"  latent  heat "  ?  In  what  changes  of  condition  is  heat  rendered  latent  ?  Explain 
the  action  of  a  mixture  of  salt  and  ice  in  lowering  the  temperature. 
2.  What  difference  is  there  in  the  electricity  developed  by  friction,  and  that 
developed  by  chemical  action  ?  Describe  several  of  the  more  important  forms 
of  galvanic  batteries  ?  Which  of  the  batteries  mentioned  develops  the  greatest 
electromotive  force? 
3.  State  the  distinction  between  a  binary  and  a  ternary  molecule.  r  When  is  the 
termination  ide  used?   When  ite  f   When  atef   Give  examples  in  each  case.
