Why is the metric (SI) system called a decimal system of measurement

Chemistry

defon4 years ago
6 0

The metric system is the oldest name for the international system of units. SI unit or the international systems of units are based on seven basic units; the meter, kilogram, second, ampere, Kelvin, candela and mole. All of these basic units are divided into multiples by a power of ten. For example in meters, 1 meter is equal to: 1000 millimeter, 100 centimeter, 10 decimeter, 0.1 decameter, 0.01 hectometer, 0.001 kilometer and so on and so forth.

What is the boiling point of a solution containing 203 g of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) and 1035 g of water? (Kb for water is 0.52
Andru [333]

Answer:

101,37°C

Explanation:

Boiling point elevation is one of the colligative properties of matter. The formula is:

ΔT = kb×m <em>(1)</em>

Where:

ΔT is change in boiling point: (X-100°C) -X is the boiling point of the solution-

kb is ebulloscopic constant (0,52°C/m)

And m is molality of solution (mol of ethylene glycol / kg of solution). Moles of ethylene glycol (MW: 62,07g/mol):

203g × (1mol /62,07g) = <em>3,27moles of ethlyene glycol</em>

<em />

Molality is: 3,27moles of ethlyene glycol / (1,035kg + 0,203kg) = 2,64m

Replacing these values in (1):

X - 100°C = 0,52°C/m×2,64m

X - 100°C = 1,37°C

<em>X = 101,37°C</em>

<em></em>

Base your answer on the information below and your knowledge of chemistry. Methanol can be manufactured by a reaction that is re
Rudiy27

Explanation:

For the given reaction:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

CO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow CH_3OH(g)

Rate=k[CO]^x[H_2]^y

where x and y are order wrt to CO and H_2

According to collision theory , the molecules must collide for a reaction to take place. According to collision theory , the rate of a reaction is proportional to rate of collision of reactants.

Thus with an increase in concentration of reactants , the rate of reaction also increases. This is because if the concentration of reactants increases , the chances of collision between molecules also increases and thus more products wil be formed which in turn increases the rate of reaction.

Will a double replacement reaction occur if a potassium hydroxide solution is mixed with a lead(II) nitrate solution? Briefly ex
ohaa [14]
No - a precipitation will occur though. Potassium nitrate is soluble in water, so the potassium and nitrate ions will remain spectator ions and stay in solution. Lead (II) hydroxide is not soluble, and will precipitate out of solution to form a solid product.

Which one of the following exhibits dipole-dipole attraction between molecules? Group of answer choices SF6 HCl O2 CF4 C10H22
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is HCl

Explanation:

There is a dipole-dipole force in hydrochloric acid (HCl), this type of attraction occurs in polar covalent molecules. In this case, the positive end of the molecule (H) attracts the negative (Cl).
