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.

Isotope b has a half-life of 3 days. a scientist measures out 100 grams of this substance. after 6 days has passed, the scientis
Brilliant_brown [7]
So half life is the time taken for a sample to decay to half its original mass, its a constant and applies to any original mass, it could be 5g or 1kg, it will take the same amount of time for the original mass to half. In this case the half life is 3 days.

After 3 days the sample will be at half its original mass, now 50g. 

Now we can treat the 50g as if its a new sample. After another 3 days (6 days in total) there will be half of 50g left, = 25g.

What is the similarity between speed and vilocity
WARRIOR [948]
Speed and velocity both represent a way to measure the change in position of an object relative to time. In fact, for a straight line motion, the speed and velocity of an object are the same (since distance and displacement will be the same). Speed and velocity are measured in the same units: meters per second or m/s.

HELP ME OUT MY LOVELY CHEMISTRY CHADS I WILL GIVE YOU A KISS

Answer:

300K.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial volume (V1) = 300L

Initial temperature (T1) = 200K

Final volume (V2) = 450L

Final temperature (T2) =..?

Since the pressure is constant, the gas is obeying Charles' law.

Using the Charles' law equation, we can obtain the new temperature of the gas as follow:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

300/200 = 450/T2

Cross multiply to express in linear form

300 x T2 = 200 x 450

Divide both side by 300

T2 = (200 x 450)/ 300

T2 = 300K

Therefore, the new temperature of the gas is 300K.
