Cruickshanks supposed that the acid was nitrous acid, and the alkali ammonia.
There was still, however, the production of the volatile alkali and of nitrous acid to be accounted for.
Substances which probably combine chemically, and thus destroy contagion: Sulphurous acid, Nitrous acid, Fumes of other acids.
These facts lead to the inference that the evolutions of nitrous acid should be practised in typhus-fever wards, proper precautions being taken to diffuse it equally through the room, and in a highly dilute form.
Hydrochloric acid was employed for the same purpose by Guyton de Morveau in 1773, but it is doubtless much inferior to nitrous acid.
As no ozone was then detected the author concludes that all the effects which were formerly ascribed to ozone should be referred to nitrous acid.
The question of the presence of ozone in the air has not yet been fully elucidated, as those reactions by which ozone is generally detected are also common to nitrous acid (and its ammonia salt).
In this state, by the application of a gentle heat, it gives out nitrous gas; and we term it, in this degree of oxygenation, nitrous acid.
The use of a capillary tube for the addition of sodium nitrite prevents loss of nitrous acid by local reaction at the surface of the acid solution.
I must now add rather above two-thirds of oxygen gas, which will just be sufficient to convert the nitrous oxyd gas into nitrous acid gas.
But we do not perceive any crystals in the solution of copper in nitrous acid?
Thus, you see, it is the most easy process imaginable to convert nitrous oxyd gas into nitrous acid gas.
I do not know any inquiry more promising than the investigation of the properties of nitre, the nitrous acid, and nitrous air.
I once imagined, that the nitrous acid in the air might be the general restorative which I was in quest of; and the conjecture was favoured, by finding that candles would burn in air extracted from saltpetre.
He went there as an inquiring youth of fifteen and began his medical studies at once.
Bologna was, at the time, certainly an excellent place for Morgagni.
The acid can also be obtained by the action of nitrous acid on hydrazine sulphate; by the oxidation of hydrazine by hydrogen peroxide and sulphuric acid (A.
By the action of nitrous acid on this base, there is produced a compound known as nitrosodimethylaniline, which was discovered by Baeyer and Caro in 1874, and which contains the residue of nitrous acid in place of one atom of hydrogen.
Martius in 1865, having been produced by the action of nitrous acid on one of the diamidobenzenes.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "nitrous acid" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
