CHEMISTRY, PART I.-SECOND HONOURS PAPER. The Board of Examiners.

N.B.-Candidates are instructed to give equations for chemical changes and to supplement these equations verbally, e.g. as to the conditions under which the change occurs, the characters of the products, &c.

1. What do you understand by the atomic volume of an element? What relation has been proved to exist between the atomic volumes and atomic weights? Explain fully.

2. Discuss the different ways in which an acid may act on a salt in presence of water.

3. Give an account of the preparation, the properties, and the probable constitution, of each of the following potassium salts:-(1) thiosulphate; (2) fluosilicate; (3) chloroplatinate; (4) ferrocyanide; (5) bichromate.

4. The element manganese may be compared, from different points of view, to each of the following: -iron, lead, sulphur, chlorine. Explain this statement as fully as you can.

5. Give a sketch (selecting your own examples), of the chief methods used by chemists for determining the atomic weight of an element.

6. Describe a laboratory process for detecting the metals in a mixture of the following salts:silver nitrate, ferrous sulphate, magnesium sulphate.

(α) ἀλλ ̓ ἢ πνοαῖσιν ἢ βαθυσκαφεῖ κάνει

κρύψον νιν, ἔνθα μήποτ' εἰς εὐνὴν πατρὸς
τούτων πρόσεισι μηδέν· ἀλλ ̓ ὅταν θάνῃ
κειμήλι ̓ αὐτῇ ταῦτα σωζέσθω κάτω.
ἀρχὴν δ ̓ ἂν, εἰ μὴ τλημονεστάτη γυνὴ
πασῶν ἔβλαστε, τάσδε δυσμενεῖς χοὰς
οὐκ ἄν ποθ ̓, ὅν γ' ἔκτεινε, τῷδ' ἐπέστεψε.
σκέψαι γὰρ εἴ σοι προσφιλῶς αὐτῇ δοκεῖ
γέρα τάδ' οὖν τάφοισι δέξασθαι νέκυς,
ὑφ ̓ ἧς θανὼν ἄτιμος, ὥστε δυσμενής,
ἐμασχαλίσθη κἀπὶ λουτροῖσιν κάρα
κηλῖδας ἐξέμαξεν. ἆρα μὴ δοκεῖς
λυτήρι ̓ αὐτῇ ταῦτα του φόνου φέρειν;
οὐκ ἔστιν. ἀλλὰ ταῦτα μὲν μέθες· σὺ δὲ
τεμοῦσα κρατὸς βοστρύχων ἄκρας φόβας
κἀμοῦ ταλαίνης, σμικρὰ μὲν τάδ', ἀλλ' ὅμως
ἄχω, δὸς αὐτῷ, τήνδ' ἀλιπαρῆ τρίχα
καὶ ζῶμα τοὐμὸν οὐ χλιδαῖς ἠσκημένον.
