By agitating ether the retort, when pure hyponitrous acid will be in a flask with binoxide of barium, adding set free, and, passing into the alcohol, will form gradually perfectly pure and very dilute hyponitrite of oxide of ethyl (ether), which hydrochloric acid, occasionally cooling and will distill in a gentle stream. The tube consubsequently allowing the ether to settle, necting the retort and bottle must be cooled we obtain a liquid which has been recom- by means of a rag or moist paper, wetted from mended as a disinfecting, bleaching, and time to time with ice-cold water; for if the cleansing agent, and as a test for chromic tube and the alcohol be not carefully cooled, acid, which it instantly turns indigo blue. the latter becomes spontaneously hot , and According to Boettger, this does not contain ozone, but binoxide of hydrogen, which is equivalent to it.
