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.

What’s the correct answer
Fed [463]
The correct answer is: 
_________________________________________________________
    " F  and Br , because they are in the same group" .
_________________________________________________________
Note:
_________________________________________________________
Choice [B]:  "F and Br ; because they are in the same period" ; is incorrect; since  "F" and "Br" are not in the same "period" (that is, "row").
______________________________________________________
Choice [C]:  "Na and Mg; because they are in the same group {"column"} ;  is incorrect; since:  "Na" and "Mg are NOT in the same group {"column"].
_______________________________________________________
Choice [D]:  "Na and Mg" ; because they are in the same period {"row"}; is incorrect.  Note:  "Na" and "Mg" are, in fact,  in the same period {"row"}. However, as aforementioned, {Mg and Na} are not in the same group {"column".}.  

Note:  The similiarities in physical and chemistry properties among elements are determined and organized — or tend to be so—by "groups" {"columns"} — NOT by "periods" {rows}.

1.For the first ten reactions, write a balanced reaction for each tube in which a reaction occurred. If there was no reaction, w
slamgirl [31]

The equations of reaction occurring in the tubes are as follows:

  • 2 MnO₄⁻ + 6 Br⁻ + 8 H⁺ → 2 MnO₂ + 3 Br₂ + 4 H₂O
  • 2 MnO₄⁻ + 6 I⁻ + 8 H⁺ → 2 MnO₂ + 3 I₂ + 4 H₂O
  • No reaction
  • 2 Fe³⁺ + 2 I⁻ → 2 Fe²⁺ + I₂

<h3>What are the reactions occurring in the tubes?</h3>

The reactions occurring in the tubes are redox reactions.

Based on the table the equations of reaction are as follows:

  • 2 MnO₄⁻ + 6 Br⁻ + 8 H⁺ → 2 MnO₂ + 3 Br₂ + 4 H₂O
  • 2 MnO₄⁻ + 6 I⁻ + 8 H⁺ → 2 MnO₂ + 3 I₂ + 4 H₂O
  • No reaction
  • 2 Fe³⁺ + 2 I⁻ → 2 Fe²⁺ + I₂

In conclusion, redox reaction are reactions in which electrons are transferred.

What is the density of a sample of a substance with a volume of 120ml<br> and a mass of 90g?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.75 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question

mass = 90 g

volume = 120 mL

We have

density =  \frac{90}{120}  =  \frac{9}{12}  =  \frac{3}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.75 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which one of Newton's Laws fits this statement: More mass means more force needed to accelerate?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Newton's Second Law

Explanation:

Newton's second law basically states that the acceleration of a body which is produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of net force applied in the same direction.

This tells us that

     F   is directly proportional to a

⇒ F= ma

So we can also state from the above equation, that when we have more mass, we need more net force to accelerate it. Here, we are keeping the acceleration constant so we can surely say that force and mass varies directly.

Therefore, we have made good use of Newton's Second Law of motion to arrive at this conclusion.
