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

1 answer:

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.

What is refraction? * Bending of light<br> Reflection of light

sdas [7]

Refraction is the bending of light (it also happens with sound, water and other waves) as it passes from one transparent substance into another. This bending by refraction makes it possible for us to have lenses, magnifying glasses, prisms and rainbows. Even our eyes depend upon this bending of light. Hope this helps!

3. In an experiment it was found that 40.0cm of 0.2M sodium hydroxide solution just neutralized 0.2g

hjlf

The relative molecular mass of acid A : 50 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

40.0 cm³(40 ml) of 0.2M sodium hydroxide

0.2g of a dibasic acid

Required

the relative molecular mass of acid A

Solution

Titration formula

M₁V₁n₁=M₂V₂n₂

n=acid/base valence(number of H⁺/OH⁻)

NaOH ⇒ n = 1

Dibasic acid = diprotic acid (such as H₂SO₄)⇒ n = 2

mol = M x V

Input the value in the formula :(1 = NaOH, 2=dibasic acid)

0.2 x 40 x 1 = M₂ x V₂ x 2

M₂ x V₂ = 4 mlmol = 4.10⁻³ mol ⇒ mol of Acid A

The relative molecular mass of acid A (M) :

$\tt M_A=\dfrac{mass }{mol}=\dfrac{0.2~g}{4.10^{-3}}=50~g/mol$

Iron reacts slowly with oxygen and water to form a compound commonly called rust (Fe₂O₃?4H₂O). For 45.2 kg of rust, calculate

Mashcka [7]

Rust (Fe2O3. 4H2O) is formed when iron interacts slowly with oxygen and water. Mass of Fe in grams is 2.18 x 10⁴ g.

<h3>What is the explanation?</h3>

There are 2 moles of Fe atoms in 1 mole of Fe2O3-4H2O. The number of moles of Fe atoms in 45.2 kg rust is shown below.

Moles of Fe = 195.01 mol Fe₂O₃.4H₂O ( $\frac{2 mol Fe }{1 mol Fe₂O₃.4H₂O}$ )

Moles of Fe = 390.02 mol Fe

Multiply the calculated number of moles of iron, Fe, by its molar mass which is 55.85 $\frac{g}{mol}$

Mass of Fe = 390.02 mol Fe ( $\frac{55.85 g Fe}{mol Fe}$ )

Mass of Fe = 2.18 x 10⁴ g Fe

Avogadro's number (6.022 x 1023) of molecules (or formula units) make up one mole of a substance (ionic compound). The mass of 1 mole of a chemical is indicated by its molar mass. It provides you with the amount of grams per mole of a substance, to put it another way.

Why do acids and bases have a good conduction of electricity?

omeli [17]

All acids only conduct electric current when they are dissolved in water, because when they are in an aqueous medium, they undergo ionization, i.e. release <span>ions.</span><span>

HCl --> H</span>⁺ + Cl⁻

The bases also conduct electric current in solution, because the Ionic dissociation sufferers (release the existing ions in the formula) and molecular ionization, suffer the reacting with water and releasing ions.

NaOH ---> Na⁺ + OH⁻

hope this helps!
