...an atom of hydrogen, forms the compound water. But, as every drop of water, however small, consists of eight parts, by weight, of oxygen, and one part, by weight, of hydrogen, it follows that an atom of oxygen is eight times heavier than an atom of hydrogen. In the same manner,... | |

...exactly the same proportions, however that compound may have been formed. Thus, water invariably consists of eight parts by weight of oxygen, and one part by weight of hydrogen, no matter whether that water exist naturally, in the form of ice, snow, rain, or steam, or be produced... | |

...that of the simultaneous decomposition of water and of chloride of silver fused — then for every eight parts by weight of oxygen, and one part by weight of hydrogen liberated, there will be 108 parts by weight of silver, and 35-45 of chlorine ; such being the equivalent... | |

...and that of silver 108. Every equivalent of water consequently, regardless of its source, contains eight parts by weight of oxygen, and one part by weight of hydrogen, making a totality of 9, which is the combining weight .of the water. So also one equivalent of oxide... | |
