The protoxide of nitrogen is a colorless transparentgas, having a sweetish taste. It is soluble in water,that liquid dissolving about… … ITS PROPERTIES. 259 is therefore half as heavy again as air, and may be col-lected by displacement, the specific gravity being thesame as that of carbonic acid. It may be liquefied at45° by a pressure of fifty atmospheres, and at 150° be-low zero freezes into a transparent crystalline solid. Inthe…
