The gas thus obtained, when well washed, does notexhibit any acid characters; if a portion of carbonate ofammonia be suspended in a muslin bag in the interior of ajar containing it, no action will ensue. It extinguishes mostburning bodies ; but phosphorus, or charcoal, readily burnsin it, if introduced in a state of intense ignition. It is ratherheavier than common air; 100 cubic inches weighing 32grains. 582. At high temperatures it undergoes decomposition byi»n action of some of the metals. One volume of nitric oxideis by these means resolved into equal volumes of oxygen and nitrogen, the annexed symbol will therefore afford a just represen- j tation of its composi- — tion. 583. The most remarkable property of this gas is thechange which it undergoes on admixture with oxygen gas;re
