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.

How much potassium chloride is needed to make 0.500 m solution with 1.50 L of water?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

55.9 g KCl.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of molality for the 0.500-molar solution, we need to divide the moles of solute (potassium chloride) over the kilograms of solvent as shown below:

m=\frac{mol}{kilograms}

Thus, solving for the moles of solute, we obtain:

mol=m*kilograms

Since the density of water is 1 kg/L, we obtain the following moles:

mol=0.500mol/kg*1.50kg\\\\mol=0.75mol

Next, since the molar mass of KCl is 74.5513 g/mol, the mass would be:

0.75mol*\frac{74.5513g}{1mol}\\\\55.9g \ KCl

Regards!

Urgent!! A chemist measured 5.2 g copper(II) bromide tetrahydrate (CuBr2•4(H2O)). How many moles were measured out? Answer in un
bezimeni [28]
  The  moles  which  were   measured  out  is  calculated  using  the  following  formula

moles  =  mass/molar   mass

molar mass  of  CuBr2.4H20  =   63.5  Cu + (  2  x79.9)  br  + ( 18  x4_)  h20  =  295.3  g/mol

moles  is therefore=  5.2 g/  295.3 g/mol=  0.0176 moles
