We have, first of all, those whose function it is to oxidise the soil ingredients.
Filter off the precipitate; wash it into a beaker and pass sulphuretted hydrogen; oxidise the sulphide and weigh as lead sulphate.
The arsenide of iron will oxidise first, and when this has ceased the surface of the button brightens.
More than 5 grams of nitre must not be used in an assay; and, since the requisite amount of nitre considerably exceeds that sufficient to oxidise the sulphur, not more than 0.
That silver, and even gold (which is more difficult to oxidise than silver), may be carried off in the slag in this way, is in agreement with general experience.
Dissolve the precipitate in hydrochloric acid, oxidise with nitric acid, and precipitate with ammonia.
It would not oxidise in the air; gallium does not tarnish upon exposure to the air.
Even ozone or a silent discharge passed through a mixture of oxygen and iodine vapour is able to directly oxidise iodine[82] into iodic acid.
For its conversion into nitrous oxide it parts with four equivalents of oxygen, and hence it is able to oxidise four equivalents of zinc and to convert it into zinc oxide, ZnO.
Silver is oxidised by it at the ordinary temperature, whilst oxygen is not able to oxidise silver even at high temperatures; a bright silver plate rapidly turns black (from oxidation) in ozonised oxygen.
According to certain evidence, a suboxide is formed when thin sheets or fine drops of sodium slowly oxidise in moist air.
Although the action is not so marked, even water may oxidise with its oxygen.

Müntz's criticism that the nitrifying organisms only oxidise from nitrogenous matter to nitrites, and not from nitrites to nitrates.
There will also be oxygen absorption going on upon the surface of the water, and from these three sources enough oxygen is obtained tooxidise impurities and produce what is really an effluent.
It must be premised that if coagulation is allowed to take place, either naturally or with the aid of acetic acid, the resulting rubber will almost inevitably oxidise on the surface, except in the cases of very dilute or young latices.
The grade of rubber made from the naturally coagulated lump which forms in buckets and carts is usually of a mixed colour, due to the fact that the lumps oxidise very quickly.
In dry air it does not oxidise at common temperatures; but at a red heat it soon becomes covered with a scaly coating of black oxide, and at an intense white heat burns brilliantly with the production of the same substance.
The proposal to oxidise sulphurous acid by means of chlorine in the presence of steam.
Oxidise sulphur by aqua regia, and reduce silver chloride as in III.
Persoz's method to oxidise sulphurous acid by means of nitric acid, and to regenerate the nitric oxide resulting from the reduction of the acid by the oxygen of the air in the presence of steam.
According to Benz the first two do not remove the sulphuretted hydrogen completely, and oxidise the acetylene to some extent; while potassium bichromate leaves some sulphur and phosphorus behind in the gas.
Tannins that rapidly oxidisein contact with light and air have, therefore, to be avoided.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "oxidise" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
