The 15 cubic inches before the experiment, consisted of

cub. in.

Oxygene 4

Nitrogene 11

Hence it appeared, that 2,6 cubic inches of oxygene had been consumed,

2 cubic inches of carbonic acid produced, and about 0,4 of nitrogene

lost.

The relation between the quantities of oxygene consumed in this

experiment, and the carbonic acid produced, are nearly the same as

that of those in the experiments just detailed; but the quantity of

nitrogene lost is much smaller.
