One-third to be deducted off all repairs and renewals.
for the purpose of obtaining smaller deviation, one part of the compound acts in opposition to the other, the resolving power of the opposing portion must be deducted in calculating the power of the whole.
The oxygen contained in the compound was deducted, together with the equivalent amount of hydrogen, and the heat of combustion of the compound was then taken to be equal to the heats of combustion of the elements in the residue.
We Have Then (26 1 30 (N 6)) R But The Numerator 3 Of This Fraction Becomes By Reduction I I N 40 Or 1 I N To (The 30 Being Rejected, As The Remainder Only Is Sought) =N Io(N I); Therefore, Ultimately, Must Be Deducted From J.
