...being equivalent to the original bulk of oxygen. The rationale of this will be evident when we consider that two volumes of hydrogen unite with one volume of oxygen to form water, and that to the production of water alone is the diminution referable. 5. By immersing... | |

...each other. We know that i gr. of hydrogen unites with 8 grs. of oxygen to form 9 grs. of water, and that two volumes of hydrogen unite with one volume of oxygen to form two volumes of the vapour of water. If we represent i gr. of hydrogen by H, and 8 grs. of oxygen... | |

...hydrogen burns in air, water is formed by the union of the gas with oxygen. In 17S1, Cavendish showed that two volumes of hydrogen unite with one volume of oxygen to form water. He made a mixture in this proportion in a jar, and then passed the gases into a strong... | |

...follows : — In 1805, Gay-Lussac and Humboldt, in investigating the volume composition of water, found that two volumes of hydrogen unite with one volume of oxygen to form two volumes of water-gas (see p. 193). This led Gay-Lusaac to make further researches on the relative... | |

...uncombined. Upon testing this remaining gas volume it is found to be pure hydrogen. These experiments show that two volumes of hydrogen unite with one volume of oxygen to form water, and any excess of either gas remains uncombined. Experiments have also proved that there... | |

...and pressures is 0'623 of the density of air — almost exactly the value obtained on the supposition that two volumes of hydrogen unite with one volume of oxygen to form one volume of steam. If it maintained the same relative density at 100° C. and 760 mm., its volume... | |

two volumes of hydrogen unite with one volume of oxygen to form two volumes of steam when the gases are all measured at the same temperature and pressure.
