Seite 311 - Mr. Cornelius heated one end of a piece of thick plated copper to nearly the melting point of the metal; the silver at this end disappeared, and when the metal was cleaned by a solution of dilute sulphuric acid, the end which had been heated presented a uniform surface of copper, whilst the other end exhibited its proper coating of silver.

Seite 336 - becomes necessary, on account of the affinity this substance has for oxygen at high temperature, to exclude from it air and moisture. To accomplish this in the most perfect manner it should be enclosed in a Torricellian vacuum.
Seite 312 - Silver coins slightly alloyed with copper, after having lain long in the earth, are found covered with a salt of copper. This may be explained by supposing that the alloy of copper at the surface of the coin enters into combination with the carbonic acid of the soil, and being thus removed, its place is supplied by a diffusion from within, and...
