 2 III|       union of carbon with the oxygen of the air, taking place
 3 III|     force acts; the carbon and oxygen atoms strike against each
 4 III|     the atoms of carbon and of oxygen performs work just as much
 5 III|        action. When carbon and oxygen atoms have rushed against
 6 III|    pound of carbon burned with oxygen to form carbonic acid, gives
 7 III|      stead, and in that of the oxygen, the gaseous product of
 8 III|     and the entire quantity of oxygen, and also the force of affinity
 9 III|        the atoms of carbon and oxygen firmly united; they can
10 III|   combination of hydrogen with oxygen, a very considerable quantity
11 III|      completely saturated with oxygen. The force of affinity,
12 III|     therefore, of hydrogen for oxygen, like that of carbon for
13 III|        like that of carbon for oxygen, performs work in combustion,
14 III|  hydrogen on the one hand, and oxygen of the other. The gases

16 III|     atmospheric air, where the oxygen mixed with nitrogen is only
17 III|        the gases, hydrogen and oxygen, which have been liberated
18 III|       a fresh combination with oxygen; its affinity for oxygen
19 III|       oxygen; its affinity for oxygen has regained for it its

23 III|       of the zinc uniting with oxygen and acid to water in the
24 III| chemical force of hydrogen and oxygen.~In this case, we can restore
25 III|         we obtain hydrogen and oxygen, though in far smaller quantity
