Oxides cannot be formed except oxygen be present, and the oxide of any substance is heavier than the substance itself, by a quantity exactly equal to the oxygen received. The young student may be reminded, that by the term heavier, it is not meant that the density or specific gravity of the oxide is greater than its base, but the total quantity of it weighs more. ing about one tenth of nitric oxide, from which it acquired an astringent taste; and that the water gave out the whole of this gas when passing to the state of ice. Oils greedily absorb nitric oxide, and decompose it. Nitric acid also absorbs it, and is converted by the absorption into nitrous acid, becoming fuming and coloured at the same time. Oxides are in general friable or pulverulent, and have the appearance of earths; but one of them i3 a fluid, and some of them are gases. OXIDES OF NITROGEN. Nitrogen combines in two proportions with oxygen, without producing an acid. It therefore furnishes two oxides, which are distinguished from each other, like the acids, by a difference in the termination of the word denoting the base; they are the nitrous oocide and nitric oxide. Nitrous oxide-This gas, which is also known by the name of gaseous oxide of nitrogen, is composed of 03-parts of nitrogen, and 37 of oxygen by weight. It has a faint smell, and imparts a slight sensation of sweetness, when respired. It is dissolved by water; but may be expelled from the water by heat unchanged: Alcohol absorbs more of it than water, and the essential and fixed oils more than alcohol; but heat expels it froni all these combinations. It supports combustion with more activity than common air; but it is, in general, Books, Cooking & Cookbooks~~General, Artists-Guide-And-Mechanics-Own-Book~~James-Pilkington, 999999999, The Artist's Guide And Mechanic's Own Book, James Pilkington, 1150602643, General Books LLC, , , , , General Books LLC<
