XII. Action of Binoxalate of Pot ash on Black Oxide of Man- 

 ganese. 



M. Van-Mons has observed, that if into any vessel containing 

 black oxide of manganese we pour a hot solution of binoxalate 

 of potash, and after agitating the mixture throw it upon a filter, 

 -we obtain a liquid of a fine red colour. During ihe action of 

 the acid on the oxide, a quantity of carbonic acid is disengaged.
