SI UNITS
• length, width, height, depth, thickness, etc. = METER (m)
• mass = GRAM (g)
• time/duration = SECOND (s)
• volume = LITER (L) ß must be capital
• temperature = KELVIN (K)
megameter = Mm = 106 (Million)
• micrometer = µm = 10-6
nanometer = nm = 10-9
picometer = pm = 10-12
femtometer = f = 10-15

• Km hm dam dm cm

• 103 102 101 10-1 10-2

•
• Fahrenheit à Celsius
• Temp in F = (1.8)(Temp in C) +32
• Celsius à Kelvin
• Temp in K= Temp in C +273.15
•
1 mL = 1cm3
• If the decimal is .5 (23.5, 67.5, 24.5 etc) round to the even
number
• 23.5 goes up to 24
• 24.5 goes down to 24
•
1 mL = 1cm3
• If the decimal is .5 (23.5, 67.5, 24.5 etc) round to the even
number
• 23.5 goes up to 24
• 24.5 goes down to 24
•
• When adding and subtracting use the decimal place to find sig
figs
• Lowest number of decimal places = # of sig figs
• Ie. 13.6 + 2 + 4.77 = 20.37 but 2 has no decimals so w/
sig figs answer = 20
• 1 cubic meter = 1000 L
• 1 cm3 = 1 mL
•
• formulas
• area of circle = pr2
• circumference of circle = 2pr
• sphere volume = 4/3pr3
• cylinder volume =p r2h
• concentration = mass of dissolved/total volume
• cube volume = s3 so s= cubed root of v
