He made the amalgam in a concentrated form, and it was added in various proportions to the mercury used for gold amalgamation. Water becoming present, it will readily be understood that the sodium, in being converted into the hydrate (KHO) of that metal, caused a rapid evolution of hydrogen. The hydrogen thus evolved was the excess over a certain proportion which enters into combination with the mercury. While the mercury ...
