Card preview (10)
amount of substance
mol
concentration
mol dm–3 or g dm–3 OCR specifications do not support the use of M (molar)
energy
J joules
enthalpy
kJ mol–1
mass
g
rate of reaction
mol dm–3 s–1 These units are the standard in the context of reactions occurring in solution, where the rate is measured in terms of the rate at which the concentration of one of the reactants falls
temperature
°C or K Standard thermometers measure temperature in °C. In certain practical contexts conversion to K is not required; for example in enthalpy determinations, the measured temperature difference is equivalent to the difference in K.
time
s
potential difference
V
volume
cm3 or dm3 Measurements using laboratory apparatus will commonly be in cm3 , while concentrations are expressed in terms of dm3 . ml and l are not official SI units and their use is not supported in OCR specifications
