Your thermodynamics calculation involves mass and a change in temperature. What SI base units would you use?
Mole and Kelvin
To calculate a thermodynamic quantity involving mass and a change in temperature, you would need to use the following SI base units:
1. Mass: The base unit for mass in the SI system is the kilogram (kg). It is the fundamental unit for measuring mass.
2. Temperature: The base unit for temperature in the SI system is the Kelvin (K). It is the fundamental unit for measuring temperature in thermodynamics.
When performing calculations involving mass and temperature change, you would typically use the kilogram (kg) for mass and the Kelvin (K) for temperature. It is important to note that Celsius (°C) is not a base unit in the SI system, but it can be converted to Kelvin by adding 273.15.
