![EXPLANATION: This table shows what would result frone the mutual action of two chemical agents, if placed in con) tact. Thus the column headed sulphuric acid is designee to show, that barytes has a stronger affinity than any othe» body for that acid, and will detach it from any of the sue: ceeding substances in the list; and that strontia will sepaz rate it from potass; and so on of the rest. ‘This may be verified by actual experiment-—When, therefore, any question regarding decomposition occurs, if, for instance: we wish to know, whether potass will decompose sulphat* of magnesia, instead of putting the bodies together to try the experiment, we refer to the table, in order to save trou: ble; and there, under the head sulphuric acid, we find i stated, that potass has a stronger affinity for that acid thay magnesia, and, therefore, that it will decompose the above: mentioned salt.
