Coil-a is Kxi'lqsioss If sixteen parts
of air be mixed with one of coal-gas, the
mixture will explode feebly, and with little
force; but if tho proportions be gradually
altered from sixteen parts of air and one of
coal gas down to ten parts of air and one of
coal gas, tne violence or explosive power of
tne mixture wtu be seen to increase grad
ually, until this latter mixture is reached,
when the explosive power attains Its maxi
mum If, now, we still go on diminishing
the proportion of atmospherlo air we shall see
that the explosive power of the mixture di
minishes, until we reach a point at which
two parts only of air are mixed with one of
coal gas, wnen tne power or explosion la tbe
mixture ceases altogether, or becomes ml.
Briefly, then, seventeen parts of atmospherlo
air and one of coal gas wilt neither explode
nor burn; ten parts of air and one of coal gas
will explode violently; and two parts of air
and one of gas will burn, hut will not ex
plode; and within the range of these limits
mixtures may be formed having any required
degree of explosive force.
