Cavendish’s name for hydrogen gas was "inflammable air." The word inflammable means "to burn. "Why did Cavendish use this name?

He used that name because if you lit hydrogen on fire it would catch. therefore, it was dangerous to be around. think of it as a kind of warning. :) hope that helps.

The gas formed in the experiment could catch fire easily. So, he named the gas inflammable air.

Answer:

1 x 10^-12 mol dm^-3

Explanation:

[H+] = 10 ^ -pH

Therefore, pH 12 = 1 x 10^-12 hydrogen ion concentration

Answer:

The absorbance of the myoglobin solution across a 1 cm path is 0.84.

Explanation:

Beer-Lambert's law :

Formula used :

$A=\epsilon \times c\times l$

$A=\log \frac{I_o}{I}$

$\log \frac{I_o}{I}=\epsilon \times c\times l$

where,

A = absorbance of solution

c = concentration of solution

$\epsilon$ = Molar absorption coefficient

l = path length

$I_o$ = incident light

$I$ = transmitted light

Given :

l = 1 cm, c = 1 mg/mL , $\epsilon = 15,000 M^{-1}cm^{-1}$

Molar mass of myoglobin = 17.8 kDa = 17.8 kg/mol=17800 g/mol

(1 Da = 1 g/mol)

c = 1 mg /mL = ${1mg /mL}{\text{Molar mass of myoglobin}}$

$c = \frac{1 mg/mL}{ 17800 g/mol} = 5.6179\times 10^{-5} mol/L$

1 mg = 0.001 g, 1 mL = 0.001 L

$A= 15,000 M^{-1}cm^{-1}\times 5.6179\times 10^{-5} mol/L\times 1 cm$

$A=0.8426 \approx 0.84$

The absorbance of the myoglobin solution across a 1 cm path is 0.84.
