Chapter 4 Flashcards
dimensionless
result from dividing by the same units
conversion factors
conversion of units from one to another is accomplished through conversion factors
mass
represents amount of protons, electrons, neutrons, in an object
force
derives from attractive/repulsive interactions of a mass with surroundings
weight
force derived from gravitational interactions
pounds-force definition
the weight of 1 pound-mass in standard gravity
absolute pressure
measured relative to vacuum
atmospheric pressure
pressure of atmosphere relative to vacuum
gauge pressure
measured relative to atmospheric pressure
temperature value
measure the average random kinetic energy of matter
“It is 55 degrees outside”
temperature interval
measures a change in random kinetic energy
“The temperature increased by 10 degrees”
gram-mole (gmol, mole)
one mole of a substance has a mass equal to the numerical value of its molecular weight in grams
Avogadro’s Number
6.02*10^23
