, 1.1 Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes that matter undergoes.
Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
1.2 The scientific method is a set of guidelines used by scientists to add their experimental results to the
larger body of knowledge in a given field. The process involves observation, hypothesis,
experimentation, theory development, and further experimentation.
1.3 A hypothesis explains observations. A theory explains observations and laws from accumulated
experiments and predicts related phenomena.

1.8 For liquids and solids, chemists normally use g/mL or g/cm as units for density.
For gases, chemists normally use g/L as units for density. Gas densities are generally very low, so the
smaller unit of g/L is typically used. 1 g/L = 0.001 g/mL.
1.9 Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object or sample. It remains constant regardless of where it
is measured.
Weight is the force exerted by an object or sample due to gravity. It depends on the gravitational force where
the weight is measured.
Since gravity on the moon is about one-sixth that on Earth,

1.10 Kelvin is known as the absolute temperature scale, meaning the theoretically lowest possible
temperature is 0 K.
The units of the Celsius and Kelvin scales are equal in magnitude, so conversion between units is a
matter of addition:
K =°C+ 273.15
The freezing point of water is defined as 0°C. The boiling point of water is defined as 100°C.
In the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32°F, and the boiling point of water is 212°F.
Since the difference is 180°F, compared to 100°C between the freezing and boiling points of water, one
degree Fahrenheit represents a smaller change in temperature than one degree Celsius. To convert
between these two temperature scales, use:
5°C
