Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Excerpt from Experimental Researches Concerning the Philosophy of Permanent Colours, Vol. 1: And the Best Means of Producing Them It will be seen, also, that in the following pages I have not adopted the name of chlorine, by which Sir H. Davy would distinguish that substance, which Scheele suppos ed to be muriatic acid, freed from hydrogene; and which Berthollet afterwards, with the general concurrence of modern chemists, declared to be muriatic acid, com bined with oxy gene; whence It was denominated oxyge nated muriatic acid, and by abbreviation, oxymuriatic acid. Whether Sir H. Davy be correct in adopting Scheele's view of the nature of the oxymuriatic, and the muriatic acids, and in concluding, as he has dohe from his'own experiments, that the former (chlorine) is a simple or elementary substance, and that the latter Consists of hydrogene and chlorine in equal volumes; or whether the French chemists, (in conceding to Davy, that no experiment has yet incontestably proved that oxymuriatic acid gas contains oxygene) are, notwith standing, justified in concluding, that the theory which admits or~ supposes this to be the case, is more natural, and accords better with the whole system of chemicitl facts, than the Opposite theory, is a question which seems to be yet attended with doubt and difficulty; and so long as any doubt remains on this subject, I' think it best to abstain from such changes of names, of which there have already been but too many; and even if a new name were expedient for the oyxmuriatic acid, I should think that of chlorine, as a radical, to have been ill chosen, because its indication of a.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating history of dyeing and calico-printing, delving into the techniques and materials used to create vibrant colors on fabrics. The author takes readers on a journey through time, tracing the evolution of these crafts from ancient civilizations to the era of European exploration and the discovery of new dye sources. The book examines the role of key substances, particularly alum, in transforming the art of dyeing. It explains how the discovery of mordants, like alum, allowed for the creation of more vibrant and permanent colors on fabrics, revolutionizing the field. Through detailed historical accounts, the book highlights the profound influence of cultural exchange and trade on the development of these crafts, showcasing how knowledge and techniques were transmitted across continents.
