Chapter 2, Problem 155AP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The power of 10 for the prefix of 540 kilohertz radio frequency should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

In chemistry physical quantities are such as weights, length temperature etc measured in the international system of units which are known as metric system

In the metric system, prefixes are used to denote about smaller or larger measurements of any physical quantities.

Answer to Problem 155AP

${\text{10}}^{\text{3}}$ or + 3 power of 10 for the prefix of 540 kilohertz radio frequency.

Explanation of Solution

In chemistry physical quantities are such as weights, length temperature etc measured in the international system of units which are known as metric system

Some common unit of Metric system are as follows:

1. Meter (m) is unit of length.
2. Liter (L) is unit of volume.
3. Gram (g) and kilogram (kg) are units of mass.
4. Degree Celsius ( ${}^{\text{o}}\text{ C }$ ) is unit of temperature.
5. Second (s) is unit of time.

In the metric system, prefixes are used to denote about smaller or larger measurements. Generally used along with their abbreviation and meaning are as follows:

$\begin{array}{l}\overline{\underset{\_}{\text{Prefix }\text{Abbreviation Meaning}}}\\ {\text{Tera T 10}}^{\text{12}}\\ {\text{Giga G 10}}^{\text{9}}\\ {\text{Mega M 10}}^{\text{6}}\\ {\text{Kilo k 10}}^{\text{3}}\\ {\text{Deci d 10}}^{-1}\\ {\text{Centi c 10}}^{-2}\\ {\text{Milli m 10}}^{-3}\\ \text{Micro }\text{μ}{\text{ 10}}^{-6}\\ {\text{Nano n 10}}^{-9}\\ {\text{Pico p 10}}^{-12}\\ \underset{\rightharpoondown }{{\text{Femto f 10}}^{-15}}\end{array}$

The metric prefix is kilo is used for ${\text{10}}^{\text{3}}$ or + 3 power of 10.

In the metric system, prefixes are used to denote about smaller or larger measurements of any physical quantities.

Answer to Problem 155AP

${\text{10}}^{\text{9}}$ or + 9 power of 10 for the prefix of 2-gigabyte flash memory card of digital camera.

Explanation of Solution

In chemistry physical quantities are such as weights, length temperature etc measured in the international system of units which are known as metric system

Some common unit of Metric system are as follows:

1. Meter (m) is unit of length.
2. Liter (L) is unit of volume.
3. Gram (g) and kilogram (kg) are units of mass.
4. Degree Celsius ( ${}^{\text{o}}\text{ C }$ ) is unit of temperature.
5. Second (s) is unit of time.

In the metric system, prefixes are used to denote about smaller or larger measurements. Generally used along with their abbreviation and meaning are as follows:

$\begin{array}{l}\overline{\underset{\_}{\text{Prefix }\text{Abbreviation Meaning}}}\\ {\text{Tera T 10}}^{\text{12}}\\ {\text{Giga G 10}}^{\text{9}}\\ {\text{Mega M 10}}^{\text{6}}\\ {\text{Kilo k 10}}^{\text{3}}\\ {\text{Deci d 10}}^{-1}\\ {\text{Centi c 10}}^{-2}\\ {\text{Milli m 10}}^{-3}\\ \text{Micro }\text{μ}{\text{ 10}}^{-6}\\ {\text{Nano n 10}}^{-9}\\ {\text{Pico p 10}}^{-12}\\ \underset{\rightharpoondown }{{\text{Femto f 10}}^{-15}}\end{array}$

The metric prefix is giga is used for ${\text{10}}^{\text{9}}$ or + 9 power of 10.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The power of 10 for the prefix of shirt sleeve in centi-meter should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

In chemistry physical quantities are such as weights, length temperature etc measured in the international system of units which are known as metric system

In the metric system, prefixes are used to denote about smaller or larger measurements of any physical quantities.

Answer to Problem 155AP

${\text{10}}^{\text{-2}}$ or -2 power of 10 for the prefix of shirt sleeve in centi-meter.

Explanation of Solution

In chemistry physical quantities are such as weights, length temperature etc measured in the international system of units which are known as metric system

Some common unit of Metric system are as follows:

1. Meter (m) is unit of length.
2. Liter (L) is unit of volume.
