Composition of Am-monia.—200 volumesof ammonia gas are in-troduced into an eudi-ometer, and electricsparks are passedthrough the gas forsome time by means ofa Ruhmkorff coil (). When the experiment has terminated, the volume ofgas will be found to have doubled. 200 volumes of oxygenare added to the 400 volumes of gas thus obtained, and a sparkis passed; an explosion takes place, and after making the.
