With the beginning of the digital hand calculator and the loss of life of the slide rule, the instructing of normal chemistry entered a brand new period. regrettably, the alculator
did no longer convey automated realizing of chemistry reading and fixing difficulties is simply as tricky as ever. the necessity for unique reasons, drill, and assessment difficulties remains to be with us.

The unit of force needed to accelerate a mass of 1 g by 1 cm/sec2 is called a dyne. What are the units of a dyne in the cgs system? 54. A budding young chemist decided to throw tradition overboard and include time in the metric system. To do this she kept the unit "day" to refer to the usual 24 hr time interval we know. She then subdivided the day into centidays, millidays, and microdays. 7 sec took how many microdays? (b) A 50 min class period lasts for how many centidays? (c) A car going 60 mph goes how many miles per centiday?
SI UNITS Except for temperature and time, nearly all scientific measurements are based on the metric system. In recent years, there has been a concerted international effort to persuade scientists to express all metric measurements in terms of just seven basic units, called SI units (for Systeme International). In addition to the seven basic SI units, there are seventeen other common units derived from them that have special names. However, despite the logical arguments that have been put forth for undeviating adherence to SI units, there has not been a strong popular move in this direction.
What is the Fahrenheit temperature at absolute zero (0 K)? 13. At what temperature do the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales have the same reading? 14. 0 x 1010 cm/sec. A light-year is the distance that light can travel in a year's time. If the sun is 93,000,000 miles away, how many light-years is it from the earth? 15. If 1 ml of water is spread out as a film 3 A thick, what area in square meters will it cover? 16. The area of a powdered material is 100 trr/g. What volume of water is required to form a film 10 A thick over the surface?
