Abstract
CAREFUL experiments by Heydweiller, published in the last number of Drude's Annalen (vol. v. p. 394), lead their author to the conclusion that in certain cases chemical action is accompanied by a minute, but real, alteration of weight. The chemical actions here involved must be regarded as very mild ones, e.g. the mere dissolution of cupric sulphate in water, or the substitution of iron for copper in that salt.
