Interpretation:
Height of a person has to be expressed in centimeters who is
Concept Introduction:
Measurement is the measure of quantity, capacity, dimensions or extent of something. Mass, length, pressure, temperature, volume, time and concentration are some common type of measurements. English system and metric system are two types of measurement systems that are in use in the United States. Measurement wise both English system and metric system are precise. There are instance where measurements from one system has to be changed to their equivalent in other system. This is done by dimensional analysis, which involves conversion factors. Conversion factor is a ratio that indicates how one unit of measurement is related to another unit of measurement. This can be expressed as shown below;

- The present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%. A chemistry textbook estimates that if 1.00 × 108 tons Mg were taken out of the sea each year, it would take one million years for the Mg concentration to drop to 0.12%. Do sufficient calculations to either verify or refute this statement. Assume that Earth is a sphere with a diameter of 8000 mi, 67% of which is covered by oceans to a depth of 1 mi, and that no Mg is washed back into the oceans at any time.arrow_forwardIn the laboratory, you dissolve 19.9 g of cobalt(II) chloride in a volumetric flask and add water to a total volume of 125. mL.What is the molarity of the solutionarrow_forwardIn the laboratory you dissolve 12.2 g of magnesium iodide in a volumetric flask and add water to a total volume of 375 . mL.

- 5) King Krator the Merciless has called on Pogo, a humble goldsmith, to make a crown for theKing. He gives Pogo exactly 14 oz of pure gold to fashion the crown and tells him that if hecheats the King, he will pay with his life ! Pogo leaves with the gold; he and his apprenticesspend two weeks in making the crown; finally he returns to the court. When Pogo returns withthe crown, King Krator finds that the crown weighs 397.25 grams, and has a volume of20.58cm3. King Krator asks the court wizard for the density of gold, and Wizard tells the Kingthat gold has a density of 19.3 times that of an equal volume of spring rain. Krator demands aslate, makes a few calculations, then sternly lifts his head to stare at Pogo. Does Pogo's headroll ?arrow_forwardA chemist prepares a solution of iron II chloride FeCl2 by measuring out 3.0g of FeCl2 into a 300.mL volumetric flask and filling to the mark with distilled water.
