Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the production of dephlogisticated air (now better understood as oxygen) from various metallic and non-metallic substances, including metals, semi-metals, earths, and even glass. The author, a leading scientist from the 18th century, uses a variety of methods, including distillation and combustion, to extract and measure the gases produced. Through these experiments, the author investigates the relationship between dephlogisticated air and nitrous air (nitrous oxide), shedding light on the composition of the atmosphere and the nature of gases. The findings presented in this book laid the groundwork for understanding the role of oxygen in combustion, respiration, and other chemical processes, shaping the development of modern chemistry.
