artificial carbonat. It loses its air more easily in the fire, and difsolves
more quickly in acids than natural carbonat, but is in every other re
ſpect the ſame.
19. The pruſsiat of potaſh or of lime do not in the leaſt precipitate
strontites from its solutions in acids; in which property it differs re
markably from barytes.
20. With sulphur it forms a hepar, either in the dry or humid way,
in the fame manner as lime.
21. Crystals of caustic strontites were difsolved, but very sparingly,
by alcohol, which afterwards burned with a reddiſh flame.
The following is the order of attractions of the acids for stron
tites : Sulphuric acid, oxalic, tartarous, fluoric, nitric, muriatic, suc
cinic, phosphoric, acetous, arsenical, boracic, carbonic.
Strontites compared with other alkaline substances in its force of at
traction for the different acids.
