Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, is in multiples of 10.

Explanation:

The metric system refers to an internationally acclaimed decimalized system of measurement. It is used globally, and it is the most usual or the only system of measures and weight in the places where it is adopted.  

As the metric system is a decimal system of measures and weight, it is easy to transform in between the units, for example, from grams to kilograms, or from millimeters to meters, basically by dividing or multiplying by 10, 100, 1000, and others. Usually, this is the case of moving the decimal point to the left from the right.

Acetylene is the substance burned in oxy-acetylene torches. Write a balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that o
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: 2C_2H_2+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products must be same as the mass of reactants.

For the conservation of mass, the number of atoms of each element must be same in reactants and products. Thus we need to balance the reaction by writing appropriate stochiometric coefficients.

All the hydrocarbons burn in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.Thus the complete balanced equation is:

2C_2H_2+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O

Which element has the smallest atomic radius? calcium potassium scandium titanium
Alex787 [66]

 The element  that has the smallest  atomic radius is  <u>titanium</u>


          <em><u>explanation</u></em>

  • Calcium,potassium,  scandium and titanium are in  period  4 in the periodic table.
  • Generally  the atomic   radius    decreases  across the period (from the left to the right) .  This is because  across the period  there is increase  in nuclear charge  which  make electrons been strongly attracted to the nuclear.
  • Titanium is in atomic number 22 thus it has  more nuclear  charge  that  calcium,potassium and  scandium therefore  titanium has the  smallest atomic radius.
