In some rare instances, it is composed of laminæ of all three of these substances, and sometimes of even more--the mixed phosphates still continuing to constitute the external crust.
A precipitate of ferric phosphates first forms, but upon the addition of a few more drops of the same solution it is dissolved.
The turbidity of fresh urine then is the only kind which need be considered, since standing in the cold often brings about this condition, due to the growth of bacteria and deposits of both phosphates and urates.
If a precipitate occurs at the first boiling, but clears up again entirely on adding acetic acid, it is not albumen but harmlessphosphates or carbonates.
They are the receptacles which collect nearly all of the phosphates in crops, which are fed to animals, and are not returned in their excrements.
The bodies of animals contain much nitrogen, as well as valuable quantities, the phosphates and other inorganic materials required in the growth of plants.
While the secondary phosphates, on heating, give salts of pyrophosphoric acid, the primary phosphates yield salts of metaphosphoric acid.

The relation between the chromates and dichromates is the same as that between the phosphates and the pyrophosphates.
Their sulphides, carbonates, and phosphates are insoluble in water, the other common salts being soluble.
In the form of phosphates it is very abundant and widely distributed.
The secondary phosphates are as a rule insoluble, while most of the primary salts are soluble.
Phosphates of soda and ammonia, equal parts; water, q.
The ash contains the chlorides, carbonates, and phosphates of potassium, sodium, and calcium.
Solution of sulphate of calcium produces in neutral and alkaline solutions of the phosphates a white precipitate, freely soluble in acids, even the acetic.
Iodide of potassium may be used as an indicator to show excess of lead, proceeding in the same manner as is done with ferrocyanide in titrating phosphates with nitrate of uranium.
The insoluble phosphates must be first treated with diluted hydrochloric or sulphuric acid, and the resulting solution filtered and neutralised with an alkali, before applying the reagents.
It should be insisted that mineral superphosphates are delivered dry and in good condition, and be guaranteed to contain a certain per-centage of soluble phosphates at a certain price per unit per cent.
This serves for the removal of the phosphates and sulphates, the presence of which in the urine would interfere with the analysis.
In the monstrous clarifiers the albumen, fibrin, andphosphates are separated.
In the seed, legumin occurs associated with considerable quantities of the phosphates of calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
Chloride of barium produces in aqueous solutions of the neutral and basic phosphates a white precipitate, which is insoluble in either hydrochloric or nitric acid, and with difficulty soluble in a solution of chloride of ammonium.
In that case, the lactic acid dissolves the phosphates and they run out with the whey.
These phosphates are of lime, iron, magnesium, etc.
Indeed, if carried far enough before the curd is removed from it, the finer flavoring oils are cut by it, the phosphates are dissolved, and these pass out with the whey, leaving the cheese but little better than an indigestible mass.
We do not have to cut the fats and phosphatesout with acid, nor to dry all the moisture out by fine cutting and high scalding or long scalding.
While phosphates have given Nauruans one of the highest per capita incomes in the Third World, few other resources exist with most necessities being imported, including fresh water from Australia.
A large volume of reagent being used with a comparatively small quantity of urine, the precipitate of earthy phosphates does not interfere in the least with the reaction.
Earthy phosphatesthen fall naturally out of solution, so that the putrid fluid is always well furnished with sediment.
The phosphates and hypo-phosphites are safer and more valuable.
Calcium salts: phosphates if from overwork or town life; hypophosphites in nervous debility.
In the phosphates the phosphorus is part of a complex ion possessing quite different properties to those of the phosphorus ion of the phosphides.
The phosphides and phosphates may be taken as examples.
The accepted explanation is that the large amount of lime phosphates in the digestive canal of dogs is decomposed by oxalic acid, and the harmless lime oxalate formed.
The precipitate may contain phosphates of iron, magnesia, lime, and oxalate of lime.
The pseudo-coprolites of the Suffolk Crag have been estimated by Herapath to be as rich inphosphates as the true ichthyo-coprolites and saurio-coprolites of other formations, the proportion of P2O5 contained varying between 12.
Way, showed the presence of phosphates equivalent to 55.
Ferri phosphas, a slate-blue powder of ferrous and ferric phosphates with some oxide.
The reason for not draining away the water in which the beans are soaked is that it takes up some of the valuable salts, the phosphates for instance.

A considerable number of physiologically active organic phosphates can be found in the patent literature.
It had been a great advance when it had been shown that plants need phosphates in their soil.
From Inorganic to Organic Phosphates By the middle of the 19th century, the source of phosphorus in natural phosphates and the chemistry of its oxidation products had been established.
This led to the next question concerning the materials in the body of the plant for which phosphates were being used and into which they were incorporated.
Under the influence of ATP, phosphoglyceric acid is synthesized and further built up by way of carbohydrate phosphatesto hexose sugars and finally to starch.
The beneficial effects were obvious enough to increase the use of phosphates as plant nutrients and to call for new sources of supply.
Phosphates as Plant Nutrients One hundred years after the discovery of "cold light," the presence of phosphorus in plants and animals was ascertained, and its form was established as a compound of phosphoric acid.
Similarly, the knowledge that animals attain their phosphates from the digested plant food called, in the next step of scientific inquiry, for information on the nature of phosphates produced from this source.
In reverse, the wrong kind of phosphates can destroy life.
Specific phosphates were thus found to be indispensable for life.
Analyses of the slag show that the decomposition of the raw phosphates is very perfect, for the percentage of phosphorus left in the slag seldom exceeds 1 per cent.
