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.

Which has a higher frequency, a neutron or electron? Why?
DanielleElmas [232]
The electron, due to the way an electron orbits the nucleus of an atom. 

According to Quantum Mechanics, electrons do not really orbit the nucleus of an atom. In fact, the most tightly bound state, the 1s orbital, has no angular momentum at all. This would be the state with the most "kinetic energy" and yet there is no "orbital" motion at all in this state.

(01.07 но) An experiment was conducted to determine the density of a liquid. The table shows a partial record of the experiment
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

How do you find the density of a liquid experiment?

To measure the density of a liquid you do the same thing you would for a solid. Mass the fluid, find its volume, and divide mass by volume. To mass the fluid, weigh it in a container, pour it out, weigh the empty container, and subtract the mass of the empty container from the full container.

PLEASE HELP!! It’s the last day to get the assignment in!!
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Some signs of a chemical change are a change in color and the formation of bubbles. The five conditions of chemical change: color chage, formation of a precipitate, formation of a gas, odor change, temperature change. Or Light is given off, a permanent color change occurs, gas is given off, heat is given off, and a precipitate is formed

When 21.45 g of KNO3 was dissolved in water in a calorimeter, the temperature fell from 25.00°C to 14.14 °C. If the heat capacit

25.9 kJ/mol. (3 sig. fig. as in the heat capacity.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The process:

\text{KNO}_3\;(s) \to \text{KNO}_3\;(aq).

How many moles of this process?

Relative atomic mass from a modern periodic table:

  • K: 39.098;
  • N: 14.007;
  • O: 15.999.

Molar mass of \text{KNO}_3:

M(\text{KNO}_3) = 39.098 + 14.007 + 3\times 15.999 = 101.102\;\text{g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}.

Number of moles of the process = Number of moles of \text{KNO}_3 dissolved:

\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{21.45}{101.102} = 0.212162\;\text{mol}.

What's the enthalpy change of this process?

Q = C\cdot \Delta T = 0.505 \times (25.00 - 14.14) = 5.4843\;\text{kJ} for 0.212162\;\text{mol}. By convention, the enthalpy change \Delta H measures the energy change for each mole of a process.

\displaystyle \Delta H = \frac{Q}{n} = \frac{5.4843\text{kJ}}{0.212162\;\text{mol}} = 25.8\;\text{kJ}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}.

The heat capacity is the least accurate number in these calculation. It comes with three significant figures. As a result, round the final result to three significant figures. However, make sure you keep at least one additional figure to minimize the risk of rounding errors during the calculation.

A gas with a vapor density greater than that of air, would be most effectively displaced out off a vessel by?
AURORKA [14]

A gas with a vapor density greater than that of air, would be most effectively displaced out off a vessel by ventilation.

The two following principles determine the type of ventilation: Considering the impact of the contaminant's vapour density and either positive or negative pressure is applied.

Consider a vertical tank that is filled with methane gas. Methane would leak out if we opened the top hatch since its vapour density is far lower than that of air. A second opening could be built at the bottom to greatly increase the process' efficiency.

A faster atmospheric turnover would follow from air being pulled in via the bottom while the methane was vented out the top. The rate of natural ventilation will increase with the difference in vapour density. Numerous gases that require ventilation are either present in fairly low concentrations or have vapor densities close to one.
