SI Units
• Système Internationale d'Unités (SI) is an
internationally agreed upon system of
measurements.
• A base unit is a defined unit in a system of
measurement that is based on an object or
event in the physical world, and is independent
of other units.

• The SI base unit of time is the second (s),
based on the frequency of radiation given
off by a cesium-133 atom.
• The SI base unit for length is the meter (m),
the distance light travels in a vacuum in
1/299,792,458th of a second.
• The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram
(kg), about 2.2 pounds

• The SI base unit of temperature
is the kelvin (K).
• Zero kelvin is the point where
there is virtually no particle
motion or kinetic energy, also
known as absolute zero.
• Two other temperature scales
are Celsius and Fahrenheit.
The Difference between Mass and Weight
• Mass is a measurement of how much
matter is in an object eg bag of sugar has a
mass of 1kg.
• Weight is the measure of the amount of
matter but also depends on how much
gravity is acting on you eg Moon vs earth.

Derived Units
• Not all quantities can be measured with SI
base units.
• A unit that is defined by a combination of base
units is called a derived unit.

• Density is a derived unit, g/cm3, the amount of
mass per unit volume.
• The density equation is density = mass/volume
• Units are g/cm3 or g/ml
Measuring Density
Regular Shape Solid
•Measure mass (g) and volume (cm3) directly
•Units: g/cm3
Irregular Shape or Liquid
•Measure mass (g) directly and volume (ml)
by the water displacement method.
•Units: g/ml
Water Displacement Method
Steps
1) Add water to a graduated cylinder and
record the initial volume (ml)
2) Add the solid and record the final volume
(ml)
Volume (ml) = final volume (ml) – initial volume (ml)
• What is the density of an unknown metallic
element that has a volume = 5.0 cm3 and a
mass = 13.5 g?
• When a piece of Aluminum is placed in a 25
ml measuring cylinder that contains 10.5ml
of water, the water level rises to 13.5ml.
What is the mass of the Aluminum?

Scientific Notation
• Scientific notation can be used to express any
number as a number between 1 and 10 (a,
known as the coefficient) multiplied by 10 raised
to a power (n, known as the exponent).
a x 10n
Eg Carbon atoms in the Hope Diamond = 4.6 x 1023
4.6 is the coefficient and 23 is the exponent.

Scientific Notation (cont.)
• Count the number of places the decimal point
must be moved to give a coefficient between 1
and 10.
• The number of places moved = n.
• When the decimal moves to the left, n is positive
and when the decimal moves to the right, n is
negative.
800 = 8.0  102
0.0000343 = 3.43  10–5

• Addition and subtraction
– Exponents must be the same.
– Rewrite values to make exponents the same.
–Ex. 2.840 x 1018 + 3.60 x 1017, you must rewrite
one of these numbers so their exponents are the
same. Remember that moving the decimal to the
right or left changes the exponent.
2.840 x 1018 + 0.360 x 1018
– Add or subtract coefficients.
–Ex. 2.840 x 1018 + 0.360 x 1018= 3.2 x 1018

• Multiplication and division
– To multiply, multiply the coefficients, then add the
exponents.
Ex. (4.6 x 1023)(2 x 10-23) = 9.2 x 100
– To divide, divide the coefficients, then subtract the
exponent of the divisor from the exponent of the
dividend.
Ex. (9 x 107) ÷ (3 x 10-3) = 3 x 1010
Note: Any number raised to a power of 0 is equal to
1: thus, 9.2 x 100 is equal to 9.2.

Dimensional Analysis
• Dimensional analysis is a systematic
approach to problem solving that uses
conversion factors to move, or convert, from
one unit to another.
• A conversion factor is a ratio of equivalent
values having different units.

Dimensional Analysis (cont.)
• Writing conversion factors
– Conversion factors are derived from equality
relationships, such as 1 dozen eggs = 12 eggs.
– Percentages can also be used as conversion factors.
They relate the number of parts of one component to
100 total parts.

Dimensional Analysis (cont.)
• Using conversion factors
– A conversion factor must cancel one unit and
introduce a new one.
Dimensional Analysis Steps:
1. Write the given number and unit. (55mm)
2. Set up a conversion factor (55mm = __?__ m)
•Place the given unit as a denominator of conversion factor.
•Place desired unit as the numerator.
•Place a 1 in front of the larger unit.
•Determine the number of smaller units needed to make “1'
of the larger unit.
3. Cancel units. Solve the problem.

have an infinite number of significant figures.

Key Concepts
• Circle graphs show parts of a whole. Bar graphs show
how a factor varies with time, location, or temperature.
• Independent (x-axis) variables and dependent (y-axis)
variables can be related in a linear or a nonlinear manner.
The slope of a straight line is defined as rise/run, or
∆y/∆x.
• Because line graph data are considered continuous, you
can interpolate between data points or extrapolate
beyond them.
