On a New Synthesis of Ammonia

| Summary: | It having been shown by one of us that formic acid is produced by the union of carbonic acid and nascent hydrogen, it occurred to the authors to try whether other gases might not be made to unite directly with nascent hydrogen. Such experiments gave the prospect of being of especial interest in the case of nitrogen, as it was possible the synthesis of ammonia might thus be effected by the direct union of nitrogen and hydrogen. |
