Interpretation:
The switch from English system use to metric system use in United states has to be chosen from the below options.
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. In grocery stores and in common measurements of commerce are made in English system. Whereas metric system is used in scientific work such as for measuring gram, liter, and meter. Now United States is in process of conversion from English system to metric system. But the rate of conversion is proceeding slow considering the economic status, which is a major damping factor. The retooling cost is very high in manufacturing industries, almost prohibitive in present situation.

Consider the data below to answer the following questions. Cyanohydrins are important intermediates in the synthesis of α-hydroxycarboxylic acids from ketones and aldehydes. The nitrile functional group can be hydrolyzed by aqueous acid to yield a carboxylic acid. Nitriles can also be hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids using aqueous base. Unfortunately, when a cyanohydrin is treated with aqueous base the original carbonyl compound is isolated. OH CH-COOH 0 HO CN C H30* C.
