A drench of 2 ounces each of spirits of nitrous ether and alcohol, diluted with a pint of water, every hour until relief is afforded, is among the best remedies.
We remarked also that the stones taken out of this stream were covered with a calcareous substance tolerably thick, and of an undulated appearance, which, when mixed with the vitriolic and nitrous acid, produced symptoms of effervescence.
It is also decomposed by sulphuric acid, and the nitrous vapour is apparent from its smell and colour.
From the experiments of Howard, it appears, that this powder is composed of oxalate of mercury, and nitrous etherised gas.
Roder, speaking of nitrous walls, observes, that the efflorescence of nitre on them is in consequence of the stone, lime, and sand employed in the building.
The lixiviation of the nitrous substances, and the use of wood ashes, or potash itself, will produce saltpetre.
If nitric acid, or in preference, the fumingnitrous acid, be poured on spirit of turpentine, especially if it be old, it will inflame.
The first products of this reaction are copper nitrate and nitric oxide, but, as the concentration of the copper nitrate increases, nitrous oxide and, eventually, free nitrogen are liberated.
It is not therefore surprizing that, after the Antimony which remains combined with the Nitrous Acid is dried, it should not possess that corrosive power which it derives only from the Acids wherewith it is armed.
There is great reason to think, that these phenomena are produced only by the rapidity and vigour with which the Nitrous Acid rushes into union with the inflammable part of the Spirit of Wine.
The nitrous acid dissolves this metal with much ease, and in great quantities; and from this solution a small portion of Mercury may be obtained.
If this solution of Mercury be mixed with a solution of Copper, made likewise in the nitrous acid, and the mixture evaporated to dryness, there will remain a green powder called Green Precipitate.
I say almost all matters that contain the phlogiston; because there are some substances that contain a great deal thereof, and yet are not at all acted on by the pure Nitrous Acid.
But as the Nitrous Acid is considerably weaker, and much lighter, than the Vitriolic Acid, a good deal of it rises along with the Acid of Sea-salt during the operation.
A solution of Copper in the nitrous acid forms a salt which does not crystallize, but, when dried, powerfully attracts the moisture of the air.
The boiling is now continued till near dryness, when five cubic centimeters hydrochloric acid are added, after which the solution is boiled as long as any reddish-yellow vapors of nitrous acid are observed.
Should nitrous acid still show itself, some more hydrochloric acid is added and the boiling continued.
Returned home, he busied himself with his books, his experiments, and his speculations; assisting his father in recording observations on the effects of nitrous oxide and other gases.
It will dissolve, evolving an abundance of nitrous vapours and swelling up in the vessel.
By the action ofnitrous acid upon the salts of the primary organic amines the so-called diazo compounds are formed.
The cheapest and most convenient method of obtaining nitrous acid for diazotising is by the action of a mineral acid, preferably hydrochloric acid, upon nitrite of soda.
Marcy, a physician of Hartford, suggested to him to try as a substitute for gas; but Wells, finding it more difficult to administer, discontinued it and confined himself to the use of nitrous oxide.
In 1845 Wells visited Boston for the purpose of introducingnitrous oxide as an anaesthetic, and called upon his fellow-dentist and old partner, Morton, among others.
WHEN these nitrousswarms are risen towards the Surface of the Sea in a dark Night, they cause such a shining light upon the Waves, as if the Sea was on fire.
Common air saturated with nitrous air is also no farther diminished by this mixture of iron filings and brimstone, though the mixture ferments with great heat, and swells very much in it.
At first I had a suspicion that the blue might have come from the copper, out of which the nitrous air had been made.
Iron that has been suffered to rust in nitrous air diminishes common air very fast, as I shall have occasion to mention when I give a continuation of my experiments on nitrous air.
In this operation the peculiar smell of nitrous air is very manifest, the water being first impregnated with the air, and then transmitting it to the common atmosphere.
This experiment I have repeated a great number of times, with the same phials, filled with nails or wires that have been suffered to rust in nitrous air, but their power of diminishing common air grows less and less continually.
If, after this full saturation of common air with nitrous air, more nitrous air be put to it, it makes an addition equal to its own bulk, without producing the least redness, or any other visible effect.
The following is one of the methods by which I have given water a very strong acid impregnation, by means of a mixture of nitrous and common air.
Dear Sir, When I first received your paper, I happened to have a process going on for the preparation of nitrous ether, without distillation.
The ammonia or spirits of nitrous ether drench should be administered every three hours so long as there is much failure of strength.
Instead of the ammonia, a drench composed of 3 ounces of spirits of nitrous ether in a pint of water may be given, if more convenient, but the ammonia drench is preferable.
Nitrous oxide was moderately, but clearly, diamagnetic in air.
Chlorine gas is a pale yellow, and nitrous vapour a yellowish red.
They shine with greatly increased brilliancy in oxygen gas and in nitrous oxide.
It is of so irritating a nature, that the glottis contracts spasmodically when any attempt is made to breathe it; and the moment it escapes into the air it combines with more oxygen, and forms the deep red fumes of nitrous acid.
Nitrous acid and the peroxide of nitrogen each contains an additional proportion of oxygen, and they are still more destructive to all organization.
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.
The excitation caused by inhaling nitrous oxide is an exception at least; it leaves no exhaustion on the bursting of the bubble.
Mix nitrous gas and air together in a jar over water, and the nitrous gas takes away the oxygen, and then the water sucks up the mixed oxygen and nitrous gas, and that part of the air which weakens the oxygen is left behind.
Mr. Boag recommends a warm bath for the limb bitten, and thinks the addition of a small quantity of nitrous acid would produce excellent effects.
The borders of these furrows were covered with many beds, and thickly spread over with a nitrous kind of ice.
The alluvion of which the bottoms are composed contains a large proportion of sand, which, added to the nitrous and saline matter blended with it, occasions frequent appearances of complete barrenness.
Among those who improved the manufacture of nitro-glycerine was Mowbray, who, by using pure glycerine and nitric acid free from nitrous acid, made very great advances in the manufacture.
Decomposition proceeds as the acid meets the steam, nitric and nitrous acids are disengaged and are passed out at the top of the tower through a pipe to a series of condensers and towers, where the nitric acid is collected.
The weak sulphuric acid, now entirely free from nitric and nitrous acids, may be concentrated to sp.
These nitro bodies are not acids, nor are they ethereal salts of nitrous acid, as nitro-glycerine is of glycerine.
The colour of the nitrous fumes given off (as seen through the little window in the dome of the apparatus).
The nitrous acid may be converted into nitric acid by introducing a hot compressed air jet into the gases before they pass into the condensers.
Another plan, however, is to heat the acid gently, and thus drive out the nitrous gases.
Through his works on heat, nitrous oxide, and galvanic electricity, Davy had made the acquaintance of Dr.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "nitrous" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
