(a)
Interpretation:
The term SI base units need to be defined.
Concept introduction:
The term is defined as a phrase or word to explain a concept or thing. For example: for the description “anything that occupies space and have mass” is termed as matter.
Symbol is a character used to represent a function, object or process. For example: the SI unit of mass is kilograms and its symbol is kg.
(b)
Interpretation:
The term significant figures needs to be defined.
Concept introduction:
The term is defined as a phrase or word to explain a concept or thing. For example: for the description “anything that occupies space and have mass” is termed as matter.
Symbol is a character used to represent a function, object or process. For example: the SI unit of mass is kilograms and its symbol is kg.

- The label on a bale of mulch indicates a volume of 1.45 ft3. The label also states that the mulch in the bale will cover an area of a garden 6 ft 6 ft to a depth of 1 in. Account for the discrepancy in the given volumes.arrow_forwardAlthough the preferred SI unit of area is the square meter, land is often measured in the metric system in hectares (ha). One hectare is equal to 10,000 m2. In the English system, land is often measured in acres (1 acre = 160 rod2). Use the exact conversions and those given in Exercise 47 to calculate the following. a. 1 ha = __________ km2 b. The area of a 5.5-acre plot of land in hectares, square meters, and square kilometers c. A lot with dimensions 120 ft by 75 ft is to be sold for 6500. What is the price per acre? What is the price per hectare?arrow_forwardIf a sample of unknown substance has a mass of 3.50 kg and a volume of 1.30 L, what is the density of the substance when expressed in conventional (but non-SI) units of g/cm3?arrow_forward
- What are the fundamental SI units of measure for mass, length, and temperature?arrow_forwardThe drug cyclophosphamide is administered for breast cancer at a daily dose of 100 mg/m^2 for up to 14 consecutive days. The BSA of a patient measuring 5 ft and 1 inch in height and weighing 95 lbs is ____ m^2, and total quantity administered over the 2-week period is ____ g.arrow_forwardThe density (d) of a substance is an intensive property that is defined as the ratio of its mass (m) to its volume (V). density = (mass)/(volume) d = (m)/(V)Considering that mass and volume are both extensive properties, explain why their ratio, density, is intensive.arrow_forward
