SI Units
• SI stands for “le Systeme International
d’Unites”
• France, 1789.
• There are two types of units:
– base units;
– derived units.
• There are 7 base units in the SI system.
• Scientific (Exponential) Notation is used for
convenience with smaller or larger units in
the SI system.
SI Base Units
SI Prefixes
VI. Identifying Matter by its
Properties
B. Density
1) density = mass (g) / volume (ml)
2) D = M / V
3) density usually decreases as temp.
increases (due to increased volume)
Derived Units
• Derived units are obtained from the 7 base
SI units.
• The are combined by multiplication or
division
• Examples: km/hr
g/mL
m/s
cal/g/oC
Density Problems:
• A metal bar has a mass of 35.50 g and a
volume of 262 cm3. What is its density
in g/cm3?
D=M/V
D= 35.50 g / 262 cm3
D= 0.135g/ cm3
Density Problems:
• 500.0 mL of a liquid has a density of
0.447 g/mL. What is its mass?
D=M/V
M= DV
M= (0.447g/ml )(500ml)
M= 224g
Density Problems:
• 4.2 g of a substance has a density of
0.89 g/m3. How much space, in m3, does
it occupy?
D=M/V
V=M/D
V=4.2g / (0.89g/m3)
V=4.7m3
Volume
• The units for
volume are given
by (units of
length)3.
SI unit for volume is 1 m3.
• We usually use
1 mL = 1 cm3.
• Other volume units:
1 L = 1 dm3 = 1000
cm3 = 1000 mL.
Volume
Uncertainty in Measurement
• All scientific measures are subject to error.
• These errors are reflected in the number of
figures reported for the measurement.
• These errors are also reflected in the observation
that two successive measures of the same
Precision and Accuracy (often confused)
• Measurements that are close to the “correct”
value are accurate.
• Measurements that are close to each other are
precise.
Precision and Accuracy
Significant Figures (sig-figs)
• The number of digits reported in a
measurement reflect the accuracy of the
measurement and the precision of the
measuring device.
• Report the fewest significant figures
• Fewest number for multiplication and
division
• Fewest decimal places for addition and
subtraction
•

Significant Figures (sig-figs)
Non-zero numbers (e.g. 1, 2, 3…9) are
significant.
Zeros between non-zero numbers are always
significant. (e.g. 204 ml) (the sandwich rule)
Zeros before the first non-zero digit are not
significant. (e.g. 0.0003 has one.)
Zeros at the end of the number after a
decimal place are significant. (e.g. 123.00 g)
Zeros at the end of a number before a
decimal place are ambiguous (e.g. 10,300 g).
Examples:
How many sig-figs are in each of the following?
4
10 m
= 3; 5.23 x
2. 0.000487 kg = 6; 4.87 x 10-4kg
3. 29.0400 s
= 7; 2.90400 x 10s
4. 507 people = 3; 5.07 x 102 people
5. 230,050 cm = 5; 2.30050 x 105 cm
= 5; 4.5600 x 10 L
6. 45.600 L
1. 52300 m
Scientific Notation
• Numbers written in scientific notation
include a numeral with one digit before the
decimal point, multiplied by some power of
ten (6.022 x 1023)
• All digits are significant.
1. Convert to scientific notation:
a. 450 000 000
b. 0.000 000 047
c. 46.04
2. Convert to non-scientific notation:

Dimensional Analysis
Method of calculation using a knowledge of
units and some basic algebra.
Given units can be multiplied or divided to
give the desired units.
Conversion factors are used to manipulate
units
Treat units just like you would treat numbers
Given unit  (conversion factor) = Desired
unit
The conversion factors are ratios equal to
“1”
Using Two or More Conversion Factors
• To convert length in meters to length in
inches:
• Given: 1 m = 100 cm and 1 inch = 2.54 cm
• What are the conversion factors for these
two?
• How many inches are in 1.5 m?
Using Two or More Conversion Factors
• In dimensional analysis ask three
questions:
• What data are we given? (where are we?)
• What quantity do we need? (where do we
want to be?)
• What conversion factors are available to
take us from what we are given to what
we need? (how do we get there?)
Examples: Convert the following:
1. 240 000 000 cm to km.
2. 0.00657 m3 to cm3.
3. 2.57 years to s.
4. 4.98 feet to mm.
