Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.12P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the importance of the observation of more weight of calx than metal is to be determined. Also, the phlogistonists’ response to this observation is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
According to phlogiston theory, every combustible substance contains an undetectable material called phlogiston that is released when it is burnt. The quantity of phlogiston in all combustible substances is variable. The substances like charcoal have a high quantity of phlogiston in them and therefore it is highly combustible. The substances like metals that contain less amount of phlogiston in them are slightly combustible.
