Most fasters feel much more comfortable by the end of the first seven to ten days, when they enter the normalization phase; here the acidicblood chemistry is gradually corrected.
Switching over to burning fat for fuel triggers the release of even moreacidic substances.
That it has slight acidic properties is shown by its capacity to form ferrites, ‹e.
Remembering that glass is composed of the salts of silicic acid, the reader will readily understand that the mixture from which it is made must contain acidic and basic constituents.
The acidic or acid-forming material is in every case silica or sand.
This meant, for instance, that purchases of lime needed to improve Fairfax County's acidic soil could be had for $3.
When a fragmental rock is composed chiefly of rocks belonging to the acidic group, we say it is felspathic.
The acidic lavas, of which rhyolite and thrachyte are examples, are comparatively light in color and weight, and are difficult to melt.
We may believe that the same molten mass which supplies this acidic lava in surface flows solidifies as granite deep below ground in the volcanic reservoir.
Granite is an acidic rock corresponding to rhyolite in chemical composition.
That this alcohol would combine with phosphoric acid could be predicted, but that the ester, as obtained by Pelouze, still contained free acidic functions and formed a water-soluble barium salt was a new experience.
Richard Willstaetter showed that an internal neutralization takes place between the amino group and the free acidic residue.
The elementary substances of which rocks are chiefly composed, which make up the main mass of the earth so far as we are acquainted with it, number only fourteen:— Non-Metallic or Acidic Elements.
In specific gravity and lustre it is a good example of a mineral in which an acidic element predominates.
Lustre, metallic; an exception to the rule that acidic elements have non-metallic or vitreous lustres.
The plagioclase in diorite is mainly the moreacidic species, like oligoclase; while in norite the more basic species, such as labradorite and anorthite, predominate.
These two rocks hold essentially the same relation as regards origin and structure to the basic lavas that petrosilex and felsite do to the acidic lavas.
Quartz is of common occurrence in the moreacidic varieties of diorite, and augite in the more basic.
It is a comparatively rare rock, for the reason that basalt and andesite crystallize more readily than the acidic rocks on passing from the liquid to the solid state.
These differences are tabulated below:— Muscovite = Biotite = Acidic mica.
Repulsed by the foul language, she was transfixed by it nonetheless, until feeling the acidic rain that fell through polluted skies and the putrid city fall onto her skin.
Immobile because of a cold rush of dread, he let the filthy acidic rain sully his head the way his thoughts were sullied in desperation.
The acidic saliva softened its thick outer skeleton, while the razor-sharp triangular jaws tore away with frightening precision.
This view, however, would not stand subsequent criticisms, being in disagreement with the earlier observations of molecular weight and acidic properties of tannin.
It was observed that the solubility of the quebracho extract was not increased by this treatment, but the faintly acidic character of the natural tannin caused the bakelite to be thrown down as an insoluble precipitate.
The carbomethoxy derivatives of the depsides are as a rule crystalline substances of distinct acidic character, and decompose alkaline carbonates.
