What is the significance of a standard system of measurement

Chemistry
1 answer:
GenaCL600 [577]3 years ago
6 0

Units of measurement are the terms that we use to describe the size of something. You probably know that units include things like seconds, kilograms, meters, and so forth.

Without standard units of measurement, scientists would have a huge problem understanding what other scientists were saying. After all, if I were to refer to a meter as "the length of my leg" and another scientists were to refer to it as "the length of a Saint Bernard dog", we'd have a lot of trouble when it came to do actual science. To avoid this problem, the SI system of units gives us a convenient and, more importantly, standard set of units that we can agree on.

What is the pressure of 1.50 moles of a gas in a 30.0L tank at a temperature of<br> 285K?
julia-pushkina [17]

The pressure of the gas : 1.1685 atm

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In general, the gas equation can be written  

\large {\boxed {\bold {PV = nRT}}}

where  

P = pressure, atm  

V = volume, liter  

n = number of moles  

R = gas constant = 0.08206 L.atm / mol K  

T = temperature, Kelvin  

n=moles=1.5

V=volumes = 30 L

T=temperature=285 K

The pressure :

\tt P=\dfrac{nRT}{V}\\\\n=\dfrac{1.5\times 0.082\times 285}{30}\\\\P=1.1685~atm

Why was the weight of the fire snake slightly less after it was lit on fire
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Why did the fire snake weigh a little bit less than the ingredients it came from? When Zoe weighs the ingredients (sugar and baking soda), it weighs 25 grams in total. When she weighs the “snake” it weighs 23 grams. This is because some carbon dioxide gas produced during the chemical reaction escapes into the air

In a solution with a pH of 3.0, the color of
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

A) litmus is red

Explanation:

To answer this question, it can be helpful to have the color charts. Litmus, phenolphthalein and methyl orange are ways to test the pH of a substance.

<u>Litmus paper</u>

Litmus can tell you if a substance is an acid or a base. You need to put the substance on both red litmus and blue litmus paper.

pH < 7: both papers are red. 3.0 is less than 7.

pH = 7: none of them change color

pH > 7: both papers are blue

<u>Phenolphthalein</u>

When this indicator is added to a substance, the result is either colorless or pink.

0 < pH ≤ 7: colorless. The color is not red or blue for pH 3.0.

pH > 7: pink

<u>Methyl orange</u>

0 < pH < 4: red. The color is not yellow if the pH is 3.0.

4 ≤ pH < 5: orange

pH ≥ 5: yellow
