1.) the metric system is universal
2.) this system of measurement makes it possible for scientists from all parts of the world to understand and agree upon the measurements taken within an experiment.

The metric system is used because it is based on the number 10. Ten is easy to use for mathematical operations and conversions.

It is also easy to use for scientific notation when you are referring to powers of ten. There are extremely large and extremely small numbers in science. Thus, scientific notation allows for accurate abbreviated ways to symbolize these numbers. For instance, if I were to say 1,000, in scientific notation it would be 1 x 10 ^3. If I was to say 1,000,000, I would scientifically write 1 x 10 ^6.

How can you determine the specific heat of a metal using a calorimeter? make a hypothesis
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

One can determine the specific heat of the metal through using the clarimeter, water, thermometer and using heat equations.

Explanation:

You can learn about heat effects and calorimetery through a simple experiment by boiling water and heating up the metal in it. Then, pour it into your calorimeter and the heat will flow from the metal to the water. The two equlibria will meet: the metal will loose heat into its surroundings (the water) and teh water will absorb the heat. The heat flow for the water is the same as it is for the metal, the only difference being is the negative sign indicating the loss of the heat of the metal.

In terms of theromdynamics, we can deteremine the heat flow for the metal becasue it would be equal to the mangnitued but opposite in direction. Thus, we can say that the specific heat of water qH2O = -qmetal.
