Chemist and Chemistry
What Is Chemistry?
Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter and energy and changes that matter undergoes.
Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Energy is the ability to do work.

Temperature
The Celsius scale (formerly the Centigrade scale) is the temperature scale in general scientific use.
However, the SI base unit of temperature is the kelvin (K), a unit based on the absolute temperature scale. The conversion from Celsius to Kelvin is simple since the two scales are simply offset by 273.15o.
K = oC + 273.15

Temperature
The Fahrenheit scale is at present the common temperature scale in the United States.
The conversion of Fahrenheit to Celsius, and vice versa, can be accomplished with the following formulas (See Figure 1.23).

Derived Units
The SI unit for speed is meters per second, or m/s.
This is an example of an SI derived unit, created by combining SI base units. Volume is defined as length cubed and has an SI unit of cubic meters (m3). Traditionally, chemists have used the liter (L), which is a unit of volume equal to one cubic decimeter.
1 L = 1 dm 3 and 1 mL = 1 cm 3

Derived Units
The density of an object is its mass per unit volume, m
d=
where d is the density, m is the mass, and V is the volume. (See Figure 1.25) Generally the unit of mass is the gram. The unit of volume is the mL for liquids; cm3 for solids; and L for gases.

Unit Conversion
Sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking soda) reacts with acidic materials such as vinegar to release carbon dioxide gas. Given an experiment calling for 0.348 kg of sodium hydrogen carbonate, express this mass in milligrams.
0.348 kg x 103 g 1 kg x 103 mg 1g = 3.48 x 105 mg
Unit Conversion
Suppose you wish to convert 0.547 lb to grams.
From Table 1.5, note that 1 lb = 453.6 g, so the conversion factor from pounds to grams is 453.6 g/1 lb. Therefore,
0.547 lb
453.6 g = 248 g 1 lb
