The tendency of the author in the present investigation, is to return to the opinion respecting the relation of muriatic acid and oxymuriatic acids to each other, which was originally entertained by Scheele. According to that most illustrious chemist, the oxymuriatic was the more simple body, and by union with phlogiston became muriatic acid. But from many experiments made soon after by Berthollet, it was inferred that the latter was simple, and by union with oxygen became converted into oxymuriatic acid. In Mr. Davy’s former attempts to obtain the base of muriatic acid by potassium, he has not been able to separate anything from it but hydrogen. In Dr. Henry’s endeavours by electricity to decompose the muriatic acid, hydrogen and oxymuriatic acid were evolved; and conversely, Mr. Davy has in no instance been able to separate oxygen from oxymuriatic acid, or even to separate muriatic acid from dry muriates, without the assistance of hydrogen or water. He has hence been led to doubt the existence of oxygen in the substance called oxymuriatic acid, and has applied the most powerful means of abstracting oxygen from it without success; and indeed Messrs. Gay-Lussac and Thenard, in their elaborate and interesting experiments, published in the Memoires d’Arcueil, although they maintain that muriatic acid gas consists of muriatic acid and water, are not able to separate water from it, but only hydrogen; and themselves acknowledge that oxymuriatic acid, which they suppose to consist of muriatic acid and oxygen, cannot be decomposed by any known means.
