Chapter 2
2.1 SI Units
SI – International System of Units
- standard units of measurement for scientists
SI Base Units:
Time - second (s)
Length – meter (m)
Mass – kilogram (kg)
Temperature – Kelvin (K)
Amount – mole (mol)
2.1 SI unit
Derived Units – a unit that is defined by a
combination of base units
Volume is a derived unit:
V = l x w x h (units for volume are cm3 or ml)
Density is a derived unit:
D=
mass( g )
volume(ml)

1000 times larger
1 km = 1000 m
hecta (h)
100 times larger
1 hm = 100 m
Deca (D)
10 times larger
1 Dm = 10 m

BASE UNIT L, m, g
deci (d)
10 times smaller
10 dm = 1 m
centi (c)
100 times smaller
100 cm = 1 m
milli
1000 times smaller
1000 mm = 1 m

Temperature
The SI unit for temperature is Kelvin (K).
To convert from Celsius to Kelvin:
from Celsius  to Kelvin ADD 273
from Kelvin  to Celsius SUBTRACT 273
Example:
No degree
- 39°C 
K

2.1 Density
Density =
mass( g )
volume(ml)
Example: solve for density
mass = 13.5 g ; volume = 5.0 cm3
D = 2.7 g/cm3
Density
Examples:
1. Solve for volume
mass = 12.4 g ; density = 25.4 g/ml
2. Solve for mass
density = 425 g/ml ; volume = 1.36 ml
Density
Examples: try yourself
1. Solve for density
mass = 7.5 g ; volume = 13.2 ml
2. Solve for mass
density = 0.5 g/cm3 ; volume = 32.5 cm3

2.2 Scientific Notation
Scientific Notation – way to express very large
and very small numbers
Written as:
A number 1 - 9.99 X 10x
raised to a power
- the exponent tells you how many times the
number is multiplied by 10
Example: 3.14 x 103 or 3.14 x 10-3
2.2 Scientific Notation
When the number is larger than 1 then the
exponent will be positive
Example:
542000 = 5.42 x 105
When the number is less than 1 then the
exponent will be negative
Example:
0.0023 = 2.3 x 10-3
2.2 Scientific Notation
Example: Write the following in scientific notation
56300000 =
0.0018 =
0.00000794 =
Example: Write the following in standard form
2.7 x 106 =
3.54 x 103 =
7.8 x 10-4 =
2.2 Scientific Notation
Examples : Try these yourself
0.00254 =
1.5 x 10-4 =
187000 =
9.14 x 106 =
6.3 x 10-2 =
0.00360 =
2.3 Reliable Measurements
Accuracy – refers to how close a measured
value is to an accepted value
Precision – refers to how close a series of
measurements are to one another
Use mini golf example:
Whose score is the most accurate?
Whose score is the most precise?
Whose score is the most accurate and precise?
2.3 Significant Figures

How precise are your measuring devices?
Which is more precise, a clock or a
stopwatch?
In science we use digits to describe precision.
The digits reported are called significant
figures.
2.52 g is more precise than 2.5 g
Significant Figures include all known digits plus
one estimated digit.

2.3 Significant Figures
Rules for recognizing significant figures:
Use these rules for telling how many sig figs
are in a number.
1. Non zero numbers are always significant
Ex: 72.3 
3 sig figs
2. Zeros between non-zero numbers are
always significant
Ex: 6023.5  5 sig figs
2.3 Significant Figures
3. All final zeros to the right of the decimal
place are significant
Ex: 25.30  4 sig figs
4. Zeros that act as placeholders are NOT
significant
Ex: 0.025 & 430  2 sig figs
5. Counting numbers, constants, and
conversion factors have an infinite number
of sig. figs.
Ex: 6 atoms  infinite # of sig figs
2.3 Significant Figures
United States Method for Sig Figs:
Pacific =
decimal
present
Atlantic =
decimal
absent
2.3 Significant Figures
Reporting your Answer with the correct number
of significant figures:
When you multiply or divide numbers your
answer must have the same number of sig
figs as the measurement in the problem with
the fewest sig figs.
Example:
3.0 x 2.54 =
320 / 12.54 =
Dimensional Analysis
Conversional factor – ratio of equivalent values
used to express the same quantity in different
units.
Ex: 60 sec
1m
1000 g
1 min
100cm
1kg
Dimensional Analysis – method of problem
solving that focuses on the units used
Dimensional Analysis
Steps for solving problems using dimensional
analysis
1. Put the number they give you (w/ units) over 1
2. Set up your next fraction line
3. Put the units you started with in the denominator
4. Put the units you want in the numerator (top)
- always go back to the base if it is not in the
problem
Dimensional Analysis
5. Put a # 1 in front of the larger unit
6. Put the number of smaller units that is equal
to 1 of the bigger unit
7. Multiply across the top, multiply across the
bottom and then divide your answers
8. Write your answer with sig figs and units
Dimensional Analysis
Examples:
How many seconds are in 3 minutes?
How many meters are in 45.6 cm?
Dimensional Analysis
Examples:
Convert 3.2 ml to L.
Convert 16.2 g to dg.
Dimensional Analysis
Examples – 2 step problems
Convert 54 cm to km.
Convert 4.0 x 10-3 Dg to mg.
