Pertaining to, or derived from, cyanic and uric acids.
Red and pure white are more common among flowers of cyanic tendency than in those of the other class.
This criticism is answered by the living albumin itself, which always contains in its nitrogenous decomposition products the radical of cyanide or other substances (urea) that can be artificially produced from cyanic compounds.
A preliminary stage to archigony is the formation of certain nitrogenous carbon-compounds which may be classed in the cyanicgroup (cyanic acid, etc.
Thus," says Pflueger, "nothing is clearer than the possibility of the formation of cyanic compounds when the earth was entirely or partially in a state of incandescence or great heat.
The similarity of the two substances is so great," says Pflueger, "that I might describe cyanic acid as a semi-living molecule.
There is an especial interest in connection with the theory of archigony and its physical basis in the chemical fact that cyanogen and its compounds--cyanide of potassium, cyanic acid, cyanide of hydrogen, etc.
This must be well borne in mind in view of the attacks which have lately been made on it by Neumeister and other vitalists; it is supposed to be untenable, because "there is an impassable gulf between cyanic compounds and proteids.
Another objection is that "the cyanic compounds which were formed in the heat must have very quickly perished on the subsequent appearance of water.
The belief that it is cyanogen which gives its characteristic vital properties to the plasm is supported by a number of analogies that we find to exist between cyanide compounds, especially cyanic acid (C N O H.
H2C2N2O2, isomeric withcyanic and cyanuric acids, and not known in the free state, but forming a large class of highly explosive salts, the fulminates.
So named in reference to its composition, it being supposed to contain the radicals of three molecules of cyanic acid.
Isocyanic acid, an acid metameric with cyanic acid, and resembling it in its salts.
Substituted ammonias were also made to combine withcyanic acid, and it was found that the substituted ammonium cyanates produced pass much more readily into the corresponding ureas than ammonium cyanate itself.
Esters of normalcyanic acid are not known, but those of isocyanic acid (HN.
The salts of cyanic acid are known as the cyanates, the two most important being potassium cyanate (KOCN) and ammonium cyanate (NH4OCN).
By distillation this new substance is reconverted intocyanic acid.
A salt in which the hydrogen of cyanic acid is replaced by a metal or other basic radical.
A mixture of cyanic and cyanuric ethers passes over into the receiver.
In glass houses, fumigation with hydro-cyanic acid gas has cleared them out, and poison baits, especially potatoes cut and soaked in white arsenic, have done some good.
The deadly effect of cyanicacid remains still a mystery.
His discovery of cyanicacid may be mentioned as a specimen.
Wohler some time since announced the production of cyanic acid, and cyanates, corresponding in composition to the substance presumed to exist in the fulminating compounds of silver, mercury, &c.
By bringing Ammoniacal gas in contact with the vapour of Cyanic acid, we produce Cyanate of Ammonia, a poisonous salt.
Two equivalents of Cyanic acid, uniting in one compound, produce Fulminic acid.
Besidea being a substance very prone to form polymerides, cyanic acid presents many other features of interest, expounded in greater detail in organic chemistry.
The properties of cyanic acid which we have described were principally observed by Wöhler, and clearly show the faculty of polymerisation of cyanogen compounds.
Cyanic acid is a very unstable, easily changeable liquid, while cyanuric acid is a crystalline solid which is very stable at the ordinary temperature.
The reds of the xanthic series are generally more lively-hued, carnation or flame-colored; those of the cyanic series present tints more nearly approaching violet.
The type of the cyanic series is blue, and that of the xanthic series yellow.
Pale cyanic and roseate forms also sometimes occur in late fruitings; see next species.
These from Schrader down, agree in portraying a brunescent form with yellow spores; Mr. Lister enters it with the cyanic series and so describes and figures it throughout.
And, again inversely, cyamelide can be converted into cyanuric acid and hydrated cyanic acid.
In cyanuric acid, hydrated cyanic acid, and cyamelide, we have three such isomeric compounds.
Hydrated cyanic acid is a volatile and highly blistering fluid, which cannot be brought into contact with water without being instantaneously decomposed.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "cyanic" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
