This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1850 edition. Excerpt: ...cast iron; of a silvery white colour. It does not rust when exposed even to damp air. Its sp. gr. is about 8-5. It is nearly as magnetic as iron, and retains its magnetism, resembling in that respect steel rather than pure iron. In its permanency of lustre, nickel resembles the precious metals, and its alloys are of singular brilliancy and whiteness. It is hence that, added to brass in the proportion of one to five, it is employed as a substitute for silver, constituting the German silver, nickel silver, argentine, and British plate of commerce, as well as the packfong long used in China. The symbol of nickel is Ni.; its equivalent 369-7 or 29-6. Oarides of.N'ickel.--This metal combines with oxygen in two proportions, forming a protoxide and a sesqigioxide. 366 'COBALT AND rrs oxinss. I The protoride, Ni.O., is prepared by precipitating a salt of nickel by caustic potash; agrass-green hydrated oxide of nickel separates, Ni.O.+H.O., which, when dry, gives the pure ash-gray oxide. This is the only oxide of nickel which forms salts. It is not, by itself, soluble in water of ammonia; but if a salt of nickel be decomposed by ammonia, the precipitate which first forms is dissolved on adding an excess of the alkali, forming a blue solution, in a great degree characteristic of this metal. The Peroxide of Nickel, Ni, O, is a black powder, prepared by boiling the protoxide in a solution of chloride of lime; the oxygen of the lime changes the protoxide into peroxide, 2Ni.O. and Ca.O.Cl. producing Ni, .0, and Ca.Cl. When ignited, this oxide gives oxygen and protoxide; with muriatic acid it forms protochloride and chlorine. It does not form any true salts. Nickel is easily recognised by its solutions giving with ammonia a teen precipitate, which...
