Why is it better to use the metric system, rather than the English system, in scientific measurement?

Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

English system is indeed based on the metric system because they look for reference stuff to get the measurements, for instance, a foot equals 30.48 cm, but a common 30-cm rule measures every 1 cm, so the metric system also provides more accurate measurements. An other example lies on the measurement of mass, a pound which equals 453.59 g is appropriated to measure middle amounts of masses, but for example, in qualitative analysis we tend to measure amounts below about 0.10 g (0.022 lb) so it is easier for us in science to use the metric system in addition to the straightforwardness of the reporting data in 10-based notation (scientific notation).

Best regards.

The metric system is based on powers of 10 so it is much easier to convert units, often just by moving the decimal point.

Im a bit torn here, lets look at the definitions of physical and chemical changes:
physical change changes only the phase/state of a substance, but not what the substance is
chemical change is a chemical reaction where a new substance is formed and energy is given off or absorbed.
(it just started raining and it smells really nice out my window)

clearly, this cannot be just a physical reaction. i think i would be inclined to pick B. but C. could have merit as an answer too. sorry for the ambiguity x

seraphim [82]

Explanation :

In thermodynamics, a system is region or part of space which is being studied and observed while the surrounding is the region or space around the system which interacts with the system.

Here in the experiment ,system which is observed is reaction or changes when citric acid and sodium bicarbonate are mixed together. And the mixing is carried out in the calorimeter which serves as a surrounding around the system.

The reason behind the using the calorimeter is measure the energy change occurring during the reaction.

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

Nt=25 g

No=100 g

t1/2=5770 years

\tt 25=100\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/5770}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/5770}\\\\2=T/5770\rightarrowT=11540~years
