To see this we need only take into consideration carbon's relationship to oxidation and reduction respectively.

In what follows pains are taken to present the facts in the form in which one comes to know them through van Helmont's own account, given in his Ortus Medicinae. For reasons which need not be described here, van Helmont studied with particular interest the various modifications in which carbon is capable of occurring in nature among them carbon's combustion product, carbon dioxide.
