Excerpt from The Elements of Experimental Chemistry, Vol. 2 of 2

When the deutoxide is boiled with weak nitric acid, a portion of it parts with oxygen, and enters into solution in the state of protox ide, while the remainder is converted into peroxide, which is' black, and insoluble in all acids except such as deprive it of oxygen. On evaporating the nitric solution, and heatin the product to redness, peroxide is left, which, however, if not su ciently heated, still holds a little nitric acid; and if too strongly, parts with a little oxygen. Owing to this uncertainty,' Dr. Turner does not rely on artificial per oxide for purposes of analysis.
