2 2 Measurement and Units

3 3 Some Prefixes for Multiples of SI Units. Measurement and Units

4 4

5 5 Some Derived Quantities. Measurement and Units

6 6 Density relates the mass of an object to its volume. Density decreases as a substance is heated because the substance’s volume increases. Knowing the density of a substance allows measurements in volume to be recorded in mass. Measurement and Units

8 8 Densities of Some Common Materials. Measurement and Units

9 9 What is the density of glass (in grams per cubic centimeter) if a sample weighing 26.43 g has a volume of 12.40 cm 3 ? What is the density of glass (in grams per cubic centimeter) if a sample weighing 26.43 g has a volume of 12.40 cm 3 ? Chloroform, a substance once used as an anesthetic, has a density of 1.483 g/mL at 20°C. How many mL would you use if you needed 9.37 g?

11 11 Temperature Conversions: The Kelvin and Celsius degree are essentially the same because both are one hundredth of the interval between freezing and boiling points of water. Measurement and Units

12 12 Measurement and Units Temperature Conversions: Celsius (°C) — Kelvin temperature conversion: Kelvin (K) = °C + 273.15 Fahrenheit (°F) — Celsius temperature conversions:

13 13 Carry out the indicated temperature conversions: (a) –78°C = ? K (b) 158°C = ? °F (c) 375 K = ? °C (d) 98.6°F = ? °C (e) 98.6°F = ? K Measurement and Units

14 14 English System of Units Volume: Gallon (gal) = 4 quarts (qt) = 8 pints (pt) = 128 fluid ounces (fl oz) Length: Mile (mi) = 1760 yards (yd) = 5280 feet (ft) = 63360 inches (in) Mass: 1 ton = 2000 pounds (lb) = 32000 ounces (oz)

15 15 Dimensional-Analysis method uses a conversion factor to express the relationship between units.  OriginalQuantity  ConversionFactor=EquivalentQuantity Example: Express 2.50 kginlb. ConversionFactor:1.00kg=2.205lbarrangedas 2.205lb 1.00kg  2.50kg  2.205lb 1.00kg =6.00lb(correctto3significantfigures) Measurement and Units

16 16 Common Conversion Factors 2.54 cm = 1 in 454 g = 1 lb 0.946 L = 1 qt 1 mL = 1 cm 3 = 1 g water

17 17 Ball Park Conversion Factors 1 m ~ 1 yd 1 L ~ 1 qt 1 kg ~ 2 lb

18 18 Conversion Factors
