ANSWER QUICK DUE 10 MINUTES In your lab group you combined salt and water. Then you compared what happens when an egg is placed in tap water versus salt water. You observed that the egg floated in the salt water, but sank on the fresh water. You and your lab partner discuss the cause of this difference and wonder if the combining of the salt and water caused a physical or chemical change. Choose ALL of the evidence that supports that a physical change has occured.

A) A gas was produced.
B) The density changed.
C) The salt dissolved in the water.
D) The salt and the water cannot be separated into their individual molecules.
E) The salt and the water can still be separated into their individual molecules.

C . The salt dissolved in the watee

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
