Exact Numbers Considered to have an infinite number of significant figures Ex. “There are 4 quarts in a gallon”, the number 4 would be exact Ex. “A is two times as large as B”, the number 2 would be exact Usually involve counted values, conversion factors, or definitions

Prefixes You must know: kilo = 1000 centi = 1/100 milli = 1/1000
Useful in future: Mega = 106 nano = 10-9 pico = 10-12
10
Fill in the missing numbers
1 kg = ____ g 1g = ____ cg 1g = ____ mg 1 km = ____ m 1 m = ____ cm 1 m = ____ mm 1 cm = ____ mm 1L = ____ mL 1mL = ____ cm3

Dimensional Analysis (aka conversions)
Def: method of calculation utilizing a knowledge of units where conversion factors are used to manipulate units The conversion factors are simple ratios Ex: 1 hr = 60 min, 1 mol = x 1023 atoms
13
Steps to Dimensional Analysis
What data are we given? What quantity do we need (our unknown)? What conversion factors are available to take us from what we are given to what we need? [perform calculation] Does our answer make sense?
14
Factor Label Method (used in all chemistry and physics classes
Factor Label Method (used in all chemistry and physics classes. Save yourself lots of grief and learn it now!) Remember these two ideas: Any number can be multiplied by 1 without changing its value. Multiplying by a conversion factor is like multiplying by 1 because the numerator and the denominator are equal. Ex.
15
Let’s do some together! Ms. B’s college ring weighs ______ g. How many kg is this? Convert 2 L of Monster to mL. Convert 2.5 kg to mg.

3:07-5:18
17
Whiteboard Race How many L is 36.2 mL?
18
Whiteboard Race How many teaspoons are in a liter bottle of Sprite? 1tsp = 4.93mL
19
Whiteboard Race Wes speeds down the hallway at a whopping 4 miles per hour. How many km/s is he travelling?
20
Whiteboard Race You scrounge up the money to by a Jaguar (the car, not the animal…). You’re going down the highway with your speedometer reading 47 km/hr. Are you speeding if the speed limit is 60 miles/hr?
21
Whiteboard Race In a primitive barter society, the following rates of exchange exist: 1 fot = 5 vum 2 sop = 3 tuz 4 bef = 3 tuz 9 fot = 2 bef A woman has 4 sop and wants to convert all her possessions into vum. How many vum can she trade for?
