In the days of alchemy and the phlogiston theory, no system of nomenclature that would be considered logical ia the 1990s was possible. Names were not based on composition, but on historical association, eg, Glauber s salt for sodium sulfate decahydrate and Epsom salt for magnesium sulfate physical characteristics, eg, spirit of wiae for ethanol, oil of vitriol for sulfuric acid, butter of antimony for antimony trichloride, Hver of sulfur for potassium sulfide, and cream of tartar for potassium hydrogen tartrate or physiological behavior, eg, caustic soda for sodium hydroxide. Some of these common or trivial names persist, especially ia the nonchemical Hterature. Such names were a necessity at the time they were iatroduced because the concept of molecular stmcture had not been developed, and even elemental composition was incomplete or iadeterminate for many substances.

MnOi- He called the gas vitriol air and reported that it was colourless, odourless and tasteless, and supported combustion better than common air, but the results did not appear until 1777 because of his publisher s negligence. Priestley s classic experiment of using a burning glass to calcine HgO confined in a cylinder inverted over liquid mercury was first performed in Colne, England, on 1 August 1774 he related this to A. L. Lavoisier and others at a dinner party...
