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.

H2O2 is a polyatomic ion<br> ?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

If you are meaning O2^2- ion, well, don’t forget that ions have a charge, that has to be specified when referring to them. It is a polyatomic ion just because it consists of more than one atom, irrespective of the fact that these atoms are of the same element or not. It was given that name because at the early times chemistry was founded as a science, it was found that with respect to other oxygenated substances, peroxides contained more oxygen than expected: Latin prefix per- gives the terms it is attached to the meaning of being increased, enhanced, and similar.

Describe how glacial erosion influenced the topography of Ohio.
Marianna [84]

During the past two million years, glaciers have shaped and reshaped the surface of Ohio several times. These continental masses of ice affected as much as two-thirds of the state. Moving from the north and northwest, glaciers have scraped and flattened the landscape. Often more than a mile thick, they smoothed existing hills and filled valleys with enormous amounts of rocks, gravel, and smaller particles.  Through these actions, glaciers have had a very important impact on the agriculture of Ohio. Their activity has been felt in two noticeable ways: shaping the ground upon which people work and build, and forming the soils that cover that ground.
