PHYSICAL QUANTITIES,BASE AND DERIVED QUANTITIES,BASE AND DERIVED UNITS

PHYSICAL QUANTITIES Physics deals with numerous physical quantities in terms of which the laws of physics are expressed. Volume, speed, force, time, mass, density, temperature, electric current e.t.c are few examples of physical quantities. Physical quantities classified into two categories: BASE AND DERIVED QUANTITIES We can define the base quantities as the minimum number of those physical quantities in terms of which other physical quantities can be defined. Derived quantities are those whose definitions are based on other physical quantities, that is, the base quantities. BASE AND DERIVED UNITS Base quantities are said to have base units and derived quantities have derived units. For example, if displacement (length) and time are chosen to be base quantities, then velocity is a derived quantity

UNIT OF CONCENTRATION OF SOLUTION

UNIT OF CONCENTRATION OF SOLUTION Basic terminologies Phase: Every sample of matter with uniform properties and a fixed composition is called a phase. Examples: Sample of water at room temperature and normal pressure exists as a single liquid phase that is all the properties of water sample are same throughout this liquid phase. Mixture of water and small amount of sugar is also the example of phase. However this phase has different properties as compared to pure water sample. But properties of this new phase i.e., water and sugar mixture remains same throughout the sample. Solution: A homogeneous mixture of two or more than two substances is called solution. There are two components of solutions. Solvent: The substance which is present in large quantity in solution is called solvent. Solute: The substance which is present in small quantity in solution is called solute. Example: In aqueous solution of sugar, water is solvent and sugar is solute. Binary ...
