Defn: To convert into gas, or an aëriform fluid, as by the application of heat, or by chemical processes.
In present usage, since all of the supposed permanent gases have been liquified by cold and pressure, the term has resumed nearly its original signification, and is applied to any substance in the elastic or aëriform state.
In the form, or of the nature, of gas, or of an aëriform fluid.
Aëriform substances are elastic fluids, called vapors and gases, as air and oxygen gas.
Capable of wasting away, or of easily passing into the aëriform state; subject to evaporation.
The elastic, aëriform fluid into which water is converted when heated to the boiling points; water in the state of vapor.
The elastic, a\'89riform fluid into which water is converted when heated to the boiling points; water in the state of vapor.
Capable of wasting away, or of easily passing into the a\'89riform state; subject to evaporation.
Effervescence occasioned by fermentation or by any other process which causes the liberation of a gas or an a\'89riform fluid, as in the mixture of an acid with a carbonated alkali.
To convert into gas, or an a\'89riform fluid, as by the application of heat, or by chemical processes.
In the form, or of the nature, of gas, or of an a\'89riform fluid.
In present usage, since all of the supposed permanent gases have been liquified by cold and pressure, the term has resumed nearly its original signification, and is applied to any substance in the elastic or a\'89riform state.
But gauze will not keep away aëriform bodies, or fluids.
To convert into gas, or an aëriform fluid, as by the application of heat, or by chemical processes.
In present usage, since all of the supposed permanent gases have been liquified by cold and pressure, the term has resumed nearly its original signification, and is applied to any substance in the elastic or aëriform state.
In the form, or of the nature, of gas, or of an aëriform fluid.
In an aëriform body the particles are in a state of extreme tenuity, the molecules being themselves, by the influence of some repulsive force, just on the verge where cohesion exerts its decaying power.
Fluids, in passing into a gaseous form, also rob all surrounding bodies of an amount of heat necessary to maintain the aëriform condition.
We have thus a certain number of substances, which are convertible into elastic aëriform fluids by degrees of temperature, not much superior to that of our atmosphere.
Immediately the ether begins to boil with great violence, and is changed into an elastic aëriform fluid, which fills the receiver.
Of the Combinations of Caloric, and the Formation of Elastic Aëriform Fluids.
But, if these two powers only existed, bodies would become liquid at an indivisible degree of the thermometer, and would almost instantaneously pass from the solid state of aggregation to that of aëriform elasticity.
Of the Formation and Decomposition of Aëriform Fluids--of the Combustion of Simple Bodies--and the Formation of Acids.
Water thus saturated with ammoniac has usually been termed volatile alkaline fluor; we shall call it either simply ammoniac, or liquid ammoniac, and ammoniacal gas when it exists in the aëriform state.
Another species of experiment proves very evidently that the aëriform state is a modification of bodies dependent on the degree of temperature, and on the pressure which these bodies undergo.
The act of becoming arified, or of changing from a solid or liquid form into an ariform state; the state of being ariform.
Any ariform body; a gas; as, oxygen was formerly called vital air.
Were there no minus-pressure means, the solid, or perhaps aëriform state of matter would exist everywhere, and of motion there could be none.
As we will have occasion to notice a variety of aëriform fluids, especially when we treat of the aëriform products of fired gun-powder, a few remarks on this head may be useful at this time.
It certainly does; for though it is the pressure of the atmosphere which condenses it into a liquid, it is by forcing out the caloric that belongs to it when in an aëriform state.
Caloric affording the two electricities is decomposed, and one of them uniting with the oxygen, restores it to the aëriform state.
Its aëriform state is, I suppose, owing to the smaller proportion of oxygen, which renders it lighter than sulphuric acid?
Not so much as you imagine: for in such climates great part of the water which it requires for these processes is in an aëriform state, which is scarcely more conducive either to the growth or formation of vegetables than that of ice.
Very well; and this is precisely the case with boiling water, when it is converted into steam or vapour, and with all bodies that assume an aëriform state.
But why should the water, after the combustion of carbon, rise in the receiver, since the gas within it retains an aëriform state?
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "riform" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
