Answer:

Explanation:

The standard system of measurement is what is popularly referred to as SI unit (or international system of units). For example, the SI unit for length is basically in meters (m), which is convertible to millimeter (mm), centimeter (cm) or even kilometer (km).

If there is no standard system of measurement,

1) Scientists will not be able to compare data as every scientist will use a unit that suits him/herself which might make data incomparable as some units might be difficult to convert to other units or there conversion methods might even be debatable.

2) There might be a general lack of understanding of the research work done by a scientist/scientists in the scientific community. This is because the standard system of measurement affords scientists to communicate properly with the same or convertible units and based on 1. above, if scientists use any unit that isn't agreed upon, different/unknown/debatable units might make understanding of research works incomprehensible.

If the length, width, and height of a box are 10.00 cm, 7.25 cm and 3.00 cm, respectively, what is the volume of the box in unit

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

For a: The volume of the box is 217.5 mL

For b: The volume of the box is 0.2175 L

Explanation:

The box is a type of cuboid.

To calculate the volume of cuboid, we use the equation:

$V=lbh$

where,

V = volume of cuboid

l = length of cuboid = 10.00 cm

b = breadth of cuboid = 7.25 cm

h = height of cuboid = 3.00 cm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$V=10.00\times 7.25\times 3.00=217.5cm^3$

For a:

To convert the volume of cuboid into milliliters, we use the conversion factor:

$1mL=1cm^3$

So,

$\Rightarrow 217.5cm^3\times (\frac{1mL}{1cm^3})\\\\\Rightarrow 217.5mL$

Hence, the volume of the box is 217.5 mL

For b:

To convert the volume of cuboid into liters, we use the conversion factor:

$1L=1000cm^3$

So,

$\Rightarrow 217.5cm^3\times (\frac{1L}{1000cm^3})\\\\\Rightarrow 0.2175L$

Hence, the volume of the box is 0.2175 L

Can someone help please!!!!

Valentin [98]

2. 5 acids: coffee, lemonade, soda pop, orange juice, vinegar

5bases: ammonia, baking soda, cough medicine, liquid soaps

3. Acids are very common in some of the foods we eat.

Bases have properties that mostly contrast with those acids

4. Acid+Base=H2O+Salt

HCI+NaOH=H2O+NaCI

Explanation:

2. (all those acids are strong (in pH meaning those are weak and don't affect you) (most the bases are very strong like ammonia)

4. Salt means any ionic compound formed from an acid/base reaction

Hope this helped

Helppp plzzz will give brainlist

Maslowich

4. A
because PbCl2 is an ionic compound and it's solid, so it's a substance.
It cannot be mixture, because it's a pure molecule.
5. D
despite that both substances are gases, colorless they are different molecules, so they should have different either chemical and physical properties
6. C
this substance made from W atoms and others are made from molecules
