Talle of the Quantity of Ammonia in 100 Parts, ly Weight, 

 of its aqueous Combinations at successive Densities. 



Near the two extremities of the table, the experimental and 

 computed specific gravities agree ; the reciprocal affinity then 

 balancing the peculiar expansivencss communicated by the am- 

 monia, which becomes conspicuous in the intermediate propor- 

 tions of water and gas. This fact is in unison with the general 

 laws of chemical combination. 



The agreement between the experimental points given in Sir 

 H. Davy's table, and the corresponding ones of the above, is 

 very satisfactory, and must consequently inspire confidence in 

 my results. 



Sinet 73-5 grains of distilled water exist in 100 of water of 

 ammonia, specific gravity 0-900, which occupy the volume of 

 rill 3 one part of water in bulk will be converted into almost 



exactly
