About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1867 Excerpt: ...Magnesium. Symbol, Mg; Equivalent, 12, Specific Gravity, 1.74. 639. Magnesium is a soft, silvery, white metal, prepared from its chloride instead of the oxide, by means of potassium. Water oxidizes magnesium as it does the other metals of this class, but converts it into an insoluble white powder. Most acids dissolve it. None of the metals of this class have as yet been applied to any useful purpose in the arts, except magnesium. Magnesium is malleable and ductile, and volatile like zinc. It does not decompose water and oxidizes but slowly even in moist air. It is readily dissolved by acids. 640. Magnesium Light.--When magnesium is heated in the air it burns with great brilliancy, evolving a white light of great intensity. A magnesium wire one twenty-fifth of an inch in diameter coiled upon a spool is moved by clockwork and projected into the flame of an alcohol lamp. It burns with a remarkably even and tranquil flame, especially adapted for photographing by night or in any dark or subterranean locality. Such a light as here described is equal to 74 stearine candles. At present its cost, which is about ten dollars an hour, forbids its use except for the most important purposes. But there is no doubt that means will yet be found of producing magnesium at prices which will allow of the extensive employment of this magnificent light, so portable and so convenient for use in the arts. A light of almost any degree of intensity might be obtained by burning larger wires, or by burning several smaller wires at the same time. 638. Calcium--description, production and solvents? 639. Magnesium--description, preparation, solvents and occurrence? 640. Describe the magnesium light. CLASS THlRD. Alnminnm. Symbol, Al; Equivalent, 14; Specific Gravity, 2.56 to 2.67. 64L Alu...
