Page 124 - ... mix a kilogram of water at 80° with a kilogram of ice or snow at 0°, we in like manner obtain two kilograms of water ; but its temperature is not 40°, it is exactly 0°. All the heat which the kilogram of water at 80° has given out in cooling from 80° to 0°, has completely disappeared — that is, it is no longer recognizable by the thermometer. This amount of heat has been sufficient, however, to convert ice or snow at 0° into water at 0° ; in other words, the heat has been used in doing...
Page 281 - If a fine tube is filled one-half with liquid bromine and one-half with the vapour of bromine, and after being hermetically sealed is gradually heated till the temperature is above the critical point, the whole of the bromine becomes quite opaque, and the tube has the aspect of being filled with a dark red and opaque resin.
Page 103 - ... the following general law : that, under equal circumstances of temperature, water takes up, in all cases, the same volume of condensed gas as of gas under ordinary pressure.
Page 15 - To form some conception of the degree of coarse-grainedness indicated by this conclusion, imagine a rain drop, or a globe of glass as large as a pea, to be magnified up to the size of the earth, each constituent molecule being magnified in the same proportion. The magnified structure would be coarser grained than a heap of small shot, but probably less coarse grained than a heap of cricketballs.
Page 115 - ... cooled. The fact that water is most dense not immediately above its freezing points, but at some distance from that point, was re-discovered by LefevreGineau in the course of the determinations required to ascertain. the weight of a cubic centimetre of water — the unit of the French system of weights.* For the reason that a given bulk of water weighs more at the temperature of 4° C. than at any other temperature, it was decided to determine the weight of the cubic centimetre of water at that...
Page 14 - Jointly they establish, with what we cannot but regard as a very high degree of probability, the conclusion that, in any ordinary liquid, transparent solid, or seemingly opaque solid, the mean distance between the centres of contiguous molecules is less than the 1/5,000,000, and greater than the 1/1,000,000,000 of a centimetre.
Page 265 - ... Fluorine does not combine with oxygen. It is the only element of which this statement can be made. Comparison of the Members of the Chlorine Family. — In considering, first, the physical properties of these elements, we notice that all, with the exception of fluorine, form colored gases or vapors. At ordinary temperatures chlorine is a gas, bromine a liquid, and iodine a solid. In regard to their chemical conduct, it may be said that, in general, fluorine exhibits the strongest affinity for...
Page 93 - The arrangement represented in fig. 39 may be employed to determine this point. Into the open ends of the iron U tube, a (such as is used to connect parallel steam-pipes), are fitted, by means of caoutchouc corks, two glass tubes, one of which is closed at the end, and furnished with two platinum wires melted into the glass. The iron U tube is attached to a heavy foot, and is provided with a side tube, which can be closed by a clamp compressing a short piece of attached caoutchouc tubing. The sealed...
Page 95 - Cavendish, proved it to be a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, in the proportion of two volumes of the former gas to one volume of the latter; or by weight 2 parts of hydrogen to 16 parts of oxygen; hence its chemical formula is H„O.
Page 237 - The zone of fusion lies at /3, somewhat above the first third of the flame in height, and midway between the inner and outer limits of the mantle at the point where the flame is thickest. This is the point in the flame which possesses the highest temperature, and it is therefore used in testing substances as regards their melting-point, their volatility, emissive power, as well as for all processes of fusion at high temperatures. 3. The lower oxidizing...
