In the same manner, nitrous gas, which is azote in its first degree of oxygenation, is the oxyd of azote.
Properly speaking, we are only acquainted with one compound radical from the mineral kingdom, the nitro-muriatic, which is formed by the combination of azote with the muriatic radical.
TABLE of the Binary Combinations of Azote with the Simple Substances.
The combinations of azote were but lately discovered: Mr Cavendish first observed it in nitrous gas and acid, and Mr Berthollet in ammoniac and the prussic acid.
Observations upon the Combinations of Azotewith the Simple Substances.
The addition of azote to the materials of putrefaction not only accelerates the process, that element likewise combines with part of the hydrogen, and forms a new substance called volatile alkali or ammoniac.
In this operation, the azote is disengaged in form of gas, which we receive under bell glasses filled with water in the pneumato-chemical apparatus.
As no evidence of its decomposition has hitherto appeared, we are fully entitled to consider azote as a simple elementary substance.
The great difficulty appears to be to separate the oxygen, which aids combustion, from the azote which impedes it.
The effects of the azote are precisely similar to the first and second of those above described; it seems to form no combinations, and contributes nothing, in any stage, to augment the heat.
The compressedazote also in the upper part of the vessel, though useless for combustion, may be employed as a source of power, and, by its expansion, work another engine.
A further cause of the uncertainty of the results of such an experiment arises from the possibility that azote may really contribute to the fusion of the mixed mass in the furnace, though its mode of operating is at present unknown.
The accurate proportions are, by measure, oxygen 21, azote 79.
His discovery of protoxide of azote affords a beautiful example of the advantages resulting from his method of investigation, and the sagacity which enabled him to follow out any remarkable appearances which occurred.
Azote he found lighter than common air; bodies would not burn in it at all.
He had discovered the intoxicating effects which protoxide of azote (nitrous oxide) produces when breathed, and had tried their effects upon a great number of individuals.
The azote is drawn into the lungs along with the oxygen, but it is thrown out again unaltered.
But he did not by any means confine himself to this, which was the primary object of the institution; but investigated the properties and determined the composition of nitric acid, ammonia, protoxide of azote and deutoxide of azote.
He showed further, that the compounds of azote and oxygen were composed as follows: Azote.
We have no evidence that the carbon, another great constituent of vegetable bodies, and the carbon and azote which constitute so great a proportion of animal substances, have their origin from water.
Atmospheric air consists of two gases, azote and oxygen, mixed together in the proportion of four to one; five cubic feet of atmospheric air consisting of four cubic feet of azote and one of oxygen.
The term azote and symbol Az are still retained by the French chemists.
But nature does not supply either oxygen or azote in a separate state.
I say enjoy, for who that has been for some time shut up in the town, without breathing the pure air of the country, does not feel his spirits revived the moment he emerges from the azote of the town.
By similar experiments to those I have mentioned, we get the azote pure; here is some, in which a candle has burnt out, and in which nothing but azote, or the impure part of the atmosphere is left.
When two fluids are diffused together without undergoing any change of their chemical properties, they are said simply to be mixed, and not combined; as milk and water when poured together, or as oxygen and azote in the common atmosphere.
The problem upon which he has been engaged was the extraction of oxygen gas, in a state of purity and in a considerable quantity, from the azote in the atmosphere.
His undertaking was to extract, in a state of purity and in considerable quantity, the oxygen gas mixed with azote in atmospheric air, and he thinks that he has fully succeeded, by a process not attended with much difficulty.
Here are a few specimens of his pleasing audacities:-- "There is plenty of wild azote and carbon unappropriated, but it is naught till we have made it up into loaves and soup.
This is owing to the decomposition of the nitric acid, (in the same manner as the acid of nitrate of potassa and other nitrates is decomposed), during which carbonic acid and deutoxide of azote are produced.
It is extremely probable, that the azote of the atmosphere, and oxygen may combine spontaneously, under particular circumstances, in various operations of nature.
It is found, that hydriodate of ammonia has the property of dissolving a large quantity of iodine, and, if suffered to remain with the iodide of azote, of decomposing it also, and setting the azote at liberty.
Nascent azote must unite with the base of oxygen gas; but whence, in saltpetre caves, proceeds the azote and the oxygen?
Lavoisier infers then, that the oxygen in combining with azote to form nitric acid, only loses 7.
Would it not deprive it of its carbon, forming the chlorocarbonic acid, and thus set the azote at liberty, or might it not unite with the nitrogen, and form a chloride of nitrogen?
We know that lime is a compound of a base called calcium united with oxygen; but in what manner it promotes the union of azote and oxygen, or furnishes either one or the other of these bodies, or perhaps both, is altogether uncertain.
Ammonia is produced by the union of azote and hydrogen, and carbonic acid by that of carbon and oxygen.
When exposed to the air, iodide of azote gradually flies off in vapour, without leaving any residue.
In water, it gradually disappears, the water becoming acid, and azote being evolved.
Part of its oxygen combines with the sulphurous acid, changing it into the sulphuric, and deutoxide of azote is reproduced.
On adding azote and carbonic acid in different proportions to explosive mixtures of fire-damp, it was observed that, even in very small quantities, these gases diminished the velocity of the inflammation, or altogether destroyed it.
He was then led to examine the effects of the admixture of azote and carbonic acid gas; and the result of those experiments furnished him with the basis of his first plan of security.
The intensity is the same in dry air, and in air mingled with vapours; but it is feebler in carbonic acid gas than in mixtures of azote and oxygen.
When a country has been long subjected to cultivation, it is not the proportions between the azote and oxygen that vary.
The decomposition of animal bodies, or of such plants as contain azote in their composition, which takes place spontaneously when they are exposed to the air, under the influence of moisture and warmth, is called putrefaction.
Through the opening in the side of the globe, atmospherical air is to be admitted from time to time, by removing the stopper; after which, the residuary lighter azote may be allowed to escape by the funnel orifice.
When a lighted taper is applied to a mixture of cyanogen and oxygen, an explosion takes place; carbonic acid is formed, and the azote is set at liberty.
When azote or carbonic acid abounds, the top is frequently an inch or two in length, of a decided brown colour, and the flame is short and dim.
Polychroite, when combined with fat oil, and subjected to dry distillation, affords ammonia, which shows that azote is one of its constituents.
Its ultimate constituents are not determined, but azote is one of them, and accordingly when moist gluten is left to ferment, it exhales the smell of old cheese.
The azote is there converted into ammonia, of which a considerable quantity is distilled over into the tar-pit.
It consists of 3 volumes of hydrogen and 1 of azote condensed into two volumes; and hence its density is 0.
He says that a combination of chlorine and azote has been discovered at Paris, which is a fluid and explodes by the heat of the hand, the discovery of which cost an eye and a finger to the author.
I hope the gaseous oxide of azote will prove to be a specific stimulus for the absorbents.
On October 24 he writes, 'On Wednesday we are to have a meeting at the Institution, to try to make this compound of azote and chlorine.
The gaseous oxide of azote is perfectly respirable when pure.
Animalization in general is, we know, contra-distinguished from vegetables in general by the predominance of azote in the chemical composition, and of irritability in the organic process.

From Azote Philip the Deacon turned toward the north and evangelized all the coast as far as Cæsarea, where he settled and founded an important church.
If either oxygen or azote were omitted, life would be destroyed.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "azote" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
