Homogeneous mixtures are also called solutions. Mass versus Weight Using Conversion Factors Chemistry is an experimental science in which a consistent system of measurements is used.

However‚ this course is impossible to undertake for students unless the students know how to deal with the units and other basic values are calculated in. Therefore in the first chapter of Engineering Mechanics One‚ the students are taught the Conversions of Units. Units are the basics calculation. A system of forces cannot be interpreted unless there is homogeneity of units. A very simple example can be used to explain this concept. Imagine a force of twenty kips and twenty Newton acting on the

Woolen measure or Yorkshire wool is carded but not combed‚ so is a little rougher. Worsted wool is usually very fine and used for suits and fine fabric. Hand knitting yarn is usually woolen type yarn. When quoting wool some manufacturers specify "worsted" or "woolen". Most do not! Conversion Formulas for

The Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen fixation Atmospheric nitrogen must be processed‚ or "fixed" to be used by plants. Some fixation occurs in lightning strikes‚ but most fixation is done by free-living or symbiotic bacteria. These bacteria have an enzyme that combines gaseous nitrogen with hydrogen to produce ammonia‚ which is then further converted by the bacteria to make their own organic compounds.

for all metric unit conversion factors. In the United States‚ the English System is more commonly used; however‚ in the professions of medicine and science‚ the Metric System is favored. The Unit of Measurement for the English System is based on units used in historical England. Examples of English units include: gallons‚ pounds‚ inches‚ and feet. Dimensional analysis is the method used to convert from ‘English to Metric’ or from ‘Metric to Metric’. Metric Unit Conversion Factors The base unit
