Answer:

But why should it even matter?

Explanation:

Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.

The Mass of an object doesn't change when an object's location changes. Weight, on the otherhand does change with location.

Hope this helps!!

Answer:

Matter is measured in mass and not weight because

W=mg

Where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

So we measure matter in mass because it only occupies space and there is no affect of acceleration due to gravity on it

22.4 L is the volume of any gas regardless of atmospheric conditions. O True O False

Contact [7]

This is false. One mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L at STP, which is taken to be 0°C (273 K) and 1 atm. If atmospheric conditions depart from these values, this assumption cannot be used.

A series of experiments investigating the reaction of (CH3)3CCl with H2O to create (CH3)3OH produces a plot of Ln[(CH3)3CCl] vs.

Helga [31]

Explanation:

There will occur a straight line for the curve of Ln[(CH_{3})_{3}CCl] Vs. time. Since, it is a first order reaction therefore, the formula of its half-life will be as follows.

Half-life = $\frac{ln 2}{k}$
