For the purposes of experiment powdered manganese peroxide isusually taken and mixed with strong sulphuric acid in a flask, and theajDparatus set up as shown in Fig. 28. The gas which is evolved ispassed through a Woulfes bottle containing a solution of caustic potash,. Pi(j. 28. Preparation of oxygen from manganese peroxiile and sulphuric acid. The gas evolved is passed through a Woulfes bottle containing caustic potash. to purify it from carbonic anhydride and chlorine, which accompany theevolution of oxygen from commercial manganese peroxide, and the gas isnot collected until a thin smouldering taper placed in front of the escapeorifice bursts into flame, which shows that the gas coming offis this method of decomposition of the manganese peroxide hj sul- of the solutions of many substances in a higher degree of oxidation. In this respect wemay mention that Kassner (1890) proposes to obtain oxygen for laboratory purposes with FeK^lCNle (red prussiate of i^otash, Chapter XXII.): the reactionproceeds with the evolution of oxygen even on the addition of a very small quantity ofwater. In order to ensure a gradual evolution of gas the author proposes to introducebotli substances into the reaction, lit
