I need a quick history on the element oxygen plz keep it simple but detailed

Chemistry
1 answer:
MakcuM [25]4 years ago
3 0

Oxygen had been produced by several chemists prior to its discovery in 1774, but they failed to recognize it as a distinct element. Joseph Priestley and Carl Wilhelm Scheele both independently discovered oxygen, but Priestly is usually given credit for the discovery. They were both able to produce oxygen by heating mercuric oxide (HgO). Priestley called the gas produced in his experiments 'dephlogisticated air' and Scheele called his 'fire air'. The name oxygen was created by Antoine Lavoisier who incorrectly believed that oxygen was necessary to form all acids.

Explain why each mineral has its own properties, different from every other mineral
kaheart [24]
Each mineral has its own properties different from other minerals because minerals are made up of different elements. Different elements which can be found on the periodic table all have unique properties, therefore, gold will have distinct properties in comparison with zinc or aluminium for example because they are made up of different elements :))))

Compare the boiling points of 1-pentyne and 1-octyne.
Elan Coil [88]
1-pentyne consists of a carbon chain of 5 carbons one with a triple bond. 1-octyne is a carbon chain of 8 carbons with a triple bond at some point. It is known that the longer the carbon chain the higher the boiling point since more energy will be required to break the bonds between carbons. Based on this it is predicted that 1-octyne will have a higher boiling point than 1-pentyne.

Project 1 Hypothesis Construction
alukav5142 [94]

The hypothesis should be; "Increasing the amount of ice increases the rate at which the ice will melt"

<h3>What is a hypothesis?</h3>

The term hypothesis refers to a tentative explanation that could be applied in order to explain an observation. When we give a hypothesis, it must be subjected to rigorous experimentation thus it can be confirmed or repelled by experiment.

Now, we can see that the question here is; "How does the amount of salt added to ice affect the rate at which the ice will melt?" This implies that the correct hypothesis here ought to have to do with the impact of the amount of ice in the affirmative.

Thus, the hypothesis should be; "Increasing the amount of ice increases the rate at which the ice will melt"
