5
This lesson… Define the metric prefixes Mega, Kilo, deci, centi, milli, and micro Use conversion factors to perform one anD two step conversions
6
This lesson… Define the metric prefixes Mega, Kilo, deci, centi, milli, and micro Use conversion factors to perform one an two step conversions Metric prefixes One larger thing equals many smaller things
7
This lesson… Define the metric prefixes Mega, Kilo, deci, centi, milli, and micro Use conversion factors to perform one an two step conversions Metric prefixes centi (c) 1 g = 100 cg – 1 dollar = 100 cents – 1 meter = 100 cm – 1 liter – 100cl
8
This lesson… Define the metric prefixes Mega, Kilo, deci, centi, milli, and micro Use conversion factors to perform one an two step conversions Metric prefixes kilo (k) 1 kg = 1,000 g – 1km = 1000 m – 1kL = 1000 L
9
This lesson… Define the metric prefixes Mega, Kilo, deci, centi, milli, and micro Use conversion factors to perform one an two step conversions Metric prefixes Mega (M) 1 Mg = 1,000,000 g – 1Mm = 1,000, 000 m – 1ML = 1,000, 000 L
10
This lesson… Define the metric prefixes Mega, Kilo, deci, centi, milli, and micro Use conversion factors to perform one an two step conversions Metric prefixes deci (d) 1 g = 10 dg
11
This lesson… Define the metric prefixes Mega, Kilo, deci, centi, milli, and micro Use conversion factors to perform one an two step conversions Metric prefixes milli (m) 1 g = 1,000 mg
12
This lesson… Define the metric prefixes Mega, Kilo, deci, centi, milli, and micro Use conversion factors to perform one an two step conversions Metric prefixes micro ( ) 1 g = 1,000,000 g
14

18
Which is larger? 3.milliliter or centiliter centiliter 4.kilogram or megagram 5.millimeter or kilometer
19
Which is larger? 3.milliliter or centiliter centiliter 4.kilogram or megagram megagram 5.millimeter or kilometer kilometer
20
Convert to solve 6.a penny = 1 centidollar 7.a dime = 1 deci dollar 8.a megabuck = 1 million dollars 9.a kilopenny = 10 dollars
21
Prefix and Base Unit Questions 1.What would be the most appropriate unit to measure the distance from here in Orlando to grandmas house in Georgia? 2.What would be the most appropriate unit to measure the mass of a teaspoon of water? 3.What would be the most appropriate unit to measure the volume of air in a birthday balloon?
22
Prefix and Base Unit Questions 4.What would be the most appropriate unit to measure the mass of a single atom? 5.What would be the most appropriate unit to measure the amount of time for light to reach Earth from the nearest star?
23
Prefix and Base Unit Questions 1.What would be the most appropriate unit to measure the distance from here in Orlando to grandmas house in Georgia? (kilometer or Megameter) [1500 km]
24
Prefix and Base Unit Questions 2.What would be the most appropriate unit to measure the mass of a teaspoon of water? (if looked in notes you would have remembered that an average paper clip has a mass of 1 gram)
25

28
Conversions Factor-label method Dimensional analysis Conversion-factor method
29
FOLLOW THE METHOD
30
To convert from 1 unit to another: Start every question with a “?” The “?” represents “How many?”
31
Conversions Convert 152 cm to m becomes ? m = 152 cm
32
LEARN THE METHOD
33
Conversion Factor A statement of fact expressed as a fraction equaling one
34
Conversion Factor Fact: 1 m = 100 cm 1 m100 cm 100 cm 1 m =
35
Which conversion to use? ? m = 152 cm x ___ m cm
36
Which conversion to use? ? m = 152 cm x 1 m 100 cm
37
Which conversion to use? ? m = 152 cm x 1 m 100 cm = 1.52 m
38
Conversions Convert kg to grams
39
Conversions 1.Question mark format 2.Cancel units 3.Insert fact 4.Do the math
40
Follow the method Convert 62 kg to grams 62kg x 1000 g 1kg
41
Follow the method Convert 1700 μs to ds 1700 μs x 1s x 10 ds 1,000,000 μs 1s
42
Follow the method 0.056 mm = ______ km 0.056 mm x 1m x 1 km 1000 mm 1000m
43
Follow the method Convert 62 kg to grams 62,000 g Convert 1700 μs to ds 0.017 ds 0.056 mm = ______ km 5.6 x 10 -8 km
44
Problem Set # 1 1.59 dg to g 2.9.8 cm to m 3.60 L to mL 4.1.4 x 10 -7 m to Km 5.4500 Ks to Ms
45
FOLLOW THE METHOD
46
Problem Set # 1 1.59 dg to g ? g = 59 dg x 1 g 10 dg = 5.9 g
47
Problem Set # 1 2.? m = 9.8 cm 9.8 cm x 1 m x 1,000,000 m 100 cm 1 m 9.8 cm = 98,000 m 9.8 x 10 4 m
48
Problem Set # 1 3.? mL = 60 L x 1000 ml 1 L 60 L = 60,000 ml or 6 x 10 4 ml
49
Problem Set # 1 4.? Km = 1.4 x 10 -7 m x 1 Km 1000 m = 1.4 x 10 -10 Km
50
Problem Set # 1 5.? Ms = 4500 Ks x 1000 s x 1 Ms 1 Ks 1,000,000 s 4500 Ks = 4.5 Ms
51
A little harder How many yards are in 91.44 Km? Fact 2.54 cm = 1 inch FOLLOW THE METHOD
52
FOLLOW THE METHOD
53
Assignment Complete and bring your notes to class. Be ready to do conversions with metric units. Read 25-35 Prepare yourself for a quick Chemistry quiz covering this podcast 1 st thing in class tomorrow
