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.

1. A student attempts to make a saline solution by adding salt to water. How much water did
dexar [7]

111.1 mL of water

Explanation:

Weight per volume concentration (w/v %) is defined as

weight per volume concentration = (mass of solute (g) / volume of solution (mL)) × 100

volume of solution = (mass of solute × 100) / weight per volume concentration

volume of solution = (1 × 100) / 0.9 = 111.1 mL

volume of water = volume of solution = 111.1 mL

A sample of helium gas is placed in a rigid cylinder that has a movable piston. The volume of the gas is varied by moving the pi
Nataliya [291]
Helium is a light gas.  Movement can be predicted by which chamber has the lighter gas(es) and which chamber has the heavier.  constant changes can also be a variable.  If the gas is constant, then changes are more easily predicted.

23) What is the volume of 2.454 x 1024 atoms of nitrogen gas at STP?
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

d) V =  91.3 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of nitrogen = ?

Temperature = standard = 273.15 K

Pressure = standard = 1 atm

Number of atoms of nitrogen = 2.454×10²⁴ atoms

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of moles of nitrogen by using Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022×10²³ atoms

2.454×10²⁴ atoms × 1 mol / 6.022×10²³ atoms

0.407×10¹ mol

4.07 mol

Volume of nitrogen:

PV = nRT

1 atm × V = 4.07 mol ×0.0821 atm.L /mol.K ×273.15 K

V =  91.3 atm.L /1 atm

V =  91.3 L
