Aeriform substances, of which the air that we breathe is one, though invisible, are real substances, as appears by their excluding other substances.
The elements of organic substances circulate, passing from the solid to the liquid or aeriform condition, and thence again to the state of solidity or of organisation.
The vapor or steam of the spirit, dilated and become aeriform by the heat, gradually swelled out the bladder, and stretched it in every direction like a sail.
The regular and constant constituents of the atmosphere are the elements oxygen and nitrogen, which, at the temperature and pressure existing on the surface of our globe, are permanently aeriform or gaseous.
Beside these gases, the air always contains a quantity of the vapor of water in a perfectly aeriform and transparent condition.
An independent celestial body is split off from the fiery-aeriform earth; this new body becomes in its later development our present sun.
The organized watery and aeriformstructures of which human bodies were formed become disintegrated, and dissolve into the rest of the earth’s substance.
The souls thus embodied now begin once more to attract the aeriform and watery substances and incorporate them in their own bodies.

Liquid and aeriform envelopes of the solid surface of our planet.
Footnote 15: It is true that since this essay was written reasons have been given for concluding that comets consist of swarms of meteors enveloped in aeriform matter.
Cagniard de Latour have shown that gases may, under pressure, acquire the density of liquids while retaining the aeriform state, provided the temperature continues extremely high.
Such a temperature that the unstable compound may form at the surface, where the aeriform constituent is present in large mass, while it decomposes at the opposite surface, where the quantity is less abundant.
One of the most remarkable results of Graham's study of this peculiar mode of transfer of aeriform matter through the very substance of solid bodies was an ingenious method of separating the oxygen from the atmosphere.
As aqueous vapor constitutes the most abundant of the aeriform products of volcanoes in eruption, it may be well to consider attentively a case in which steam is exclusively the moving power--that of the Geysers of Iceland.
Consequent on the velocity of the explosive fluids is the resistance of that aeriform fluid filling all space.
Through this process matter passes over from the aeriform condition into that of numerous separate, characteristically structured solid bodies - the starch grains.
Thus there is reason to describe also from the modern point of view the solid and liquid states as essentially 'cold', and the aeriform state as 'warm'.
Heat, therefore, does not rank as a fourth condition by the side of the solid, liquid and aeriform states, in the way that Fire ranks in the older conception by the side of Earth, Water and Air.
We know that this characteristic of matter diminishes gradually with its transition from the solid to the liquid and aeriform states.
But aeriform matter still has density and weight, and this means that matter in this state combines the two opposing qualities.
There is no reason to suppose that it is ever sufficient to reduce them to the aeriform state.
But gauze will not keep away aeriform bodies, or fluids.
From the known principles belonging to gases, the pressure exerted by an aeriform medium is as the square of the velocity of its component particles, and as the density.
Hence if the once liquid substance of the Earth first solidified at the surface, the implication is that its once aeriform substance first liquified at the surface.
Starting, then, with a rotating spheroid of aeriform matter, in the later stages of its concentration, but before it has begun to take a liquid or solid form, let us inquire what must be the actions going on in it.
An aeriform mass ascending from the centre towards either pole, will expand as it approaches the surface, in consequence of the diminution of pressure.
Differences between the structures: the masses being either solid or liquid throughout, or having central cavities filled with elastic aeriform substance.
Cagniard de Latour have shown that gases may, under pressure, acquire the density of liquids while retaining the aeriform state; provided the temperature continues extremely high.
Yes, in strict propriety, for they can properly be called gasses only when brought to an aeriform state.
The name of gas is given to any fluid capable of existing constantly in an aeriform state, under the pressure and at the temperature of the atmosphere.
In the latter case, they collected a fluid, principally water, containing some carbonic acid, and the aeriform product they suffered to escape.
He then investigates two classes of formulæ: the first appertains to fluids which possess simply the fluid or aeriform elasticity, which are free from all heat exceeding the temperature of the atmosphere.
Warm water, put into a vessel containing it, will change it to an aeriform fluid of an orange colour.
If we consider the primary cause of this decomposition, we naturally inquire into the products of the combustion, and endeavour to account for the production of the elastic aeriform fluids.
Neither common air, nor oxygen, has any action on alcohol at moderate temperatures, whether in a liquid or aeriform state.
So, too, in smell, although no visible evaporation takes place, still it is a fact that aeriform floating particles are thrown off from the sensible body, and actually taken in by the sentient.
Most aeriform bodies, when subjected to compression, are made to occupy a space which diminishes in the exact ratio of the increase of the compressing force.
The water absorbed by the plant evaporating in an aeriform state leaves the saline and other mineral constituents within it.
He enquires into the state of the water, and aeriform matter in the cavities of crystals.
On the state of Water and Aeriform matter in cavities found in certain Crystals.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "aeriform" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
