Chem1Chap2L4Part2-Units of Measurement

This document discusses density, specific gravity, and provides examples of calculating density and specific gravity. It also defines derived units as units that involve measuring more than one parameter and are a combination of basic units. Sample problems demonstrate calculating the density of a metal from its mass and volume, and calculating the specific gravity of a metal by comparing its density to that of water. English and metric unit conversion factors are also presented, along with examples converting between units of length, weight, time, temperature and volume.

Derived Units ● These units involve measuring more


than one parameter, resulting in a
combination of basic units.

Density
It is the mass per unit volume.

Lesson Summary
● SI Units are used to standardize measurements across the globe.
● There are two measurement systems used in the world- English
and Metric System.
● Metric System follows the SI Units as basis for conversion.
● As of 2019, US, Liberia, and Myanmar still follows the English
Units.
● Identifying the proper units in measuring physical quantities is
essential in scientific measurements.
