prelims Flashcards
Is a collection of quantitative or numerical data that describes a property of an object or event. consists of a number and a unit. For example, the length of a stick is 10 inches.
Measurements
A measurement is considered accurate if it yields a result that is very close to the true or accepted value. - the degree to which the result of a measurement, calculation, or specification conforms to the correct value or a standard.
Accuracy
Precise value agreed with each other; accurate value agreed with the true value.
the quality, condition, or fact of being exact and accurate
precision
is important in chemistry because many calculations use different units of measurement and using __________ factor, we can convert one unit to another desired unit. A conversion factor is a ratio or fraction which represents the relationship between two different units.

Is an approach in solving problems of measurements. It is the analysis of the relationships between different physical quantities by identifying their base quantities and units of measure and tracking these dimensions as calculations or comparisons are performed. In short, it is a technique of converting between units.
Dimensional analysis
- By definition, fundamental (primary/basic) units are all those units of Metric System which are independent of any other unit (including themselves); they can be determined even without using formulas. Examples are mass, length, temperature, volume of liquid to cite some. On the other
Fundamental and Derived Quantities
is the quantity of matter in a particular sample of matter. _______ is constant regardless of where it is being measured. If the same material is being measured, say, the ________ of the material, it is the same whether you measure it on the moon or here on earth.
Mass
is the gravitational force of attraction between the body’s mass and the mass of the planet where it is being measured. 0.250 L 150 cm3 30 tablets
Weight
________ is simply measured with a ruler, or a meterstick. Volume of a liquid is measured in a graduated cylinder, pipette, volumetric flask, etc.
length
_____ of a regular solid is determined by measuring its dimensions and multiplying them together, while the ________ of an irregular solid is determined by means of water displacement method. In water displacement method, the amount of space taken by the object is the _________ of the object.
volume
r means?
r = radius of the cylinder
h means?
h = height of the cylinder
what’s the formula of density
P = m/v
Formula of Celsius
oC = 5/9 (o F-32)
formula of Fahrenheit?
oF = 9/5 (oC) + 32
formula of Kelvin
K = oC + 273 (or 273. 15)
formula of specific gravity
SG = density of object/density of water
SG = mass of obj / mass of water
specific gravity doesn’t have a unit of measurement.
true or false
true
specific gravity does have a unit of measurement.
true or false
false
Density of water has a constant equivalent of
1g/mL or 1g/cm^2
𝑐=𝑄 / 𝑚∆𝑇
