A number of glass bottles were made and filled with azotic acid.
2
The other substances, azotic acid and potash, were all at his disposal.
3
But, after all, how was he going to employ this azotic acid?
4
They were a mixture of azotic gas and carbonic acid.
5
Some contain azotic gas, which contributes to produce nitre.
6
In default of fulminate, he could easily obtain a substance similar to guncotton, since he had azotic acid at his disposal.
7
Simply to produce azotic acid; and that was easy, since saltpeter, attacked by sulphuric acid, gives azotic, or nitric, acid by distillation.
8
But it would be easy to make some guncotton, or even ordinary powder, as we have azotic acid, saltpeter, sulphur, and coal.
9
Dr. Priestley obtained air of greater or less purity, both vital and azotic, from almost all the fossil substances he subjected to experiment.

Cyrus Harding then took two slips of zinc, one of which was plunged into azotic acid, the other into a solution of potash.
