It is hghter thanRa, but still verv hea^y. The atomic weight of the lost hehum being fourunits and that of radium 226-4, the new substance has an atomic weight of226-4 - 4 or 222-4. It has been called the emanation, and is itself radio-active. Radium emanation can be collected, transferred, and generallymanipulated like any other gas, and the apparatus for this purpose is shownin Figs. 221 and 222. The most convenient way of liberating emanation from a radium salt 334 RADIATION THERAPEUTICS is to dissolve it in water strongly acidulated with hydrochloric acid. Thesolution placed in the bulb 1 (Fig. 221) gradually develops a supply of the gas,which may be pumped oflt from time to time, and coll
