DEFINITION OF CHEMISTRY
Chapter # 01
DEFINITIONS
1. TEMPERATURE
Degree of hotness or coldness of a body is called "TEMPERATURE". "Temperature is a measure of the intensity of heat".
Temperature is defined as :
"the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a body is called temperature"
SCALES OF TEMPERATURE:
There are three scales s caemperature.
1. Celsius or centigrade scale C.
2. Fahrenheit scale F.
3. Kelvin or Absolute scale K.
CONVERSION
Centigrade & Kelvin
Tk = Tc + 273
Centigrade & Fahrenheit
C/5 = (F-32) /9
2. VOLUME
Volume is defined as
" The space occupied by a body is called its volume."
SYMBOL
Volume is denoted by "V
UNITS
a) m3
b) dm3
c) cm3
d) mm3
e) Litre
f) Milli litre
3. MASS
The quantity of matter contained in a body is called its "Mass".
SYMBOL
Mass is denoted by "m".
UNITS
a) Kilogram
b) Gram
c) Milligram
d) Microgram
4. DENSITY
Mass per unit volume of a substance is called its "Density".
FORMULA
UNIT
a) Kg / m3
b) gm / cm3
c) gm /litre
d) gm / dm3
5. MOLE
"Atomic mass or formula mass or molecular mass of a
substance expressed in grams is called MOLE".
Or
Mass of a substance contains 6.02 x 1023 atoms or molecules or ions is called "mole"
For example:
1. Atomic mass of carbon = 12 a.m.u.
therefore 12 gram of carbon = one mole of carbon.
2. ...
