6. From the multiplied researches of chemists, it lias been 

 ascertained that the quantity of base necessary to saturate a given 

 weight of any acid must contain a determinate weight of oxygen. 

 Hence the following little table will greatly assist chemists in their 

 experiments ; — 



100 nitre acid require 14-66 oxygen
