Why is it important to use standard measurements and units in science

Unit' is the word used to describe how something is measured. When researching a question in science, we collect data, interpret it, and share the results with other scientists. A common measurement system allows us to make direct comparisons instead of having to know things like how much a certain animal weighs.

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.
