The metric system is based on what number?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dmitriy789 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

10

Explanation:

The prefixes attached to metric units carry the same meaning for all base units. The metric system is based upon powers of ten, which is convenient because: A measurement in the metric system that is represented by a rational number remains a rational number after metric unit conversion.

Be sure to answer all parts. In the electrolysis of molten BaI2, (a) What product forms at the negative electrode? (b) What prod
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

(a) Barium is produced at the negative electrode

(b) Iodine is produced at the positive electrode

Explanation:

When  an electric current is passed through a solution containing electrolyte, a non spontaneous reaction is stimulated. This results in the flow of <u>positively charged ions to negatively charged electrodes(</u><u>cathode</u><u>) and negatively charged ions to positively charged electrodes(</u><u>anode</u><u>)</u>

When an electric current is passed through molten BaI_{2} in the electrolytic cell, the following reactions takes place:

                                            BaI_{2} → Ba^{2+} + 2I^{-}

At the anode;

Iodine ions will lose an electron and will be oxidized to iodine

2I^{-} → I_{2} + e^{-}

At  the cathode;

Barium ions gains electrons and its reduced to barium metal

Ba^{2+} + 2e^{-} → Ba

What is the current in 160V current if the resistance is 20
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Current, I = 8 A

Explanation:

We have,

Voltage, V = 160 V

Resistance, R = 20 ohms

It is required to find the current. The relation between current, voltage and resistance is called Ohm's law. It is given as :

V=IR

I = current

I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I=\dfrac{160}{20}\\\\I=8\ A

So, the value of current is 8 A.

What volume will 12.0 g of oxygen gas occupy at 25 c and a pressure of 52.7 kpa?
Stolb23 [73]
We can use the ideal gas law equation to find the volume occupied by oxygen gas
PV = nRT
where ;
P - pressure - 52.7 kPa
V - volume 
n - number of oxygen moles - 12.0 g / 32 g/mol = 0.375 mol
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 25 °C + 273 = 298 K
substituting the values in the equation 
52 700 Pa x V = 0.375 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 298 K
 V = 17.6 L
volume of the gas is 17.6 L

A sample of an unknown compound is vaporized at 150.°C . The gas produced has a volume of 960.mL at a pressure of 1.00atm , and
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

34.02 g.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the gas behaves ideally, we can use the following equation to compute the moles at the specified conditions:

PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{1.00atm*0.960L}{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*(150+273)K} =0.0277mol\\\\

Now, since the molar mass of a compound is computed by dividing the mass over mass, we obtain the following molar mass:

MM=\frac{0.941g}{0.0277mol} \\\\MM=34.02g/mol

So probably, the gas may be H₂S.

Best regards!
