Page 128 - ... words, 1 volume oxygen + 2 volumes hydrogen — » 2 volumes steam. One volume may represent a liter, quart, cubic centimeter, or any unit or fraction of a unit as long as the experimenter is consistent. This fact leads to the law of combining volumes which states that "in every case, the volumes of the gases used and produced in a chemical change can always be represented by the ratio of small whole numbers.

Page 75 - When any two elements, A and B, combine to form more than one compound, the weights of A which unite with any fixed weight of B bear the ratio of small whole numbers to each other.
Page 139 - Avogadro's principle or hypothesis, which states that equal volumes of all gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules, was the extension of Dalton's Atomic Theory necessary to put the theoretical interpretation of chemistry on a solid foundation.

A great many different chemical reactions can be arranged in such a way as to accomplish this result, and the combination known as the Daniell cell will serve as an illustration of the most familiar types of cells. In this combination two plates, one of copper and the other of zinc, each fashioned...
