Definitions - Mass & Weight
Mass - The quantity of matter an object contains
kilogram - ( kg ) - the SI base unit of mass, is a platinum - iridium cylinder kept in Paris as a standard!
Weight - depends upon an object’s mass and the strength of the gravitational field pulling on it, i.e. w = f = ma.

Conversion Factors : I
Equivalence statements can be turned into conversion factors by dividing one side into the other.
1 mile = 5280 ft
1 in = 2.54 cm
In converting one set of units for another, the one desired is on top in the conversion factor, and the ‘old’ one is on the bottom so the old units are canceled out.
P 2-3: Convert 29,141 ft into miles.
1 mi 5280 ft15280 ft 1 mi
1 in 2.54 cm12.54 cm 1 in

Conversion Factors - II
1.61 km = 1 mi
P 2-4: Convert 5.519 miles into kilometers:
Conversions in the metric system are easy, as 1 km = 1000 m and 1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm) and 1 cm = 10 millimeters (mm).
P 2-5: Convert 8.89 km into cm

Conversion Factors - IVmetric volume to liters
P 2-7: The volume of the world’s oceans is 1.35 x 109 km3. How many liters of water are in the oceans?
conversion factors: 1 km = 1000 m1 L = 1 dm3 = 10-3 m3 or 1000 L = 1 m3

How to Solve Chemistry Problems(1) Pose the Problem: Employ the Find, Given, Using
Approach Find the unknown quantity, given known quantities and conversion factors, using known or derived formulas (equations). Very often, the problem is stated only in terms of the knowns and the unknown. It is up to you to discover the necessary conversion factors and formulae.
(2) Solve the Problem Symbolically
Rearrange and combine the formulae so that the unknown is on the left side of the equation.
