Now, Priestley says that, in 1774, the possibility of obtaining air less phlogisticated than common air had not occurred to him.
All that iron gets in this process is an addition of weight, which appears to be water, but it loses its phlogiston, so that nitrous air seems to contain more phlogiston, and less water than phlogisticated air.
Vitriolic acid, even concentrated and boiling, has but little effect upon bismuth; but the nitrous acid acts upon it with the greatest rapidity and violence, producing much nitrous air, mixed with phlogisticated nitrous vapour.
It is imbibed by charcoal, and both that air which is afterwards expelled from it by heat, and that which remains unabsorbed, is phlogisticated air.
To this it has been objected, that the acid thus produced came from the decomposition of phlogisticated air, a small portion of which was at first contained in the mixture of the two kinds of air.
A mixture of sulphur assists the accension of these substances, and makes gunpowder, in the explosion of which much nitrous or phlogisticated air is suddenly produced, and expanded by the heat.
But when every particle of phlogisticatedair is excluded, the strongest acid is procured.
Nitrous air resists putrefaction, but is diminished by the animal substances exposed to it to about a fourth of its bulk, and becomes phlogisticated air.
The other ingredient in the composition of atmospherical air is phlogisticated air.
Nitrous air produced from copper contains a mixture of phlogisticated air.
Both, in his opinion acted by giving out phlogiston; which, uniting with the air of the atmosphere, converted it into phlogisticated air.
If this phlogisticated acid of nitre is mixed with aerial acid, which is the case when the acid of the nitre is extracted over sugar, I tie a bladder, softened with some water, to the extreme end of the neck of the retort A (Fig.
This lime will absorb the aerial acid during the distillation, and leave the phlogisticated acid of nitre untouched.
This phlogisticated acid is, however, so loosely united with these absorbing substances, that even the simple mixture with the vegetable acids can drive it out.
Cavendish had shown that when the last named is exploded with common air water is produced (which is composed of dephlogisticated and inflammable airs), and phlogisticated air remains.
Common air had thus been proved to consist of these two--phlogisticated and dephlogisticated airs (nitrogen and oxygen).
He then proceeded to prove by experiments that when common air is exploded with inflammable air water is likewise produced, and phlogisticated air (i.
I then, in order to decompound as much as I could of the phlogisticated air [nitrogen] which remained in the tube, added some dephlogisticated air to it and continued the spark until no further diminution took place.
This certainly has a great effect; but is subject, in some degree, to the same inconvenience as the phlogisticated alkali, of staining the substance on which the writing was made.
To bring the idea to the test, I made a few experiments as follows: "The phlogisticated alkali was rubbed upon the bare writing in different quantities, but in general with little effect.
Reflecting that when phlogisticated alkali forms its blue precipitate with iron the metal is first usually dissolved in an acid, I was next induced to try the effect of adding a dilute mineral acid to writing besides the alkali.
The iron may be known by means of the galnut and phlogisticated alkali; the galnut put into feruginous water, will change its colour to purple, or violet, or black; and the phlogisticated alkali will produce immediately Prussian blue.
Copper may be ascertained by means of the phlogisticated alkali or volatile alkali; the first turns the water to a brown red, and the second to a blue.
Present day students would grow impatient in their perusal, because of the persistent emphasis placed on phlogiston, dephlogisticated air, phlogisticated air, and so forth.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "phlogisticated" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
