Page 81 - Avogadro's principle or hypothesis, which states that equal volumes of all gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules, was the extension of Dalton's Atomic Theory necessary to put the theoretical interpretation of chemistry on a solid foundation.
Page 141 - The total energy of any material system is a quantity which can neither be increased nor diminished by any action between the parts of the system, though it may be transformed into any of the forms of which energy is susceptible...

Page 121 - Law (1803), which gives the relation between solubility and pressure, and which asserts that the volume of gas absorbed by a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas...
Page 24 - The law of reciprocal proportions states that the weights of different elements which combine separately with one and the same weight of another element are either the same as, or are simple multiples of, the weights of these different multiples which combine with each other.
Page 25 - ... volumes. The relation between the volumes of gases which combine, and the volumes of the compounds produced, is found to be equally simple in all cases, and is expressed in the general statement known as the Law of Gay-Lussac. When chemical action takes place between gases, the volume of the gaseous product bears a simple relation to the -volumes of the reacting gases. Avogadro's hypothesis.

Page 596 - This salt separates as a white curdy precipitate when hydrochloric acid or a soluble chloride is added to a solution of a lead salt. It is also made by dissolving lead oxide or carbonate in hot hydrochloric acid.
Page 47 - ... the primary form of alumine or corundum is a rhomboid, which differs only a few degrees from that which is the primary form of peroxide of iron or specular iron ore. The law of isomorphism, as announced by Mitscherlich in its utmost generality, is as follows: 'The same number of atoms combined in the same way produce the same crystalline form, and the same crystalline form is independent of the chemical nature of the atoms, and is determined only by their number and relative position.
Page 116 - The relative lowering of vapor pressure is proportional to the ratio of the number of molecules of the dissolved substance to the total number of molecules in the solution.
