ACTION  S 
Very    violent  reaction, 
giving  on  wnibe  £uint!>j  me 
liquid    changing    in  color 
from  a  pink  to  a  purple, 
then  to  a  green,  and  ulti- 
mately to  a  brown,  forming 
a  uniform  mixture. 
VITH  EEAGE1 
Violent  reaction,  with  ef- 
Ltr  I  V  V  M.  c  U\>C  cbllu  ge  lie  1  <t  I  lull 
of  white  fumes,  the  bro- 
mine dissolving  slightly  in 
the  oil,  precipitating  a  lit- 
tle brownish  resinous  mat- 
ter, forming  two  layers. 
J  T  S. 
Violent  fulmination,

fumes;  much  of  the  oil 
was  thrown  out  of  the

more  bromine,  the  same 
action  was  observed

Solution 
Rvom  i  r»  p 
JL>L  J  lAl  I  L1C 
No  violent  reaction,  form- 
ing two  strata,  the  lower 
layer  passing  through  the 
different    shades  of  pink, 
purple  and  a  reddish-brown. 
The  solution  of  bromine 
sinking  to  the  bottom,  pro- 
ducing    no  perceptible 
change  on  the  superna- 
tant oil. 
Evolving  white  fumes, 
forming  two  layers,  the  up- 
per being  of  a  pink,  and 
changing  to  a  green  color, 
the  lower  stratum,  at  first 
of  a  purple,  becoming  dark 
brown  on  standing. 
Iodine. 
Without  any  visible  reac- 
tion, forming  a  dark  brown 
thick  liquid,  with  a  slight 
deposit,  which  is  afterwards 
dissolved  in  the  upper  stra- 
tum. 
Soluble  only  to  a  very 
slight  extent,  the  oil  as- 
suming a  pale  red  color, 
gradually  changing  to  a 
dark  brown. 
Fulminates  with  energy, 
giving  off  violet  vapors,  the 
temperature  rising  from 
72Q  F.  to  152°  F.  (80  deg.j, 
the  oil  changing  in  color  to 
a  reddish-brown,  with  a 
precipitate  of  a  soft  dark 
brown  mass,  emitting  a 
terebinthinaceous  and  em- 
pyreumatic  odor. 
Solution 
Iodine. 
On   the  addition  of  the 
etherial  solution  to  the  oil, 
a  spreading  of  the  mixture 
is  produced,  which  extends 
to  the  rim  of  the  crystal,  re- 
turning to  the  centre,  leav- 
ing undulating  lines  on  the 
sides  of  the  crystal.  On 
standing,  it  forms  two  lay- 
ers— the  upper  of  a  reddish 
brown  color,  the  lower  dark 
brown,  of  a  thick  consist- 
ence. 
Producing  also  a  spread- 
ing, but  with  circular  wavy 
lines,  the  upper  stratum 
being  of  a  light  red,  and 
the  lower  of  a  dark  brown 
color. 
No  violent  reaction,  and 
but  little  spreading,  the 
solution   settling   to  the 
bottom  of  the  crystal  hav- 
ing acquired  a  dark  brown 
color,  the  upper  stratum 
having  a  light  red  color. 
Sulphu- 
ric Acid. 
Producing  a  deposit  of  a  | 
reddish  brown  color,  having 
a  resinous  appearance. 
It  only  imparts  to  the 
acid  which  sinks  to  the 
bottom  of  the  crystal  a  red- 
dish brown  color, with  com- 
paratively little  deposit. 
Emitting  white  fumes  of 
a  terebinthinous  odor,  the 
acid  forming  with  the  oil  a 
compound  of  a  reddish- 
brown  color. 
Hydrochlo- 
ric Acid. 
Forming  two  layers,  the 
oil  assuming  a  reddish  color 
on  standing. 
No  change  in  color. 
Forms  two  layers,  the 
oil  changing  to  a  yellowish 
green  color;  when  mixed 
together  by  agitation,  a 
milky  mixture  is  produced. 
Nitric  Acid. 
Changing  the  oil  at  first 
to  a  red,  which  becomes 
darker  in  color.   Cn  stand- 
ing some  time,  a  large  quan- 
tity of  a  brown  resinous 
matter  is  formed  on  the 
surface. 
JNo  change  in  color  is 
perceptible.    After  stand- 
ing 24-  hours,  a  film  is  pro- 
duced of  a  light  yellowish 
color,  floating  on  the  sur- 
face of  the  mixture. 
No  change  at  first,  but 
after  standing  24  hours  a 
light  brown  color  is  pro- 
duced, forming  two  layers.
