Examples of volatilizes in a Sentence
The oxychloride, bromides, and other compounds were subsequently discovered; here we need only notice Moissan's preparation of the trifluoride and Thorpe's discovery of the pentafluoride, a compound of especial note, for it volatilizes unchanged, giving a vapour of normal density and so demonstrating the stability of a pentavalent phosphorus compound (the pentachloride and pentabromide dissociate into a molecule of the halogen element and phosphorus trichoride).
This artifice is specially valuable when the substance decomposes or volatilizes in a warm current of carbon dioxide.
In the oxyhydrogen flame silver boils, forming a blue vapour, while platinum volatilizes slowly, and osmium, though infusible, very readily.
It has also been shown that gold volatilizes when a gold-amalgam is distilled.
The barium salt is extracted by water and boiled with nitric acid, when the osmium volatilizes in the form of its tetroxide.
The salt volatilizes (mostly in the form of a mixed vapour of the two components, which reunite on cooling), and condenses in the dome in the form of a characteristically fibrous and tough crust.
It volatilizes slowly at ordinary temperatures, but rapidly on heating.
The residue is then heated in a current of superheated steam, in which the boric acid volatilizes and distils over.
It crystallizes in colourless cubes and volatilizes when heated very strongly.
The tetrachloride, WC1 41 is obtained by partial reduction of the higher chlorides with hydrogen; a mixture of the pentaand hexa-chloride is distilled in a stream of hydrogen or carbon dioxide, and the pentachloride which volatilizes returned to the flask several times.
By passing bromine vapour over red-hot tungsten dioxide a mixture of WO 2 Br 2 and WOBr4 is obtained, from which the latter can be removed by gently heating when it volatilizes.
The dioxybromide forms light red crystals or a yellow powder; it volatilizes at a red heat, and is not acted upon by water.
It crystallizes in needles or prisms and volatilizes when heated, giving a pale yellow vapour.
It melts easily and volatilizes.
