The reducing action of tissues, according to Bach, requires a reducing enzyme proper or perhydridase and some easily oxidizable substance, such as an aldehyde.
As luciferin is so easily oxidizable a substance, we should expect to find that it will reduce just as glucose will reduce.
The luciferins, as the oxidizable substances, must claim first attention.
By bringing any oxidizablesubstance into this portion of the flame, it oxidizes very quickly in consequence of the high temperature and the free access of air.
It is, in general, true thatoxidizable substances are determined by !
Oxygen is liberated at the anode, but, since there is no oxidizable substance present around that electrode, it escapes as oxygen gas.
The white sheet supplies the oxidizable matter and the thick air-tube spreading into a tufty bush distributes the flow of air over it.
When the gold is alloyed with easily oxidizable metals, such as copper or lead, it may be refined by cupellation.
When heated with oxidizable substances it gives up a part of its oxygen, as shown in the equation 2NaO = Na{2}O + O.
The process employed on a very great scale in France during the Revolution, for obtaining copper from bells, was contrived by Fourcroy; founded upon the chemical fact that tin is more fusible and oxidizable than copper.
It is not entirely like our malleable iron; but is whiter, more ductile, more permanent or less oxidizable in the air, and somewhat less dense.
It would seem that if this theory is true the films must be of a much more refined kind than layers of oxide or dirt, for the coherer effect has been observed with clean non-oxidizable metals.
Plates of platinum and pure or amalgamated zinc are separated by a porous pot, and each surrounded by some of the same solution of a salt of a metal more oxidizable than zinc, such as potassium.
Finally, it may be assumed that easily oxidizable substances, such as aldehydes and acids, are possibly protected against too rapid, or premature, oxidation by being transformed into glucosides.
But when many difficultly oxidizable substances, such as chloral, camphor, turpentine oil, aniline, etc.
Fletcher also investigated the process subsequently, and reports as follows: "The treatment causes a reduction in the oxidizable matter in the sewage, varying from 60 to 80 per cent.
I found that the action of non-oxidizable electrodes was most efficacious after the temperature of the fluid acted upon rose 4° or 5°; but the cost of working made it impossible on a large scale.
This is doubtless the reason why ozone does not accumulate in the atmosphere in greater proportion than the oxidizable miasma, notwithstanding the constant formation of one and the other.
For if the oxidizable miasma are destroyed by atmospheric ozone, they, in turn, cause the latter to disappear, and we have seen that it is itself a miasm.
It is possible, and even probable, that sometimes, in particular localities, there may not be a just relation between the ozone and the oxidizable miasma in the air, and that the latter cannot be completely destroyed.
From this we perceive that the urine contains a great quantity of oxidizable or so-called reducing substances.
Briefly, Vanadiol is said to contain a compound of vanadium with oxygen and chlorin, which gives up its oxygen to readily oxidizable substances, such as the blood.
Every composition must contain at least one sample of each class: usually there are present more than one oxidizable substance, and very often more than one oxidizing agent.
The same kind of thing is true for most oxidizable substances, including ordinary combustibles.
Yet there was nothing inconsistent with any previously ascertained fact in the asserted presence of 1% of a non-oxidizable gas about half as heavy again as nitrogen.
These gases agree with argon in respect of the ratio of the specific heats and in being non-oxidizable under the electric spark.
The necessary conditions for producing it are two--an oxidizablesubstance that is luminous on oxidation, i.
Fabroni found that under the above circumstances his oxidizable metals dissolved in the water, and in some cases salts were formed which crystallized out.
The first two series suffered no marked change, while in the latter series the more oxidizable metal became visibly covered with oxide in a few instants after the contact was made.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "oxidizable" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
