Units of Volume
The SI unit of volume is the amount of space occupied by a cube that is 1 m along each edge. This volume is the cubic meter (m)3. A more convenient unit of volume for everyday use is the
_______________, a non-SI unit.
A liter (L) is the volume of a cube that is 10 centimeters (10 cm) along each edge (10 cm 
10 cm  10 cm = _______________ cm3 = 1 L).

Units and Quantities
The volume of _______ drops of liquid from a medicine dropper is approximately ________.
A ________ cube has a volume of 1 cm3. ________is the same as ____________.
These photographs above give you some idea of the relative sizes of some different units of volume. a) The volume of 20 drops of liquid from a medicine dropper is approximately 1 mL. b) A sugar cube is 1 cm on each edge and has a volume of 1 cm3. Note that 1 mL is the same as 1 cm3. c) A gallon of milk has about twice the volume of a 2-L bottle of soda. Calculating How many cubic centimeters are in 2 liters?
A ___________ of milk has about __________ the volume of a ________ bottle of soda.

Units of Mass
The mass of an object is measured in comparison to a standard mass of 1 kilogram (kg), which is the basic SI unit of mass.
A gram (g) is 1/1000 of a kilogram; the mass of 1 cm3 of water at 4°C is 1 g.

13. 3.2

Common metric units of mass include _______________, ___________, milligram, and microgram.

15. 3.2
Units and Quantities
Weight is a ____________ that measures the ___________ on a given mass by gravity.
The astronaut shown on the surface of the moon weighs one sixth of what he weighs on Earth.
An astronaut’s weight on the moon is one sixth as much as it is on Earth. Earth exerts six times the force of gravity as the moon. Inferring How does the astronaut’s mass on the moon compare to his mass on Earth?

_________________ is a measure of how hot or cold an object is.
Thermometers are used to measure temperature.
Thermometers are used to measure temperature. a) A liquid-in-glass thermometer contains alcohol or mineral spirits. b) A dial thermometer contains a coiled bimetallic strip. c) A Galileo thermometer contains several glass bulbs that are calibrated to sink or float depending on the temperature. The Galileo thermometer shown uses the Fahrenheit scale, which sets the freezing point of water at 32°F and the boiling point of water at 212°F.

Units and Quantities
On the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is 0°C and the boiling point is 100°C.
On the Kelvin scale, the freezing point of water is kelvins (K), and the boiling point is K.
The zero point on the Kelvin scale, 0 K, or
absolute zero, is equal to _____________°C.

19. 3.2
Units and Quantities
Because one degree on the Celsius scale is equivalent to one kelvin on the Kelvin scale, converting from one temperature to another is
easy. You simply __________ or _________ 273, as shown in the following equations.
