Page 42 - ... filled with water. The gas given off from each terminal rises and collects in the upper portion of the tubes. Oxygen rises from the terminal by which the current enters the liquid and hydrogen from the terminal by which it leaves. Oxygen is therefore collected in one tube and hydrogen in the other. Two volumes of hydrogen and one volume of oxygen unite to form water, and hence in its decomposition the volume of hydrogen collected is twice that of the oxygen. Other liquids may be decomposed by...

Page 123 - From what has been stated in connection with the consideration of acids and bases, the nature of salts is already sufficiently characterized. Thus, a salt is a neutral compound resulting as a product of the interaction of an acid with a base ; or a salt is a neutral compound which is formed when the hydrogen of an acid is replaced by a metal. So it appears that a salt may be formed in the following ways : — (1) By the. neutralization of an acid with a base, as, for example, sodium sulphate Na2SO4...
