Project Gutenberg 2008-08-09 Public domain in the USA. 79 Scheele, Carl Wilhelm 1742 1786 Discovery of Oxygen, Part 2 Produced by Bryan Ness, Viv and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Discovery of Oxygen, Part 2" by Carl Wilhelm Scheele is a scientific publication written in the late 18th century. This work focuses on Scheele's experiments and theories regarding the discovery of oxygen and its properties, detailing the chemical processes involved. The book illustrates the foundational work of natural philosophy that eventually contributed to modern chemistry. The text contains a detailed account of various experiments conducted by Scheele to isolate and understand the nature of oxygen. Through his meticulous method, he explores the composition of air, identifying its constituent gases and discussing how other substances interact with it. For instance, he describes experiments that showcase the reactions between fire and different types of air, yielding observations about fire-air and vitiated air. Scheele argues against previous theories and presents new methodologies that clarify the role of gases in combustion and respiration, thereby laying the groundwork for the understanding of oxygen as it is known today.
