- Carbonic - a. - Of, pertaining to, or obtained from, carbon; as, carbonic oxide.
- Split - v. t. - To divide or separate into components; -- often used with up; as, to split up sugar into alcohol and carbonic acid.
- Choke damp - - See Carbonic acid, under Carbonic.
- Arterialization - n. - The process of converting venous blood into arterial blood during its passage through the lungs, oxygen being absorbed and carbonic acid evolved; -- called also aeration and hematosis.
- Free - superl. - Not united or combined with anything else; separated; dissevered; unattached; at liberty to escape; as, free carbonic acid gas; free cells.
- Eliminate - v. t. - To separate; to expel from the system; to excrete; as, the kidneys eliminate urea, the lungs carbonic acid; to eliminate poison from the system.
- Orthocarbonic - a. - Designating a complex ether, C.(OC2H5)4, which is obtained as a liquid of a pleasant ethereal odor by means of chlorpicrin, and is believed to be a derivative of the hypothetical normal carbonic acid, C.(OH)4.
- Generator - n. - An apparatus in which vapor or gas is formed from a liquid or solid by means of heat or chemical process, as a steam boiler, gas retort, or vessel for generating carbonic acid gas, etc.
- Carbon - n. - An elementary substance, not metallic in its nature, which is present in all organic compounds. Atomic weight 11.97. Symbol C. it is combustible, and forms the base of lampblack and charcoal, and enters largely into mineral coals. In its pure crystallized state it constitutes the diamond, the hardest of known substances, occuring in monometric crystals like the octahedron, etc. Another modification is graphite, or blacklead, and in this it is soft, and occurs in hexagonal prisms or tables. When united with oxygen it forms carbon dioxide, commonly called carbonic acid, or carbonic oxide, according to the proportions of the oxygen; when united with hydrogen, it forms various compounds called hydrocarbons. Compare Diamond, and Graphite.
- Respiration - n. - The act of resping or breathing; the act of taking in and giving out air; the aggregate of those processes bu which oxygen is introduced into the system, and carbon dioxide, or carbonic acid, removed.
- Mytilotoxine - n. - A poisonous base (leucomaine) found in the common mussel. It either causes paralysis of the muscles, or gives rise to convulsions, including death by an accumulation of carbonic acid in the blood.
- Calcination - n. - The act or process of disintegrating a substance, or rendering it friable by the action of heat, esp. by the expulsion of some volatile matter, as when carbonic and acid is expelled from carbonate of calcium in the burning of limestone in order to make lime.
- Calcine - v. i. - To reduce to a powder, or to a friable state, by the action of heat; to expel volatile matter from by means of heat, as carbonic acid from limestone, and thus (usually) to produce disintegration; as to, calcine bones.
- Sulphocarbonic - a. - Of, pertaining to, or designating, a sulphacid, H2CSO2 (called also thiocarbonic acid), or an acid, H2CS3, analogous to carbonic acid, obtained as a yellow oily liquid of a pungent odor, and forming salts.
- Carbonate - n. - A salt or carbonic acid, as in limestone, some forms of lead ore, etc.
- Breath - n. - The air inhaled and exhaled in respiration; air which, in the process of respiration, has parted with oxygen and has received carbonic acid, aqueous vapor, warmth, etc.
- Aeration - n. - The act or preparation of charging with carbonic acid gas or with oxygen.
- Carbonated - a. - Combined or impregnated with carbonic acid.
- Mead - n. - A drink composed of sirup of sarsaparilla or other flavoring extract, and water. It is sometimes charged with carbonic acid gas.
- Decarbonate - v. t. - To deprive of carbonic acid.
- Saccharomyces - n. - A genus of budding fungi, the various species of which have the power, to a greater or less extent, or splitting up sugar into alcohol and carbonic acid. They are the active agents in producing fermentation of wine, beer, etc. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the yeast of sedimentary beer. Also called Torula.
- After damp - - An irrespirable gas, remaining after an explosion of fire damp in mines; choke damp. See Carbonic acid.
- Kynurenic - a. - Pertaining to, or designating, an acid obtained from the urine of dogs. By decomposition the acid yields a nitrogenous base (called kynurin) and carbonic acid.
- Hypercarbureted - a. - Having an excessive proportion of carbonic acid; -- said of bicarbonates or acid carbonates.
- Selters water - - A mineral water from Sellers, in the district of Nassan, Germany, containing much free carbonic acid.
