Module 1: Measurements

Question 1

Common Mass Units

Convert them to grams and name their exponential equivalents

Answer 1

kilogram (kg) -> 1000g -> 10^3g
grams (g) -> 1g -> 10^0g 
decigram (dg) -> 0.1 -> 10^-1g 
centigram (cg)-> 0.01 -> 10^-2g
milligram (mg) -> 0.001 -> 10^-3g 
microgram(mcg) -> 0.000001 -> 10^-6g

Question 2

Volume

1. ) What is the SI unit of volume?
2. ) Name common volume relationships

Answer 2

1. Cubic Metre (m^3)
2. 1L = 1000ml = 1000cm^3
   1ml = 1cm^3
   1L = 1.057 qt (1 quarter of a gallon)
   946.1ml = 1 qt

Question 3

Temperature

1. ) What is the SI unit of temperature?
2. ) Name the 3 temperature scales
3. ) what are the conversion equations for each

Answer 3

1. Kelvin
2. Degrees Celsius (C), Kelvin (K), Degrees Fahrenheit (F)
3. K = C + 273.15
   F = (1.8 x C) + 32
   C = (F-32)/ 1. The 8
