...was then found that the volume of hydrogen produced was double the volume of oxygen ; in other words, water is composed of two volumes of hydrogen to one of oxygen. Since one volume of oxygen, then, combines with two volumes of hydrogen, one-third of the contraction... | |

...Weighing the gases shows that the oxygen weighs eight times as much as the hydrogen. Thus it is shown that water is composed of two volumes of hydrogen to one of oxygen, or one unit of weight of hydrogen to eight of oxygen. From these measurements it is seen that when... | |

H2O, our intuitions and instincts both know it is not so. But they are bullied by the impudent mind. Whereas if we said that water, under certain circumstances, produces two volumes of hydrogen and one of oxygen, then the intuitions and instincts would...
