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.

The beaker shown below contains a 0.58 M solution of dye in water. How many moles of dye are there in the beaker?
seropon [69]
According to the equation of molarity:

Molarity= no.of moles / volume per liter of Solution

when we have the molarity=0.58 M and the beaker at 150mL so V (per liter) = 150mL/1000 = 0.150 L

by substitution:
∴ No.of moles = Molarity * Volume of solution (per liter)
                        = 0.58 * 0.150 = 0.087 Moles

Where would the temperature of the ocean's surface water be the lowest?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, areas with a high salinity

Explanation:

The higher the density of the ocean water, the lower will be the temperature. The highly saline ocean water thus exists in the polar regions than the tropic regions. Due to high density the cold water seeps down and thus it further becomes cooler while a low density ocean water remains at the surface and possess additional heat

Consider the chart describing the element. According to the chart, the element is _______ with an atomic number of ___________.
GenaCL600 [577]

C) lithium; 3

Explanation:

Considering the chart describing the element. According to the chart, the element is lithium with an atomic number of 3.

  • Atomic numbers are used on the periodic table to arrange elements in their proper place.
  • Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom.
  • This number is unique for every atom.
  • From the described chart, we see that the atom described is Lithium.
  • The atomic number of neon is 10, boron is 5.
  • Unless otherwise stated or shown, it can be nitrogen 7.

HClO4 acid solution has a concentration of 5 Molarity. Calculate the concentration of this solution in
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

1. Percentage by weight = 0.5023 = 50.23 %

2. molar fraction =0.153

Explanation:

We know that

Molar mass of HClO4 = 100.46 g/mol

So the mass of 5 Moles= 5 x 100.46

       Mass (m)= 5 x 100.46 = 502.3 g

Lets assume that aqueous solution of HClO4  and the density of solution is equal to density of water.

Given that concentration HClO4 is 5 M it means that it have 5 moles of HClO4 in 1000 ml.

We know that

Mass = density x volume

Mass of 1000 ml  solution = 1 x 1000 =1000     ( density = 1 gm/ml)

            m'=1000 g

1.

Percentage by weight = 502.3 /1000

Percentage by weight = 0.5023 = 50.23 %

2.

We know that

molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

mass of water in 1000 ml = 1000 - 502.3 g=497.9 g

So moles of water = 497.7 /18 mole

moles of water = 27.65 moles

So molar fraction = 5/(5+27.65)

molar fraction =0.153
