Explain,using your own example ,why you must always give a unit when reporting a measurement

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sphinxa [80]3 years ago
4 0

Answer : Unit of any measurement can be defined as a definite magnitude of a given quantity, which is defined and adopted by convention or by law, that is widely used as a standard for measurement of the same kind of quantity. If the unit system was not given to the measurements we would haphazardly complicate the calculations.


Example : If someone wrote 500 in the paper as a answer to a question. But forgot to mention the units of the measurements. It can be misinterpreted by anyone as there are no units written besides the number (unit less). Complications grow. One cannot simply predict is it 500 m? 500 g? 500 mL? 500 km? 500 s? or 500 M? anything can be guessed. To be specific about the answer to any problem we should always use units. Which will help to narrow down the approach of any problem and give a measurable related quantity about the associated problem.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Mario uses a hot plate to heat a beaker of 50mL of water. He used a thermometer to measure the

temperature of the water. The water in the beaker began to boil when it reached the temperature of

100'C. If Mario completes the same experiment with 25mL of water, what would happen to the boiling

point?

a) The water will not reach a boil.

b) The boiling point of water will increase.

c) The boiling point of water will decrease.

d) The boiling point of water will stay the same.

A 50.0 g sample of liquid water at 25.0 degree C is mixed with 29.0 g of water at 45 degree C. The final temperature of the wate
kotegsom [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The final temperature of water is 32.3°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

When two solutions are mixed, the amount of heat released by solution 1 (liquid water) will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by solution 2 (liquid water)

Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

m_1\times c\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c\times (T_{final}-T_2)]       ......(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of solution 1 (liquid water) = 50.0 g

m_2 = mass of solution 2 (liquid water) = 29.0 g

T_{final} = final temperature = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of solution 1 = 25°C  = [273 + 25] = 298 K

T_2 = initial temperature of solution 2 = 45°C  = [273 + 45] = 318 K

c = specific heat of water= 4.18 J/g.K

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

50.0\times 4.18\times (T_{final}-298)=-[29.0\times 4.18\times (T_{final}-318)]\\\\T_{final}=305.3K

Converting this into degree Celsius, we use the conversion factor:

T(K)=T(^oC)+273

305.3=T(^oC)+273\\T(^oC)=(305.3-273)=32.3^oC

Hence, the final temperature of water is 32.3°C

Answer:

yeah

Explanation:

well, probably. they kicked me out of math class because I put a live chicken in the classroom and it pooped everywhere, so I had to clean it up and bring it back where I found it (which is the side of the road.)
