What is defined as the basic unit in the metric system that describes a quality?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Taya2010 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The metric system is a system of measurement that uses the meter, liter, and gram as base units of length (distance), capacity (volume), and weight (mass) respectively.  

 

To measure smaller or larger quantities, we use units derived from the metric units

 

metric-system

 

The given figure shows the arrangement of the metric units, which are smaller or bigger than the base unit.

The units to the right of the base unit are smaller than the base unit. As we move to the right, each unit is 10 times smaller or one-tenth of the unit to its left. So, a ‘deci’ means one-tenth of the base unit, ‘centi’ is one-tenth of ‘deci’ or one-hundredth of the base unit and ‘milli’ is one-tenth of ‘centi’ or one-thousandth of the base unit.

The units to the left of the base unit are bigger than the base unit. As we move to the left, each unit is 10 times greater than the unit to its right. So, a ‘deca’ means ten times of the base unit, ‘hecto’ is ten times of ‘deca’ or hundred times of the base unit and ‘killo’ is ten times of ‘hecto’ or thousand times of the base unit.

How many grams do 6.534e+24 molecules of phosphoric acid weigh?
fredd [130]

Answer:

1,063 grams H₃PO₄

Explanation:

To find the mass of phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄), you should (1) convert molecules to moles (via Avogadro's number) and then (2) convert moles to grams (via molar mass from periodic table).

Molar Mass (H₃PO₄): 3(1.008 g/mol) + 30.974 g/mol + 4(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mas (H₃PO₄): 97.99 g/mol

6.534 x 10²⁴ molecules H₃PO₄                       1 mole                         97.99 g
---------------------------------------------  x  -------------------------------------  x  --------------
                                                            6.022 x 10²³ molecules          1 mole

= 1,063 grams H₃PO₄

How is the structure of atoms altered during fission and fusion?
Dmitriy789 [7]
At first sight it doesn't bode well. The key is in how firmly the protons and neutrons are held together. In the event that an atomic response produces cores that are more firmly bound than the firsts then vitality will be created, if not you should place vitality into make the response happen.
