IV | the requisite amount of oxygen being contained within the 70 V | hydrogen could attract the oxygen and reduce it to water, 71 V | chemical affinity to the oxygen in the atmosphere. Now all 72 VI | between the zinc and the oxygen of the air. I will show 73 VI | the zinc and burn it in oxygen gas for the sake of showing 74 VI | the actual combustion in oxygen gas of some of this metal. [ 75 VI | introduced into a jar of oxygen, when it burnt with a brilliant 76 VI | combustion of the zinc in oxygen, is carried along these 77 VI | zinc would give if burnt in oxygen; but, as it is being burnt 78 VI(24) | liberated hydrogen withdrawing oxygen from the indigo, thereby
