Q11 The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM—Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) maintains and updates SI writing conventions. All physical quantities can be expressed with SI but the BIPM does accept non‐standard expressions (bar for pressure, for example). In contrast, The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering only accepts standard SI units. Identify all acceptable SI expressions. [1,2] The mass fraction of silica was 3%. The mass fraction of silica was 0.03. The silica content was 3 wt %.450 o C 3234 ppmx ‾ =x max + x min 245 ml 45 mL
