To convert measurements in the metric system you can move the decimal point left or right why does this work?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Because when you move the decimal point once, it it equal to 10 and to convert in the metric system, you must multiply or divide by 10. For example, when converting 4 centimeters to millimeters, you can multiply by 10 to get 40 millimeters or you can move the decimal point to the right and add another 0 to get 40.

Describe how spead, velocity and<br> brcoloration are related.
Flura [38]

Answer:

Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes.

Deffense [45]

The bond order of a diatomic element with  six bonding electrons, six non-bonding electrons, and 2 anti-bonding electrons is 2 whose formula is( bonding electrons-anti bonding electrons)/2.

<h3>What is an element?</h3>

An element  is defined as a substance which cannot be broken down further into any other substance. Each element is made up of its own type of atom. Due to this reason all elements are different from one another.

Elements can be classified as metals and non-metals. Metals are shiny and conduct electricity and are all solids at room temperature except mercury. Non-metals do not conduct electricity and are mostly gases at room temperature except carbon and sulfur.

The number of protons in the nucleus is the defining property of an element and is related to the atomic number.All atoms with same atomic number are atoms of same element.

olasank [31]
The reaction equation is:
<span>2CuO(s) + C(s) </span>→ <span>2Cu(s) + CO</span>₂<span>(g)

First, we determine the number of grams present in one ton of copper oxide. This is:
1 ton = 9.09 x 10</span>⁵ g

We convert this into moles by dividing by the molecular mass of copper oxide, which is:
9.09 x 10⁵ / 79.5 = 11,434 moles

Each mole of carbon reduces two moles of copper oxide, so the moles of carbon required are:
11,434 / 2 = 5,717 moles of Carbon required

The mass of carbon is then:
5,717 x 12 = 68,604 grams

The mass of coke is:
68,604 / 0.95 = 72,214 g

The mass of coke required is 7.22 x 10⁴ grams
