Pure?^^ ^ water is composed of two parts of hydrogen united with sixteen parts of oxygen by weight. 291. Another form of apparatus for the distillation of purewater on the small scale, is the Liebigs condenser (fig. 25),which consists of a flask or retort, A, into which the impurewater is placed, and is heated. The steam rises, and passesthrough the tube, BB, which is surrounded by an outer tube,CC, between which and the inner tube a stream of cold water. Inorganic Chemistry. 97 is allowed to pass from a reservoir above. The steam is thus
