Measurements in Chemistry, metric units, SI units, Unit factor Conversion, Significant figures, Energy, Density, Specific gravity

Dr. Walt Volland revised September 14, 2006

Suggested problems for practice. There are so many problems at the end of the chapters that you will not be able to do all of them. It is important that you work out answers to these and review them. Answering the question only once is like Michael Jordan shooting a free throw once for practice. Quiz questions will be asked from these and the exercises in the lessons.

These are for the 5th edition of McMurray.
