What reading level is A Short History of Chemistry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Decomposition of Water. — Davy was among the first to busy himself with this most interesting and important ques- tion, the decomposition of water. From the very first it was noticed in this electrolysis that acid and alkaline substances were formed, and it was believed that water was changed into these under the action of electricity. By most careful experiments, Davy showed the error of this view. He car- ried out this electrolysis in vessels of various materials, and showed that the products... mentioned, the acid and alkali, were due to the glass, or to the matter dissolved in the water, or to the air itself. If the water, distilled in silver, was electro- lyzed in gold vessels, in an atmosphere of hydrogen, the acid and alkali did not appear.
THE NEW ELEMENTS. 97 Davy further repeated and confirmed the work of Berze- lius upon salt solutions. He, too, made the observation which Berzelius had made, that the electric current separated hy- drogen, the metals, metallic oxides, alkalies, and earths to the negative pole, and oxygen and the acids to the positive.
