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.

The mass spectrum of an unknown compound has a molecular ion peak with a relative intensity of 57.10% and an M+1 peak of 6.83%.
max2010maxim [7]

There are 11 Carbon atoms in the compound.

<u>Solution:</u>

Carbon atom count is the ratio of the M peak to the M+1 peak.

\text{ Number of Carbon atoms }=\frac{\text { Relative intensity of } M+1 \text { peak }}{0.011 \times \text { Relative tntensity of } M \text { peak }}

Here M peak is 57.10% and M+1 peak is 6.83%. On applying the values in the formula we get,

\frac{0.0683}{0.011\times0.571g} = 10.87\approx11

Therefore, the number of Carbon atoms in the compound are 11.

Refer the image attached below for a better understanding of M peak and M+1 peak.

The heaviest ion that has the greatest m/z value is said to be the molecular ion peak in mass spectrum.

What is the difference between unconfined aquifers and confined aquifers?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Unconfined aquifers are those into which water seeps from the ground surface directly above the aquifer. Confined aquifers are those in which an impermeable dirt/rock layer exists that prevents water from seeping into the aquifer from the ground surface located directly above.
