The bot-tle is to be arranged in a small furnace, and made red hot;the manganese loses one third of its oxygen, which maybe collected in a gas-holder, as shown in the figure. The most convenient mode of preparing it is to place ina flask, a, Fig. 150, a mixture of chlorate of potash andperoxide of manganese ; to the mouth of the flask a tube,b, is adapted by means of a tight cork, the lower end of the In what bodies does oxygen occur ? Describe its preparation from of mercury, from peroxide of manganese, and from chlorate of potash. PREPARATION OF OXYGEN. 171 Fig.
