1 I | much is land and so much is water; and by looking at it here 2 I | of matter which we call water - it is there ice [pointing 3 I | ice upon the table], there water - [pointing to the water 4 I | water - [pointing to the water boiling in a flask] - here 5 I | suppose that that ice and that water are two entirely different 6 I | different from the fluid water: it may be different in 7 I | nevertheless, as the great ocean of water around our globe, and I 8 I | refer. For instance, here is water - it is heavy; but let us 9 I | but if I now take some water and pour it in, you see 10 I | if this vessel would hold water enough to weigh it down. [ 11 I | The lecturer poured more water into the jar, which again 12 I | above the vessel to pour the water into it? You will say, because 13 I | a law of nature that the water should fall toward the earth, 14 I | which I use to cause the water to enter the vessel are 15 I | carry the whole body of water down. That power is what 16 I | the scales] a good deal of water gravitating toward the earth. 17 I | much as the whole of that water. See what a little there 18 I | is heavier than so much water [placing the metal in opposite 19 I | in opposite scales to the water]. What a wonderful thing 20 I | that it requires so much water as that [a half-pint vessel 21 I(2) | 21 1/2 times heavier than water. 22 I | the platinum], we find the water will balance that as well 23 I | powers.~ ~I have spoken of water, and first of all of its 24 I | are other properties of water. Here, for instance, is 25 I | quicklime, and if I add some water to it, you will find another 26 I | power and property in the water. 4 It is now very hot; it 27 I(3) | 2 1/2 times heavier than water. 28 I | happen without a force in the water to produce the result; but 29 I(4) | Power or property in water. This power - the heat by 30 I(4) | the heat by which the water is kept in a fluid state - 31 I(4) | insensible. When, however, the water changes its form, and, by 32 I | lecturer here poured some water over the white sulphate 33 I | time.] Here is the same water with a substance which heats 34 I | play by a leakage of the water into the barge. You see 35 I | by acting upon lime with water, and the power which water 36 I | water, and the power which water has of turning this salt 37 I | saw that in the case of water when I placed it in the 38 I | that power which caused the water to descend in the balance - 39 I | as I can change ice into water and water into steam. I 40 I | change ice into water and water into steam. I can convert 41 I | common temperatures, which water steam has not. If I add 42 I(5) | of copper deprived of its water of crystallization. To obtain 43 I | a glass jar, and poured water and then acid over them; 44 I | marble] steam, and that [water] steam, and all other steams, 45 I | balance, tried by pouring like water from one vessel to another, 46 I | how to hang a pail of water, by means of a stick, upon 47 I | what is more, the more water I put into the pail, the 48 II | powdered alum and some hot water, and mix them together, 49 II | will be separated by the water far more completely than 50 II | but then, being in the water, they will have the opportunity 51 II | which I have put into the water, and so separated that they 52 II | longer solid, will, as the water cools, come together and 53 II | together - both colorless as water. [The lecturer here mixed 54 II(7) | add powdered alum to hot water as long as it dissolves; 55 II | had been dropped into cold water [exhibiting a "Prince Rupert' 56 II(9) | mixed with a little weak gum water, and then spread over the 57 II | better in this bottle of water, and it is very likely the 58 II | oz. vial was filled with water, and a Rupert's drop placed 59 II | transmitted through the water to the sides of the bottle, 60 II(10) | melted green glass into cold water. They were not, as is commonly 61 II | Mr. Anderson pours some water, gently and steadily, into 62 II | steadily, into the basin, the water will attract the rays of 63 II | Mr. Anderson here poured water into the basin, and upon 64 II | basin when there was no water there, and you were unable 65 II | it; but when we poured in water the rays were attracted 66 II | that when you pour warm water upon glass you put a strain 67 III | powdered alum and warm water. Here is one of the basins 68 III | is. I will not pour the water from it, because it will 69 III | point to examine, and this water is again a very good substance 70 III | philosophers we call it all water, even though it be in the 71 III | ice or steam). Why is this water hard? [pointing to a block 72 III | while part of the solid water is becoming liquid, the 73 III | off. A certain part of the water is actually rising in steam, 74 III | quite cold.~Here is the water which we have produced by 75 III | temperature the particles of water increase in their mutual 76 III | attraction decreases and the water becomes steam. And exactly 77 III | diminished as to be liquid water? Well, in diminishing this 78 III | is always concerned when water passes from the solid to 79 III | am going to pour a little water on this board, and then 80 III | from the tray, and from the water underneath, and from the 81 III | will then find that the water beneath will be frozen - 82 III | liquid into a solid, e. g., water into ice, a corresponding 83 III | now (for what is true of water is true of every other liquid), 84 III | bubbling out through the water at the end; and so we learn 85 III | glass itself; and if I pour water quietly from a jug, I can 86 III | Again: let me put a little water on this piece of plate glass, 87 III | glass and put it on the water; there! the upper plate 88 III | of the particles of the water. Let me show you another 89 III | I take a little soap and water - not that the soap makes 90 III | makes the particles of the water more adhesive one for the 91 III | manner? Why, because the water of which it is composed 92 III | sieve, and yet it would hold water, owing to the cohesion.~ 93 III | now seen that the solid water can become fluid by the 94 III | continued applying heat to the water (as indeed happened with 95 III | form: when we make ice into water, we lessen its bulk; but 96 III | bulk; but when we convert water into steam, we increase 97 III | wished to convert steam into water and water into ice: in either 98 III | convert steam into water and water into ice: in either case 99 III | were to take a portion of water a cubic inch in bulk (A), 100 III | and yet it still remains water. You can easily imagine 101 III | produced by this force of water. I want you now to see another 102 III | regards heat that I did the water and the ether [putting a 103 III | understand that, if we take water as an illustration, whether 104 III | illustration, whether it be ice, or water, or steam, it is always 105 III | to be considered by us as water. Well, now prepare your 106 III | into the constitution of water beyond any that are afforded 107 III | Now here is a portion of water in this little vessel, C, 108 III | vessel, C, and besides the water there are two plates of 109 III | and I want to examine that water, and the state and the condition 110 III | would nevertheless remain water, and would return to the 111 III | these wires we can cause water to submit itself to this 112 III | at A and B), you see the water boiling in that little vessel ( 113 III | how I am converting the water into vapor; and if I take 114 III | vessel (E), and fill it with water, and put it into the trough 115 III | steam is brought near cold water, it would at once condense, 116 III | and return back again to water; this, then, can not be 117 III | bubbling through the cold water in this trough; but it is 118 III | to see in what way the water has been changed. And now, 119 III | large bell-jar (F) with water; and I propose letting the 120 III | that we can reproduce the water back again from the vapor 121 III | find that we have got the water back again; it will not 122 III | you how small a portion of water produced a very large volume 123 III | stop-cocks (H H H), the water will jump up, showing that 124 III | accumulate more and more of the water to which the gas has returned. 125 III | we can go on making from water a large bulk of permanent 126 III | we can reconvert it into water in this way. [Mr. Anderson 127 III | there is not very much water flowing down, but there 128 III | changing the condition of the water is this: that we are able 129 III | purpose I have here some more water in a slightly different 130 III | similar decomposition of the water at the two platinum plates. 131 III | drawing off particles from the water and sending them off, and 132 III | Something is coming out of the water there (at H) which burns [ 133 III | but what comes out of the water here (at O), although it 134 III | things, neither of them being water alone, but which we get 135 III | which we get out of the water. Water is therefore composed 136 III | we get out of the water. Water is therefore composed of 137 III | take an inverted tube of water and collect this gas (H), 138 III | itself. So now we see that water consists of two kinds of 139 III | attraction of iron for iron, water for water, wood for wood, 140 III | iron for iron, water for water, wood for wood, or like 141 III | chemically combine and produce water.~I must now show you a little 142 III | substances as well as from water; and we will now prepare 143 III | different jars filled with water, and when, by the application 144 III | decomposed, we will displace the water, and fill the jars with 145 III | jars with gas.~Now, when water is opened out in this way 146 III | which adds no matter to the water, it is changed in this way - 147 III | these two areas represent water, and these are always the 148 III | 9 Hydrogen . . . . 11.1~Water . . . . . 100.0~But oxygen 149 III | particles of hydrogen in the water; and you therefore know 150 III | you therefore know that water is composed of nine parts 151 III | 8 grains~_____ Water (steam)........ 69.3 " " ................... = 152 III(16)| nitric acid and a little water are added to some copper 153 IV | to the forces existing in water before we can have a clear 154 IV | overcame, drawing from the water two different substances, 155 IV | combination to reproduce water. Now I propose to-day to 156 IV | particles derived from the water which enable other bodies 157 IV | the other constituent of water, and, without embarrassing 158 IV | because it helps to generate water.) 17 I put into this retort 159 IV | into this retort some zinc, water, and oil of vitriol, and 160 IV | quite as effectually as the water will in that jar which is 161 IV | and just as I can pour water from one vessel into another 162 IV | with common air, and the water which forms the bubble carries 163 IV | very common things, air, water, the heaviest body, platinum, 164 IV | the weight of portions of water, air, and hydrogen of the 165 IV | Water.....................11943 | 166 IV | unite together they produce water, and you have seen the extraordinary 167 IV | bulk and appearance of the water so produced and the particles 168 IV | together without producing water; and it is curious to think 169 IV | oxygen and hydrogen to form water without knowing it. Take 170 IV | you will see how soon the water is produced. Look at that 171 IV | dimness and these drops are water, formed by the union of 172 IV(17) | Ydwp, "water," and yevvaw, "I generate." 173 IV | are two salts dissolved in water20. They are both colorless 174 IV(20) | Two salts dissolved in water. Sulphate of soda and chloride 175 IV | atmosphere, and even on water it will float about and 176 IV | of hydrogen went to form water, I meant this, that neither 177 IV | capable of burning under water. You know that we put it 178 IV | Now I have a vessel of water here, and am going to make 179 IV | putting this fuse under the water, and you will see whether 180 IV | you will see whether that water can extinguish it; here 181 IV | it is burning out of the water, and there it is burning 182 IV | it is burning under the water; and so it will continue 183 IV | power of changing ice into water and water into steam, you 184 IV | changing ice into water and water into steam, you have seen 185 IV | the neck which is under water, because the heat which 186 IV | were to put it into boiling water it would not go through 187 IV | stem of it is filling with water. Notice too, now, that although 188 IV | cool it, by dipping it into water, it goes through with perfect 189 IV(23) | washed with warm distilled water, and then carefully dried 190 V | iron, brass to brass, or water to water. Remember that 191 V | brass to brass, or water to water. Remember that we found, 192 V | we found, on looking into water, that there were particles 193 V | oxygen and reduce it to water, but it could not attract 194 V | it on the surface of some water (the needle will generally 195 VI | the zinc is pulling the water to pieces and setting free 196 VI | power of decomposing the water, but modifies it most curiously. 197 VI | charcoal poles down under water, and get our electric light 198 VI | there. There they are in the water, and you observe, when I 199 VI(24) | must be added to give the water a decided blue color.
