DR. A. SCOTT ON THE COMPOSITION OF WATER BY VOLUME.

Hydrogen, second volume—

millims.
Height of mercury in manometer tube = 155.0
Height of mercury in manometervolume tube = 145.5
Height of mercury Correction + 9.5
Pressure of aqueous vapour = 013.2
Pressure of Capillarity correction = 003.9
017.1
Barometer 791.7 − 28.0 = 763.7
Pressure of hydrogen = 763.7 + 9.5 − 17.1 = 756.1

Temperature = 15.70° C.

The oxygen volume and the first hydrogen volume were measured in the afternoon, the second hydrogen volume in the evening. This is why there is such a difference in the temperature and barometric pressure in the latter case.

Volume of residue, 6.5 = 15.3.

millims.
Height of mercury in manometer tube = 127.1
Height of mercury in manometervolume tube = 562.7
Height of mercury Correction 435.6
Pressure of aqueous vapour = 013.3
Pressure of Capillarity correction = 00.1
= 013.4
Barometer 791.4 − 28.2 = 763.2
Pressure of hydrogen = 763.2 − 435.6 − 13.4 = 314.2

Temperature = 15.80° C.

These volumes, when reduced to 0° C, and 760 millims. pressure, become—

For the oxygen 3826.3 × 753.3/760.0 × 273.00/288.92 = 3396.4
For the hydrogen 3826.3 × 753.6/760.0 × 273.00/288.97 = 3397.0
For the hydrogen 3826.3 × 756.1/760.0 × 273.00/288.70 = 3411.5
For the residueTotal hydrogen volume 6808.5
For the residue (hydrogen) 15.3 × 314.2/760.0 × 273.00/288.80 = 5.98=6.0
For the residueHydrogen used = 6802.5
