Units of Measurement
CH. 2 - MEASUREMENT
A. Number vs. Quantity Quantity – is something that has magnitude, size,
or amount; number + unit
UNITS MATTER!!
B. SI Units
SI units of measurement is the system that all scientists around the world have agreed upon as the single measurement system.
SI units are defined in terms of standards of measurement.
The standards are objects or natural phenomena that are of constant value, easy to preserve and reproduce, and practical in size.

E. SI Prefix Conversions A conversion factor is a ratio derived from the equality
between two different units that can be used to convert from one unit to the other.
1. Find the difference between the exponents of the two prefixes.
2. Move the decimal that many places.
To the leftor right?

Volume (m3 or cm3) – the amount of space occupied by an object length length length
D = MV

Density (kg/m3 or g/cm3) – the ratio of mass to volumemass per volume

Density is a characteristic physical property of a substance and does not depend on the size of the sample; the ratio of mass to volume is constant.
G. Density
Density is dependent on temperature.
An increase in temperature usually causes a decrease in density for most substances.
H. Problem-Solving Steps
1. Analyze
2. Plan
3. Compute
4. Evaluate
I. Solving Density Problems
An object has a volume of 825 cm3 and a density of 13.6 g/cm3. Find its mass.
GIVEN:
V = 825 cm3
D = 13.6 g/cm3
M = ?
WORK:
M = DV
M = (13.6 g/cm3)(825cm3)
M = 11,200 g

I. Solving Density Problems
A liquid has a density of 0.87 g/mL. What volume is occupied by 25 g of the liquid?
GIVEN:
D = 0.87 g/mL
V = ?
M = 25 g
WORK:
V = M D
V = 25 g
0.87 g/mL
V = 29 mLV

J. Dimensional Analysis
Steps:
1. Identify starting & ending units.
2. Line up conversion factors so units cancel.
3. Multiply all top numbers & divide by each bottom number.
4. Check units & answer.
J. Dimensional Analysis
Your European hairdresser wants to cut your hair 8.0 cm shorter. How many inches will he be cutting off? (Hint: 2.54 cm = 1 inch)
8.0 cm 1 in
2.54 cm= 3.2 in
