Study Notes
International System of Units (SI Units)
- Standardized system of measurement used globally.
- Consists of seven base units for different physical quantities.
SI Base Units
- Mass: Kilogram (Kg)
- Length: Meter (M)
- Time: Second (S)
- Temperature: Kelvin (K)
- Amount of Substance: Mole (Mol)
- Electric Current: Ampere (A)
- Luminous Intensity: Candela (cd)
Mass vs. Weight
- Mass is the invariant measure of matter quantity; does not change with gravity.
- Weight is the gravitational force on an object: ( w = mg ) where ( w ) is weight, ( m ) is mass, and ( g ) is gravitational acceleration.
Density
- Density serves as a "fingerprint" for substances; calculated by mass divided by volume:
[ \text{density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} ] - Related to specific gravity, defined as:
[ \text{Specific gravity} = \frac{\rho_{\text{substance}}}{\rho_{\text{standard}}} ] - Standard densities:
- Solids and liquids: ( \rho_{\text{water}} = 1.00 \text{ g/mL} )
- Gases: ( \rho_{\text{air}} = 0.001 \text{ g/mL} )
Temperature
- Indicates the degree of hotness and the total heat content in an object.
- Heat flows from hot to cold regions due to temperature difference.
- Measured using three conventional scales: Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
Mole
- SI unit for measuring the amount of a chemical substance; directly proportional to the number of particles.
- Molar mass: mass (in grams) of one mole of a substance.
- Relationship between mass, moles, and molar mass expressed as:
[ n_X = \frac{m_X}{M_X} ]
where ( n_X ) is moles, ( m_X ) is mass, and ( M_X ) is molar mass.
Relationships in Mole Calculations
- Mass, particle count, and volume of gases at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) are interrelated via formulas.
- A flowchart establishes the links between mass, particle count, and volumes for various substances.
