23
Mass Kilogram, kg
24
Amount of Substance Mole, mol
25
Temperature Kelvin, K NO degree sign! Absolute Temperature no negative # At absolute 0, all molecular motion stops Celsius to Kelvin o C + 273 = K Celsius to Fahrenheit o F = (9/5* o C) + 32
26
Derived Units Define A combination of base units

Volume m3m3m3m3 Length x width x height Not very practical unit so we’ll use L 1 cm 3 = 1 mL 1000 L = 1 m 3
28
Density Mass / volume Kg/m 3 More practical g/mL
29
Pressure Force / Area mmHg, torr, kPa, atm

Reliability of Measurements Accuracy: the closeness of a single measurement to its true value. Hitting the bullseye.
31
Precision: the closeness of a set of values to each other.
32
Measurement Exploration Which measuring devices are more precise?
