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.

How much heat energy is required to boil 66.7 g of ammonia, NH3? The molar heat of vaporization of ammonia is 23.4 kJ/mol.
pochemuha

Answer:

91.7 kJ

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of ammonia (m): 66.7 g
  • Molar heat of vaporization of ammonia (ΔH°vap): 23.4 kJ/mol

Step 2: Calculate the moles (n) corresponding to 66.7 g of ammonia

The molar mass of ammonia is 17.03 g/mol.

66.7 g × 1 mol/17.03 g = 3.92 mol

Step 3: Calculate the heat (Q) required to boil 3.92 moles of ammonia

We will use the following expression.

Q = ΔH°vap × n

Q = 23.4 kJ/mol × 3.92 mol = 91.7 kJ

Ionic crystals are excellent insulators and can hold a large amount of heat before melting or boiling.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
It is a true fact that ionic crystals are excellent insulators and can hold a large amount of heat before melting or boiling. The correct option among the two options that are given in the question is the first option. Salt is a great example of ionic crystals and we know that it takes a huge amount of time to melt or boil.

Which indicator most likely suggests that a chemical change is taking place? 1)change in size 2)change of color 3)change of stat
Tresset [83]

Out of the options, the best indicator is a color change since it is the only one that can't really be blamed on a physical change.  you will eventually notice that during qualitative labs and some quantitative labs, usually the thing that you are looking for is either color change or the production of a precipitate to indicate the presence of a chemical reaction
