Now if we place the first, -- cyanuric acid, -- in a vessel hermetically sealed, and apply a high degree of heat, it is converted by its influence into hydrated cyanic acid; and, then, if this is kept for some time at the common temperature, it passes into cyamelide, no other element being present.
-
And, again inversely, cyamelide can be converted into cyanuric acid and hydrated cyanic acid.
-
In cyanuric acid, hydrated cyanic acid, and cyamelide, we have three such isomeric compounds.
