If mixed withan equal volume of chlorine, the gasescondense into an oily liquid, from whicholefiant gas has received its name. Withtwice its volume of chlorine, if it be seton fire, hydrochloric acid is formed, andcarbon is deposited as a dense blacksmoke. Olefiant gas also exists as one of thechief ingredients in the gas employedfor illuminating cities.
