| Summary: | This communication is principally devoted to an attempt to determine the formula of silica, and to the relation of some remarkable results obtained in this research. After giving some account of the grounds on which the three different formulas now in use among chemists (viz. SiO 3 , SiO 2 , and SiO) had been advocated, the author proceeds to state, that it appeared to him that the direct method which had been followed by Rose deserved the preference. This method consists in determining the quantity of carbonic acid which is displaced from excess of an alkaline carbonate in fusion, by a given weight of silica. |
