The ammonia ofthis salt is- slowly decomposed by the chlorine, with the for-mation of hydrochloric acid andnitrogen chloride. As the chlorine is absorbed, thelevel of the liquid in the jar risesand a drop of a yellow liquid sooncollects on the surface. A light tapon the vessel causes it to sink throughthe solution into the saucer. Thisoily body is nitrogen chloride. Thejar may now be removed and a smallpiece of phosphorus thrown into thesaucer, and pushed from a distancetowards the drop of nitrogen chlorideby the aid of a long wooden Fig. 59.
