The ammoniacal carbonate, In like man- 

 ner, exhibits no appearance of earth. 



The tIn<Sture of turnfole becoming red, 

 (hows that this acid is difengaged : 



Its effervefcence with the ammoniacal 

 carbonate, that it is not a weak acid. 



Its not precipitating with the muriate of 

 barytes, fhows that this acid is not the ful- 

 phuric. 



The copious white fleeces produced with 

 the nitrate of filver, prove that this acid is 

 the muriatic. 



Eighty grains of this liquor remained 

 after I had made thefe experiments, and on 

 this I poured nitrate of filver feveral times 

 till no precipitation followed. This preci- 

 pitate being edulcorated, dried, and weighed, 

 was found to be eight grains : whence, the 

 muriatic acid, according to the calculations 

 of Bergmaun, compofing the fourth part
