Common salt is composed of chlorine and sodium, and when acted upon by sulphuric acid the following changes take place:—the water of the sulphuric acid is decomposed; its oxygen uniting with the sodium forms soda^ which combines with the sulphuric acid and forms sulphate of soda; and the chlorine uniting with the hydrogen of the water forms muriatic acid gas^ which passes over, and is condensed by the water in the receiver, the sulphate of soda with excess of sul- phuric acid remaining in the retort. Before it was discovered that chlorine is a simple body, common salt was regarded as a muriate of soda, and when acted upon by sulphuric acid, it was ex- plained, that the sulphuric acid unites with the soda forming sulphate ofsoda^ and that the mwriatic acid being set free passes into the receiver in a gaseous form, and is condensed by the water.
