071(1 Salts in Muriate and Nitrate of Ammonia. 97 



6. The ferro-cyanate and chromate are not dissolved. 



7. The iodide is dissolved even in the cold. 



Salts of Zinc. — 1. The carbonate is dissolved even in a cold 

 solution of nuiriate of ammonia. 



2. The phosphate undergoes solution in the hot salt, as 

 does also the oxide. 



3. The oxalate is soluble in a hot solution of muriate of 

 ammonia. 



4. The ferro-cyanate of zinc does not appear to dissolve. 

 The nitrate of ammonia is a somewhat less perfect solvent 



than the muriate. 



Per-salts of Mercury. — 1. The oxide is dissolved by a so- 

 lution of muriate of ammonia, especially when heat is applied. 



2. The triple salt produced by adding ammonia to a per- 

 salt of mercury is dissolved in the hot solution of the an mo- 

 niacat salt. 



3. The carbonate is dissolved by a hot solution of muriate 

 of ammonia. 



4. The phosphate and oxalate are dissolved in the cold so- 

 lution of the ammoniacal salt. 



5. The period ide is speedily dissolved in a lukewarm so- 

 la tion of muriate of ammonia. 



6. The chromate is dissolved in the warm solution. 



The nitrate of ammonia acts in the same way as the muriate. 

 Proto-salts of Mercury. — 1. The sub-proto-nitrate does not 

 appear to undergo solution. 



2. The black oxide undergoes solution. 



3. The chloride, iodide, carbonate, phosphate, and tartrate 

 dissolve in hot or warm muriate of ammonia, less completely, 

 however, than the persalts. 



Nitrate of ammonia is not so good a solvent as the muriate. 



Proto-salts of Iron. — 1. Neither the oxide, carbonate, phos- 

 phate, nor prussiate seems to undergo solution in muriate of 

 ammonia or in the nitrate. 



Per-salts of Iron. — 1. The peroxide and its salts are si- 

 milarly situated with the protosalts. 



Salts of Antimony. — 1. The protoxide dissolves in a cold 

 solution of muriate of ammonia. 



2. The carbonate dissolves in the hot solution. 



3. The prussiate does not appear to suffer solution. The 

 nitrate of ammonia acts in the same way as the muriate. 



Salts of Silver. — 1. Chloride of silver readily tlissolvcs in hot 

 muriate of ammonia, from which solution muriatic acid does 

 not throw it down. 



2. The carbonate undergoes solution in the hot salt. 



3. The phosphate and oxalate undergo solution.
