Thus the olefiant gas, so light and clear and pervious to luminous rays, was proved to be a most potent destroyer of the rays emanating from an obscure source.
Hence the olefiant gas laboured under a disadvantage.
Of the rays emitted by a carbonic oxide flame, carbonic acid absorbs twice as much as olefiant gas.
Of the rays emitted by our heated plate of copper, olefiant gas absorbs ten times the quantity absorbed by carbonic acid.
For the heat emitted by lampblack, olefiant gas is a far more powerful absorber than carbonic acid; in fact, for such heat, with one exception, carbonic acid is the most feeble absorber to be found among the compound gases.

But for carbonic acid, nitrous oxide and olefiant gas, the values were much smaller, showing that these gases experienced a smaller change of temperature in compression.
The compounds which he supposed to be thus produced are of a very questionable nature; with respect to that formed with the Olefiant gas, he was evidently in error.
By the application of such a principle did he also infer the composition of a body from the character of its flame: thus, says he, Ether, during its combustion, would appear to indicate the presence of olefiant gas.
Alcohol burns with a flame similar to that of a mixture of carbonic oxide and hydrogen; so that the first is probably a binary compound of olefiant gas and water, and the second of carbonic oxide and hydrogen.
Olefiant gas, a compound of hydrogen and carbon, was brought into a liquid form.
The most brilliant of the illuminating gases is the olefiant gas, produced by the decomposition of alcohol, and it is only hydrogen charged with carbon to the point of saturation.
On the other hand, the mixtures of carbonic oxide or olefiant gas, which can do nothing with the platina, are inflamed by the taper, burning well.
Here also the retarding effect of the olefiant gas was very beautifully illustrated.
But when similar experiments were made with olefiant gas (the platina plates having been made the positive poles of a voltaic pile (570.
Oxygen as a heavy, and olefiant as a light gas, are in strong contrast with each other; and if we may reason of olefiant gas from Harris's results with air (1365.
As to cases of retardation, the powers of olefiantgas and carbonic oxide have been already described.
In association with this substance, I submitted the hydro-chloride of carbon from olefiant gas and chlorine to the action of the electric current; but it also refused to conduct or yield up its elements.
This result was obtained several times, and when larger proportions of olefiant gas were used, the action seemed still more hopeless.
A mixture of one volume olefiantgas and three volumes oxygen was not affected by such a platina plate, even though left together for several days (640.
A little of the vapour of the condensed oil-gas liquor[A] retarded the action still more, but not nearly so much as an equal volume of olefiant gas would have done.
A few cubic inches of the mixed airs is as much as can be conveniently managed at a single explosion; and when any portion of olefiant gas is present, even this quantity will endanger very thick glass jars.
It was thus proved that-- Olefiant gas raises an equal volume of water 14 deg.
He found further, that if we reckon the carbon in each the same, then carburetted hydrogen gas contains exactly twice as much hydrogen as olefiant gas does.
This determined him to state the ratios of these constituents in numbers, and to consider the olefiant gas as a compound of one atom of carbon and one atom of hydrogen; and carburetted hydrogen of one atom of carbon and two atoms of hydrogen.
The chloric ether was made as usual from chlorine and olefiant gases.
Remarkable deposition of carbon during the combustion of one volume of olefiant gas with two of chlorine.
I therefore resolved to make all lamps safe to the test of the gas produced by the distillation of coal, which, when it has not been exposed to water, always contains olefiant gas.
It is an unsaturated compound and combines directly with chlorine and bromine to form oily liquids (Dutch liquid), -- hence called olefiant gas.
Defn: Olefiant gas, or ethylene; hence, by extension, any one of the series of unsaturated hydrocarbons of which ethylene is a type.
Olefiant gas or ethylene; -- so called by Berzelius from its forming an oil combining with chlorine.
Pure and dry olefiant gas is passed over anhydrous sulphuric acid ('sulphuric anhydride') contained in a U-shaped tube.
It is best obtained purest by burning a jet of pure olefiant gas in an atmosphere of pure chloride, collecting the amorphous carbon deposited, and igniting in vacuo at a red heat.
According to the researches of Himly, Gregory, and Bouchardat, the caoutchoucin of Barnard consists of several liquids, some of which have the composition of olefiant gas, and others that of oil of turpentine.
The most brilliant flame, however, is produced by hydroguret of carbon, or olefiant gas.
It was called by the German chemists olefiant gas.
Olefiant gas (hydroguret of carbon) ceased to burn in an atmosphere, where its pressure was diminished between ten and eleven times.
Oils, whether essential or fixed, when passed through ignited tubes, are decomposed, and furnish an inflammable gas called olefiant gas.
Now, the richest gaseous combination of carbon with hydrogen is olefiant gas, but it would be the worst quality of coal-gas for balloon inflation.
If olefiant gas be transmitted through a white-hot iron pipe it expands in volume, thus showing what would have happened had it originally been produced in a white-hot iron retort.
Some of the vapour of this gas-oil is mixed with the olefiant gas in the general products of decomposition; in consequence of which they are sometimes richer in carbon than even olefiant gas, and have a higher illuminating power.
A small portion of carbonaceous matter remains in the retort, while much olefiant gas is formed, possessing a superior illuminating power to common coal gas, and entirely free from sulphureous impregnation.
This was at one time called the olefiant gas, because when mixed with chlorine an oily looking compound was produced.
Thus the olefiant gas contains in the same volume double the quantity of carbon of common carburetted hydrogen, and it burns with a proportionably brighter flame.
Olefiant gas may therefore be expected to evolve a double quantity of carbon in its flame, which should emit a double light.
As the character of the gas as an illuminator depends on the quantity of hydro-carbon, or olefiant elements it contains, great efforts were made to invent processes and means of carbureting it.
Olefiant gas, or ethylene; hence, by extension, any one of the series of unsaturated hydrocarbons of which ethylene is a type.
Objections to use of coal Oils from coal and lignite Oil-wells of America Olefiant gas Orthoceras P.
It is called olefiant gas, and contains equal measures of hydrogen gas and carbon vapour; its specific gravity is 0.
Olefiant gas, made from oil, burns with a brighter and purer light than common coal gas, but it is more costly.
One pound of common oil yields about 15 feet of olefiant gas.
Care should be taken that the olefiant gas is rather in excess.
The two chief definite gaseous compounds of these two elements are the light carburetted hydrogen, and the heavy carburetted hydrogen, or olefiant gas.
This gas is sometimes called "olefiant gas," from the property it has of forming an oily substance when mixed with chlorine.
But besides olefiant gas there are minute quantities of other gases of the same series, having an analogous composition, but differing in the amount and relative proportions they contain of the two elements of which they are composed.
One of the simplest members of the series, and that which is usually present in by far the largest amount, is called olefiant gas.
For two volumes of the olefiant gas taken, the diminution will be equal to four volumes, and the same for marsh gas.
The lower the temperature at which complex organic substances are heated, the greater the quantity of olefiant gas found in the gases given off; at a white heat it is entirely decomposed into charcoal and marsh gas.
Acetylene may be formed from olefiant gas if two atoms of hydrogen be taken from it.
By this means many gases may be liquefied which resist other methods--namely, olefiant gas, hydrochloric acid gas, and others.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "olefiant" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
