THE ANALYSIS OF CADMIUM BROMIDE. 23 The apparatus used for the fusion of the salt in nitrogen and hydrobromic-acid gases was employed in the preparation of ferrous bromide by one of us/and is a modification of apparatus used for a similar purpose in the determina-tion of the atomic weight of cobalt,^ in this laboratory. Nitrogen was preparedby passing air through concentrated ammonia solution in the bottle F (fig. 3)and then over hot copper gauze in the hard-glass tube G. The excess of am-.

The gaswas then conducted into an apparatus constructed wholly of glass, with groundjoints, which consisted of a tower, J, filled with beads moistened with silver ni-trate solution to remove sulphur compounds, two similar towers, K and L, con-taining dilute sulphuric acid to ehminate last traces of ammonia, and twotowers, M and N, filled with sticks of fused potassiimi hydroxide to absorbmoisture and carbon dioxide. The partially dried gas, after bubbling throughbromine in a small flask, P, passed into a second flask, Q, containing concentratedhydrobromic-acid solution in which washed red phosphorus was suspended, toconvert the bromine into hydrobromic acid.
