2904 ON THE COMBINATIONS OF 
having imparted to it a given quantity of heat, is 
in the inverse ratio of its specific heat, the cal- 
culations stand thus :— 
One atom Oil of Vitriol and one atom Water. 
Sp. Heat. Temp. produced. 
0.4495 x 184° — 82.7. And 82.7 ~ 1 the 
specific heat of water = 82°.7 the temperature 
which an equal weight of water would be raised 
by the heat required to raise the compound 184°. 
One atom Oil of Vitriol and two atoms Water. 
Sp. Heat. Temp. produced. 
0.4834 x 211°= 102. And 102 ~ 1 the spe- 
cific heat of water = 102° the temperature which 
an equal weight of water would be raised by the 
heat required to raise the compound 211°. 
One atom Oil of Vitriol and three atoms Water. 
Sp. Heat. Temp. produced. 
0.5184 x 207° = 107.3. And 107.3 ~+ 1 the 
specific heat of water = 107°.3 the temperature 
which an equal weight of water would be raised 
by the heat required to raise the compound 207°. 
One atom Oil of Vitriol and four atoms Water. 
Sp. Heat. Temp. produced. 
0.5660 x 189°= 106.9. And 106.9 +1 the 
specific heat of water = 106°.9 the temperature
