 1 II |          burning a pound of pure carbon into carbonic acid - is
 2 III|  originates in the combustion of carbon - that is to say, in a chemical
 3 III|         is the chemical union of carbon with the oxygen of the air,
 4 III|  combustion this force acts; the carbon and oxygen atoms strike
 5 III|  attraction between the atoms of carbon and of oxygen performs work
 6 III|       from chemical action. When carbon and oxygen atoms have rushed
 7 III|       And this is so. A pound of carbon burned with oxygen to form
 8 III|    produced by the combustion of carbon, whether this is slow or
 9 III|      successive stages.~When the carbon is burned, we obtain in
10 III|      acid the entire quantity of carbon and the entire quantity
11 III|          to holding the atoms of carbon and oxygen firmly united;
12 III|       extraneous force. When the carbon has been burnt we take no
13 III|     which can be burnt just like carbon. Hydrogen with carbon is
14 III|       like carbon. Hydrogen with carbon is a constituent of all
15 III| combustion of the same weight of carbon. The product of combustion
16 III|         for oxygen, like that of carbon for oxygen, performs work
17 III|         cylinder of very compact carbon. In the middle of the carbon
18 III|     carbon. In the middle of the carbon cylinder is a cylindrical
19 III|         by a metal ring with the carbon cylinder of the next vessel,
20 III|    platinum plate, and the first carbon cylinder, p, with the other
21 III|      surrounding the cylinder of carbon, which is very rich in it,
