Why are metric units easy to use

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sveta_85 [38]4 years ago
8 0
Because the metric system is a decimal system of weights and measures it is easy to convert between units (e.g. from millimetres to metres, or grams to kilograms) simply by multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, 1000, etc. Often this is just a case of moving the decimal point to the right or left.

Answer:

Which of the following

properties distinguishes a solution

oversaturated with a dilute?

  • The supersaturated solution is one in which the solvent has dissolved more solute than it can dissolve in the saturation equilibrium.  The solute can be a solid, or a gas. The molecules of the solvent surround those of the solute and seek to open space between themselves to be able to harbor more amount of solute.
  • A dilute solution is a solution that has not reached the maximum concentration of solute dissolved in a solvent. The additional solute will dissolve when added in a dilute solution and will not appear in the aqueous phase.   It is considered a state of dynamic equilibrium where the speeds in which the solvent dissolves the solute are greater than the recrystallization rate.

Purification of copper can be achieved by electrorefining copper from an impure copper anode onto a pure copper cathode in an el
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer: 281 hours

Explanation:-

1 electron carry charge=1.6\times 10^{-19}C

1 mole of electrons contain=6.023\times 10^{23} electrons

Thus  1 mole of electrons carry charge=\frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1}\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=96500C

Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu

96500\times 2=193000Coloumb of electricity deposits 1 mole or 63.5 g of copper

0.0635 kg of copper is deposited by 193000 Coloumb

11.5 kg of copper is deposited by=\frac{193000}{0.0635}\times 11.5=34952756 Coloumb

Q=I\times t

where Q= quantity of electricity in coloumbs  = 34952756 C

I = current in amperes = 34.5 A

t= time in seconds = ?

34952756 C=34.5A\times t

t=1013123sec=281hours

Thus it will take 281 hours to plate 11.5 kg of copper onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 34.5 A.

Which of the following atoms contains the same number of neutrons as an atom of Calcium-40? (2 points) Select one: a. Potassium-
SVEN [57.7K]
First, let's find the number of neutrons in Calcium-40. to find the number of neutrons, you need to take the atomic mass minus atomic number

neutrons in Calcium---> 40 - 20 (atomic number) = 20 neutrons

potassium-40---> 40- 19= 21
scandium-44----> 44- 21= 23
argon-38---------> 38- 18= 20
chlorine-36------> 36- 17= 19

the answer is argon-38
