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.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Option D: More than 30 seconds

Explanation:

The enzyme CATALASE is found in almost all living organisms. CATALASE helps in the decomposition of one substance into another substance. CATALASE will breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

When the potatoes were boiled it will surely produce no bubbles because the heat would have degrade the enzyme - catalase While the potatoes at room temperature potato produced the most bubbles because catalase works best at a room temperature.

If the potato solution was boiled for 10 minutes and cooled for 10 minutes before being tested, the average time for the disks to float to the surface of the hydrogen peroxide solution would be MORE THAN 30 SECONDS

An element with 11 neutrons, 11 protons, and 11 electrons would have a mass number o?
vova2212 [387]

The mass number of element  is 22.

The mass number is the sum of number of electrons/proton and number of neutron .

Mass number = number of proton/electron + number of neutrons

If an element with 11 neutrons, 11 protons, and 11 electrons then mass number is calculated as,

Mass number = number of proton/electron + number of neutrons

Mass number = 11 + 11 = 22

Many organisms in Kingdom Fungi grow best in warm, moist conditions.
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Kingdom Fungi refers to the group of eukaryotic organisms like fungi, mushrooms, molds and yeasts.

Explanation:

The fungi kingdom is made up of eukaryotic organisms whose cell walls are made of chitin.

Next I will name <u>some characteristics</u> of these organisms:

  • They are not plants or animals .
  • They are responsible for absorbing nutrients from other organisms, which they use as food .
  • Some, like mushrooms and yeast, are edible.
  • They present cellular orguils and vacuoles .
  • They lack chloroplasts .
  • They produce spores .
  • They are able to break down dead matter .
  • They develop in humid and dark areas .
  • Penicillin is obtained from these organisms.

Calculate the standard potential, e°, for this reaction from its equilibrium constant at 298 k. 6.47 x 10^5
Elina [12.6K]
The working equation for this is written below:

E° = 0.0592logK/n

So, we have to know the value of n first which represents the number of moles electron in the reaction. We cannot answer this because we are not given with the reaction. However, just suppose the reaction is:

Cu⁺ + 2e⁻ --> Cu

Then, n=2. Continuing,

E° = 0.0592log(6.47×10⁵)/2 =<em> 0.172 V</em>
