Dimensional Analysis
Measuring and Data Analysis
Dimensional Analysis
▪ Problem-solving method focused on
units that describe matter and their
relationships.
▪ Often uses conversion factors.
Conversion factors
▪ Ratio of equivalent values that express the
same quantity in different units.
▪ Always equal to 1
▪ Changes units without changing magnitude.

Measuring
▪ Comparing a quantity with its
corresponding unit, so it is possible
to determine how many times the
unit is contained in this quantity.

Measuring systems
▪ English system (British Imperial System)
– around 1220
▪ Metric system (decimal) – 1790
▪ International System of Units (SI) - 1960

Measuring systems
▪ Base units: based on objects or events
from the physical world.
▪ Derived units: combinations of base
units.

Fundamental quantities / base units
▪ Lenght: meter (m)
▪ Mass: kilogram (kg)
▪ Time: second (s)
▪ Thermodynamic temperature: kelvin (K)
▪ Amount of substance: mole (mol)
▪ Luminous intensity: candela (cd)
▪ Electric current: ampere (A)

What volume is occupied by 16.4 g of mercury?
The density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL.
A 3.2 cm-edge cube has a mass of 450 g.
Calculate its density in lb/in3
A 50-mL graduated cylinder was filled with 15.9 mL of water. 30.0 g of
an unknown metal (in the form of small pellets) was added to the
graduated cylinder, causing the water level to rise to 17.3 mL. The
possible identities of the metal are aluminum (d = 2.70 g/cm3), iron (d
= 7.78 g/cm3), magnesium (d = 1.74 g/cm3), tin (d = 7.26 g/cm3),
platinum (d = 21.5 g/cm3), beryllium (d = 1.85 g/cm3), or copper (d =
8.94 g/cm3). Identify the metal.
Calculate the molar mass for the following compounds :
H2
SO4
As2
O3
C12
H22

Scientific Notation
▪ Numbers as multiple of two factors:
1 to 9 and 10n
▪ Larger than 1: n = (+)
▪ Smaller than 1: n = (-)
▪ Adding and substracting: SAME
exponents!
▪ Multiplying: multiply factors, then add
exponents.
▪ Dividing: divide factors, then substract
exponents.

1. Choose someone to work with today.
2. Take your notebook and pencil and/or mobile
device with you.
3. Go out from the classroom and measure 10
different things using only the tools you have
(notebook/pencil/mobile device). Write down
the measurements. You will have 15 minutes
to do this.
4. Come back to the classroom to share your
results.
