CHEMISTRY WITHOUT A LABORATORY. 97 FORMATION OF SALTS—INSTANTANEOUSCRYSTALLIZATION. We are aware that caustic soda or oxide of sodiumis an alkaline, production endowed with very energeticproperties; it blisters the skin and destroys organicmatter. Sulphuric acid is endowed with not less destructiveproperties : a drop falling on the hand will produceintense pain, and cause a terrible burn ; a piece of woodplunged into this acijd is carbonised iriimediately. If we mix forty-nine grammes of sqlphuric acid and p? 1 / /^Sv^.
