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

Chemistry

nasty-shy [4]3 years ago

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.

You are given the following information: mass = 48 g; volume=24 cm. What is the density of this substance?
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Density = 0.0035 g/cm³

Explanation:

The density equation looks like this:

Density (g/cm³) = mass (g) / volume (cm³)

You have been given both the mass and volume. However, the given volume is not in the correct units. To convert cm to cm³, you should simply raise the given volume to the power of 3.

24 cm  =  (24 cm)³  =  24³cm³  =  13,834 cm³

Now, you can plug you mass and volume into the equation and solve for density. The final answer should have 2 sig figs to reflect the given values.

Density = mass / volume

Density = 48 g / 13,824 cm³

Density = 0.00347 g/cm³

Density = 0.0035 g/cm³
