Some science

Is it correct to say (could anyone please correct):

"The increase in oxygen content with increasing of pressure of carbon confirms the change in stoichiometry of its structure formed with high hydrogen content"

The idea is that the increase in carbon pressure results in the increase in oxygen content, and all this proves the fact that the stoichiometry of its structure, which is formed with help of hydrogen content, changes.
  

Top answer

I suggest this: The increase in oxygen content with increasing carbon pressure confirms the change in its high-hydrogen stoichiometry .

  • I suggest this: The increase in oxygen content with increasing carbon pressure confirms the change in its high-hydrogen stoichiometry .

Thank you very much!

Could you please tell me whether it's possible to say this:
"the heating rate varied in the range of 4 to 10 degrees" and

"after holding at this temperature, the samples were cooled..." --it means that samples were held at some temperature for some time before then were cooled. As for me, there should be a noun after holding, it doesn't sound like to me

the heating rate varied by 4 to 10 degrees

after being held at this temperature (for X minutes), the samples were cooled

Thank you very much, really appreciate it.
This is what I was also thinking - the original phrase was wrong.
"After being held" is a great option, maybe also "after holding samples for XX minutes, they were cooled."

snuppelinaafter holding samples for XX minutes, they were cooled.
No, then they are holding themselves. No good.

Hmmm...I think you're right, does sound a bit awkward. Emotion: smile

Just one more question:

After having been connected, the moderator was purged with nitrogen.

or

After being connected, the moderator was purged with nitrogen.

Both are in use; the first is rather clunky, and quite unnecessary.

Thank you!
I was just thinking there were some peculiarities with tenses there.
