PEOF. W. A. BONE AND OTHEES ON 



40 and 41, we may give the following summarised figures, from which it will be seen 

 that there was practically no change in pressure after explosion and that approximately 

 20 per cent, of the original methane remained intact in the final products :

Explosion of Mixture CH, + 0, + 2CO in Bomb B. 



The following two experiments with a mixture CHi + 2 +2CO, were carried out in 

 bomb B,. for purposes of comparison with the corresponding experiments with the mix- 

 ture CH, 4- (X + 2H., ( ride Table VIII., p. 303). There was no deposition of carbon during 

 the explosion, but some moisture condensed on cooling, and the final pressure was 

 approximately ( J per cent, greater than that of the original mixture. Taking the mean 

 of the two experiments, 47 per cent, of the original methane remained intact in 

 the products, as compared with an average of 2 '9 per cent, in the corresponding 

 experiment with the mixture
