carbon dioxide vanished as an ordinary imparity, and the total impurity fell away to a very small amount indeed.

In the following Tables the following data are given:—

  • Column A gives the number of the experiment.
  • Column B gives the date on which it was performed.
  • Column C gives the hydrogen volume as measured and corrected to 0° C + 760 millims.
  • Column D gives the hydrogenoxygen volume as measured and corrected to 0° C + 760 millims.
  • Column H gives the hydrogen in residue.
  • Column O gives the hydrogenoxygen in residue.
  • Column N gives the impurity, determined by potash and pyrogallol.
  • Column R gives the ratio of combining volume of hydrogen to that of oxygen when the impurity was assumed to be equally distributed in both gases.
  • Column S gives the ratio of combining volume of hydrogen to that of oxygen when the impurity was supposed to be all in the hydrogen.
  • Column T gives the source of the hydrogen.
  • Column W gives the source of the oxygen.
