...saline substance is formed, and gas is evolved consisting of ammonia and hydrogen, in the proportion of two volumes of the former to one volume of the latter.* Now since the effects in these two cases are similar, the fair inference seems to be that the products... | |

...substance, capable of chemically combining with oxygen ; and this combination takes place in the exact ratio of two volumes of the former, to one volume of the latter gas ; the product of this combination is water. Had I therefore had ten volumes of oxygen, and twenty... | |

...that Water can be made to develope the two elementar}' gases, Hydrogen and Oxygen, in the proportions of two volumes of the former to one volume of the latter ; and hence, that it must consist of the bases of those two gases, in the liquid form. These facts... | |
