% Concentration
- ) % Concentration means grams/100 mL
- ) 1:1,000 means 1 gram/1,000 mL
Formula to calculate concentration?
Formula to calculate amount?
C = A/V
A = C x V
Farenheit to Celcius (PP Page 8)
How to calculate Farenheit?
How to calculate Celcius?
Celcius as a function of Farenheit?
F = 9/5(C) + 32
C = 5/9 x (F - 32)
F = mC + b

Absolute Zero/Kelvin Scale
Absolute zero is the _____ possible temperature
We _____ reach absolute zero
The ______ scale begins at absolute zero
0 K = absolute zero = - 273.15
A Kelvin is the same as __ _____ celcius
K = C + 273.15

Conversion Factors
1 Inch = 2.54 cm
1 cm = 0.4 inch (this is 1 divided by 2.54)
**To check: 0.4 x 2.54 = 1
Conversion Factors
1 kg = 2.2 lbs
1 lb = 0.454 kg (this is 1 divided by 2.2)
**To check: 0.454 x 2.2 = 1
