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.

What is the ratio of the magenta phenolphthalein concentration to the colorless phenolphthalein concentration ([magenta phenolph
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

\frac{[magenta\ phenolphthalein]}{[colorless\ phenolphthalein]}=31.62

Explanation:

Considering the Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the buffer solution as:

pH=pKa+\log\frac{[base]}{[acid]}

Where Ka is the dissociation constant of the acid.

pKa of phenolphthalein = 9.40

pH = 10.9

So,

10.9=9.40+\log\frac{[magenta\ phenolphthalein]}{[colorless\ phenolphthalein]}

\frac{[magenta\ phenolphthalein]}{[colorless\ phenolphthalein]}=31.62

Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.  

On left side of periodic table atoms of metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons or we can say metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons so their reactivity increase down the group because of easily  removal of electrons.

On right side of periodic table atoms of nonmetals are more reactive by gaining the electrons. As we move down the group nuclear attraction becomes smaller because of shielding thus electron are less attracted by nucleus and reactivity decreases.

If an atom has 11 atomic number and 11 neutrons how many electrons are there??
Fantom [35]

Answer:

11 electrons

Explanation:

The atomic number of sodium is 11. This tells us that sodium has 11 protons and because it is neutral it has 11 electrons. The mass number of an element tells us the number of protons AND neutrons in an atom (the two particles that have a measurable mass).
