Measurement
You make a measurement every time you
• measure your height.
• read your watch.
• take your temperature.
• weigh a cantaloupe.

Measurement in Chemistry
In chemistry we
• measure quantities.• do experiments.• calculate results. • use numbers to report
measurements.• compare results to
standards.Copyright © 2005 by Pearson Education, Inc.Publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Measurement
In a measurement
• a measuring tool is used to compare some dimension of an object to a standard.
• of the thickness of the skin fold at the waist, calipers are used.

Stating a Measurement
In every measurement, a number is followed by a unit.
Observe the following examples of measurements:
Number and Unit
35 m
0.25 L
225 lb
3.4 hr
6
The Metric System (SI)
The metric system or SI (international system) is
• a decimal system based on 10.
• used in most of the world.
• used everywhere by scientists.
7
Units in the Metric System
In the metric and SI systems, one unit is used for each type of measurement:
Measurement Metric SILength meter (m) meter (m)Volume liter (L) cubic meter (m3)Mass gram (g) kilogram (kg)Time second (s) second (s)Temperature Celsius (C) Kelvin (K)
8
Length Measurement
Length
• is measured using a meter stick.
• uses the unit of meter (m) in both the metric and SI systems.

9
Inches and Centimeters
The unit of an inch is equal to exactly 2.54 centimeters in the metric (SI) system.
1 in. = 2.54 cm

10
Volume Measurement
Volume • is the space occupied by a
substance.
• uses the unit liter (L) in metric system.
• 1 L = 1.057 qt
• uses the unit m3(cubic meter) in the SI system.
• is measured using a graduated cylinder.

11
Mass Measurement
The mass of an object
• is the quantity of material it contains.
• is measured on a balance.• uses the unit gram (g) in the
metric system.• uses the unit kilogram (kg) in
the SI system.

12
Temperature Measurement
The temperature of a substance
• indicates how hot or cold it is.
• is measured on the Celsius (C) scale in the metric system.
• on this thermometer is 18ºC or 64ºF.
• in the SI system uses the Kelvin (K) scale.

Time Measurement
Time measurement
• uses the unit second(s) in both the metric and SI systems.
• is based on an atomic clock that uses a frequency emitted by cesium atoms.

Prefixes
A prefix
in front of a unit increases or decreases the size of that unit.
makes units larger or smaller that the initial unit by one or more factors of 10.
indicates a numerical value.
prefix = value
1 kilometer = 1000 meters
1 kilogram = 1000 grams

An equality
states the same measurement in two different units.can be written using the relationships between two
metric units.
Example: 1 meter is the same as 100 cm and 1000 mm.
1 m = 100 cm
1 m = 1000 mm
