I5y fusing antimony in a crucible, with another inverted over it, and pierced through its bottom, the oxide will be formed and sublime, forming beautiful pearly, needle-like crystals, called argentine flowers of antimony. Antimonic acid is of little practical interest, and will not demand our attention. Antimoniate of potash, one of its compounds, is used as a test for soda, and i3 easily prepared by heating powdered antimony 1, with 4 of nitre, in a crucible, and boiling the product. Antimony forms, with hydrogen, a compound similar in constitution to those formed by phosphorus and arsenic. Antimoniurelled hydrogen is formed by having antimony present, when hydrogen is produced by zinc. It possesses very much the properties of arseniuretted hydrogen, which we have discussed under arsenic. There are two sulphides of antimony: --SbO = sesquisulphide SbiOo = persulphide. SusQutsDLrniDE or Antimony, Sesquisulihuret Of Antimony. Sb2S-. (ji 482 ) This is the common ore of antimony, known as the gray sulphurct, occurring in the form of steel gray, needle-like crystals. Properties. It melts readily, absorbing oxygen from the air, and, when cold, forms liver of antimony, glass of antimony, crocus of antimony. When sulphuretted hydrogen is passed through a solution of tartar (! 480.1 When is the suboxide formed? ( 481.) What is said of the sesquioxide? How formed? What of its properties? What are argentine flowers of antimony? For what is antimoniate of potash used? 482.) What is said of the sesquisulphide of antimony? What are properties? What is Kcrmo's mineral? emetic, a yellow sulpliuret is obtained. When aulpliuret of antimony is boiled in a solution of potash, the sulphuret is dissolved. By cooling, a yellowish substanc..
