What is the most useful facet of the "metric" system? What is the reason for giving equivalents like the mass of one gram is equ

I would say, as a longtime user of the metric system in mining and geology, that the most useful aspect of it is probably that it is a decimal system ie that it is all relatable by dividing or multiplying by 10's, 100's or 1000's mostly. For example, a centimeter is 1/100 of a meter, and a mm is 1/1000 of a meter and a mm is 1/10 of a cm. In map scales, say 1:2500 means that 1 cm =2500cm or 1 cm = 25meters so this makes it easy to use. Using equivalents like 1 gram is = to the weight of one large paper clip is to help people most likely who are used to the Imperial system to visualize the metric system to things they are familiar with and thus feel more comfortable with it.

How many moles of sucroseare in 5.25x1029 sucrosemolecules?[?]x10[?]Enter your answer with the correctnumber of significant figu
kicyunya [14]

To calculate the number of moles we will use Avogadro's number, which relates the number of molecules contained in a mole of any substance, the relationship between moles and molecules is as follows:

\begin{gathered} \text{Moles of a subtances=Molecules}\times\frac{1mol}{6.02\times10^{23}molecules} \\ \text{Moles of sucrose=}5.25\times10^{29}molecules\times\frac{1mol}{6.02\times10^{23}molecules} \\ \text{Moles of sucrose=}8.72\times10^5mol \end{gathered}

In the statement we are given the molecules with 3 significant figures, therefore the answer must also have 3 significant figures. So the answer will be: In 5.25x10^29molecules are 8.72x10^5 mol of sucrose

Ocean water is approximately 0.6 M NaCl. How many grams of salt is there in 1 liter of ocean water?
ollegr [7]

The answer is A.

We know the formula for molarity :

<u>Molarity = Number of moles ÷ Volume</u>

<u />

Let's assume there are 0.6 moles of NaCl in 1 liter of ocean water.

Then, mass of salt is :

  • Mass of one mole salt × 0.6
  • 58.5 × 0.6
  • 35 grams
