Thesebeing placed in the flask, a, Fig. 69, and the heat of a lampapplied, the chlorine will rise, and pass down the tube intothe globe, Z>, where any water it contains is condensed. Under what pressure is this gas condensed into a liquid? How many•ompounds of chlorine and oxygen are known ? Do the compounds of chlo-rine and oxygen possess any value in the arts ? In what relation are thecompounds of chlorine and oxygen interesting? CHLORINE AND 69. 191. Rising from b, the gas passes through the tube, c, contain-ing chloride of calcium, by the absorption of which, it willbe deprived of all moisture, so that it will arrive at e, whichcontains the sulphur, in a perfectly dry state. The globe,e, must be gently heated by means of a spirit lamp, so as tomelt the sulphur. By these means, the sulphur and chlorine are made tocombine and pass in the gaseous state into the globe, being kept cold by means of a stream of water fromthe cistern, A, the compound is condensed into the liquidform. The quantity of water is regulated by means of thestop-cock, i. affixed to the tube, A, and falls from the globeinto the dish, o. The superfluous gas passes off into theopen air, by the waste pipe, I. By this method small quan-tities of the chloruret of sulphur may be formed. Chloruret of sulphur is a yellowish red fluid, of a pecu-liar and disagreeable odor, whose boiling point is 346°. Itsinks in water, by which, in a s
