 Gas 2 ex- ^^' ^' ^^^J respired during thirteen minutes; 100 



amined. parts were reduced by lime water to 92*5, and these by the 



tests for oxigen to 77. Of these 77 parts, 20 being mixed 

 with 10 of oxigen, and detonated, were diminished to 4; 

 and these 4 being examined for oxigen left 3, which must 

 be azote : 



From these 3 



Deduct 0-3 for azote in the 10 parts oxigen.
