Upon these ashes water is poured, which, filtrating through the hole in the bottom of the vessel, carries with it the potass contained in the ashes, and forms a very strong lye of the colour of strong beer: this lye they call sai-gee, ash-water. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Dr. Watson also recommends a _drink_, prepared of a drachm of _chlorate of potass_ to a pint of water, and has found great improvement from the use of a pint to a pint and a half of this solution daily. ❋ Charles Munde (N/A)
As good a formula as any is: Potass ferricyanide, 300 grains; potass bromide, 100 grains, water 20 ounces; Ammonium bromide may be used in place of the potassium salt in the above formula; the difference is not marked, but the ammonium compound tends to give a somewhat warmer brown or sepia. ❋ John A. Tennant (N/A)
Our ashes produced a potass of fine colour, and we did not doubt of succeeding, when we should have sent a sample of it to ❋ Pierre Raymond De Brisson (N/A)
The ashes consist of potass, lime, alumina, and iron in the state of carbonates, sulphates, muriates, and phosphates, and a small portion of silica. ❋ P. L. Simmonds (N/A)
As an additional means of secrecy, the messages may be transmitted invisibly, by moistening the paper with diluted muriatic acid alone, the writing being rendered legible by a solution of prussiate of potass. ❋ Various (N/A)
A short while after her death my father received a letter from the chemist at Paris, informing him that the sample of potass which he had sent to France was nothing but marine salt, and some particles of potass and saltpetre. ❋ Pierre Raymond De Brisson (N/A)
Some days after this jaunt, my father endeavoured to find whether the plants with which the island was covered would be useful in making potass. ❋ Pierre Raymond De Brisson (N/A)
We then commenced the making of potass, waiting for the surrender of the colony. ❋ Pierre Raymond De Brisson (N/A)
Finally 100 grams of whiting, dry and sifted, are mixed with 5 grams of pulverised supertartrate of potass; this new powder is dissolved in a portion of the above described liquid, in sufficient quantity to form a paste of the proper consistency to be spread with a pencil on the article or part to be gilded. ❋ Daniel Young (N/A)
Green copperas water, which is a solution of sulphate of iron, is often used by the American and English tobacconists and planters, to colour and flavor their tobacco; and this would be decomposed by the potass of the tobacco, and sulphate of potass and carbonate of iron is formed. ❋ P. L. Simmonds (N/A)
But as he had great expectations from the manufacture of potass, he made us stay, as we would be of great service to him in the end, for superintending the works of that manufacture. ❋ Pierre Raymond De Brisson (N/A)
Take of linseed oil 2-1/2 galls., spirits of turpentine 2-1/2 galls., western petroleum 1 gall., liquor potass 8 oz., sap green ❋ Daniel Young (N/A)
A mixture of potass bichromate and hydrochloric acid gives silver chloride, as does also a solution of chlorine, though in the former case the presence of the chromium compounds affects the color obtained. ❋ John A. Tennant (N/A)
It is the precipitate of the salt of protoxide of iron with red prussiate of potass. ❋ Joseph Triemens (N/A)
Into a pint gem-jar put water 10 parts, sulphuric acid 1 part, potass, bichromate 1 part. ❋ Ontario. Ministry Of Education (N/A)
Chlorate of potass -- Liquor calcii chloridi 62 92. ❋ Charles Munde (N/A)
Finally, 100 grams of sifted whiting are mixed with 10 grams of pulverised supertartrate of potass and one gram of mercury. ❋ Daniel Young (N/A)
He observes that if we attend only to the iron contained, why every plant will be found to require a ferruginous soil; but tobacco contains a notable quantity of nitrate of potass and muriate of ammonia (the latter a most rare ingredient in plants), and these two salts are infinitely more likely to affect the flavor of the leaf than a small portion of oxide of iron, an inert body. ❋ P. L. Simmonds (N/A)
You will find, after supper, that soda-mints and potass-water are more than grateful and comforting. ❋ Thomas Burke (1915)
