Carbureted


CARBURETED, adjective Combined with carbon, or holding carbon in colution; as carbureted hydrogen gas. carbureted hydrogen consists of one prime equivalent of each. carbureted hydrogen gas is called hydro-carbonate, being resolvable into carbonic acid and water, by combustion with oxygen. carbureted is applied to gaseous compounds. Thus we say carbureted hydrogen, instead of carburet of hydrogen.
