MISLEADING M
Terms in Science that Belle the
90 which They Apply

Terms in Science that Belle the
Produefs 20 which they Apply
There are terms In certain depart
ments OF science that positively mis-
name the products to which they are
applied.
The word ~oil' in its more eonlpne-
hensire and indiscrimlnafe uses, Is
made To include hydrocarbons. like pc
troleum. and also many other sub
stances that have an oily appearance.
like -oIl OF vitriol." which is not oil at
all, but sulphuric acid
Strictly speaking. the mineral oils.
including all petroleum products. are
not oil. although we speak Of coal OIL
and kerosene OIL"
The best cls~ssihcafions Of oils do not
include mineral hydrocarbons. like
naphtha. parafin and petroleum, but
treat only the two wei defined groups
fixed oils and fats and the essential
or volatile oils.
-C0pperas- is not copper. but sui
plate Of iron. ~Salt OF lemon has
nothing to do with the fruit Of the lem
on tree, but is potassium ~binoxalate or
potash treated with oxaiic acid
-Carbolie acid Is not an acid. but a
phenol. In structure it is allied to the
alcohols and has only slight acid prop
critics. Soda water has no trace Of
soda. "Sulphuric acid contains no sui
phur. -Sugar of lead is innocent Of
sugar.
Cream Of tartar has nothing to 10
with cream nor milk Of line with
milk. German silver Is a stranger to
silver, and '-black lead is n lead at
all. but graphite. Mosaic gold" Is a
sulphide Of tin.
These misleading names have come
down from the vocabulary Of an early
and inexact chemistry. As popular
science extends the old terms are yield
ing to the more scientific nomenclature.
