    The document provides examples of converting between different units of measurement for length, mass, volume, density and temperature using conversion factors and the factor-label method. It includes converting between meters and millimeters, grams and kilograms, centimeters cubed and meters cubed, grams per cubic centimeter to kilograms per cubic meter, Celsius and Fahrenheit, and Celsius and Kelvin. Formulas for density and temperature conversions are also presented along with average temperatures for some planets.

    Metric Conversions

    Using your knowledge of prefixes


    and a systematic approach called the
    Factor Unit Conversion Method

    Ex. 1-1a: Convert 3.85 m to mm


    (3.85 m)( 1000 mm) = 3850 mm
    (m)
    = 3.85 x 103 mm
    Ex 1-1b: Convert 75.2 mg to kg
    mg g kg
    (75.2 mg)( g ) ( kg ) = 0.0000752 kg
    (1000mg) (1000g)
    = 7.52 x 10-5 kg

    Ex.1-2: Convert 22.0 cg to ng


    Recall:

    1 cg = 10-2g, or 1 g = 102cg
    1 ng = 10-9g or 1 g = 109 ng

    [22.0 cg][ g ] [ 109 ng ] = 22.0 x107ng


    [ 102 cg] [ g ]
    = 2.20 x 108 ng

    Ex.1-3 Convert 0.0035 L to


    microlitres
    Note:

    1L = 106 L

    [0.0035 L ] [ 106 L ] = 3500 L


    L
    = 3.5 x 103 L

    Ex.1-4 Convert 7.6 ng to picograms


    Given: 1 g = 1012 pg

    or

    1 pg = 10-12 g

    [ 7.6 ng] [ g ] [ 1012 pg ] = 7.6 x 103 pg


    [ 109 ng ] [ g ]

    Ex. 1-5 Convert 150

    3
    cm

    to

    3
    m

    1 m = 102 cm
    (1 m)3 = ( 102 cm)3
    therefore ; 1 m3 = 106 cm3
    Note:

    [ 150 cm3 ] [ m3 ] = 1.5 x 10-4 m3


    [ 106 cm3 ]

    Ex. 1-6 Convert 1.82 g /cm3 to kg/m3


    [ 1.82 g/cm3 ] [ kg/103g ] [ 106 cm3/m3 ] =
    =1.82 x 103 kg/m3
    Or

    [ 1.82 g ] [1 kg ] [ 106 cm3 ] = 1.82 x 103 kg/m3


    [ cm3 ] [ 103 g ] [ m3 ]

    Ex#2 Lab. Manual(Post Lab Q)


    1. b) 0.5 cm = ---?--- m
    [ 0.5 cm] [ 1 m ] [ 106 m ] = 5 x 103 m
    [ 102 cm] [ m ]

    Ex. 1-7 Density , d = m/V


    Calc. the volume in liters at 20oC occupied
    by 880 g of benzene (found in gasoline),
    given the density of benzene
    d20 = 0.88 g/mL
    V = m/d = 880 g = 1000mL = 1.0 L
    0.88g/mL

    Ex. 1-8 Density, d = m/V


    Calc. the density in g/mL for a piece of
    metal measuring: 2.0 cm by 0.10 dm by 25 mm
    with a mass of 30.0 g.
    Convert all distances to cm.
    ie: 0.1 dm = {0.1 dm}{1m/10dm} = 0.010 m =
    (0.010m)(100cm/m) = 1.0 cm
    V = (2.0cm)(1.0cm)(2.5cm) = 5.0 cm3 (contd)

    (contd) V=5.0 cm3 = 5.0 mL


    and m = 30.0 g
    d = m/V = 30.0 g = 6.0 g/cm3
    5.0 cm3
    = 6.0 g/mL

    Ex. 1-9 Density , d = m/V


    Calc. the volume (in mL) at 20oC occupied by a
    sample of benzene with a mass of 2.5 kg and a
    density d20 = 8.8 x 102 kg/m3

    m = 2.5 kg
    d = 8.8 x 102 kg/m3 at 20oC

    Ex. 1-9 Density (contd)


    V = m/d = 2.5 kg
    = 0.00284 m3
    880 kg/m3
    convert to cm3 ie. mL

    {0.00284 m3}{106 cm3 / m3}= 2.8 x 103 cm3=2800 mL

    Temp. Conversion Formulae


    K = 0C + 273
    0F = 1.8 0C + 32
    Note:1.8 = 9/5 this is derived from the
    ratio of the number of subdivisions in the
    Fahrenheit scale(180) to that in the Celsius
    scale (100); 180/100 = 9/5 = 1.8

    Ex. 1-10 Convert 250F to Celsius


    and Kelvin

    = 1.8 0C + 32

    K = 0C + 273 = -31.6 + 273 = 241.4

    The lowest recorded temp. in the world was
    -89.20C at the former Soviet Antarctic
    station in 1983. Convert this into 0F.
    0F

    = 1.8 0C + 32 = 1.8( -89.2 ) + 32


    = -160.56 + 32
