Unit 1 Part 2: Measurement MR. GATES CHEMISTRY

Slide 2

Measurement Measurement is a quantitative description of both a number and a unit. Ex. 6 feet and 2 inches

Slide 3

Standards There needs to be standards in order for units to work. The Kings foot.

Slide 4

Accuracy vs. Precision Accuracy describes how close a measurement is to the accepted value Precision describes how close a measurement is to other measurements taken.

Slide 5

Percent Error

Slide 6

Significant Figures All numbers in a measurement that can be known precisely plus one additional number that is estimated. Digits in a measurement that indicate the precision of an instrument used to take a measurement.

Slide 7

Examples (going for a walk) 3 miles (3 estimated) 1.9 miles (9 estimated) 1.91 miles (1 estimated) 1.918 miles (8 estimated)

Slide 8

Which Figures are Significant? All nonzero digits are significant Ex. 5.3 has two significant figures Zeroes appearing in front (to the left) of a nonzero digit are NOT significant Ex. 0.0275 has three significant figures Zeroes appearing in between two nonzero digits are ALWAYS significant Ex. 2.054 has four significant figures Zeroes appearing to the right of a nonzero number and after the decimal place are significant. Ex. 32.810 has five significant figures Zeroes to the right of nonzero digits and to the left of a decimal place are ambiguous. Ex. 300 has ?? it depends

Slide 9

Ambiguous Numbers??? 200 miles 200. miles 200.0 miles

Slide 10

Practice How many significant figures are in the following numbers? a).0891 b)109.3 c)6.0 d)0.0005 e)1.089 f)7.0020 g).08340

Slide 11

Rules for Rounding If the number to the right of the last significant figure is from 0-4, round down. If the number to the right of the last significant figure is from 5-9, round up. Examples: 26.819 rounded to three significant figures is 26.8 Rounded to four significant figures is 26.82 Practice: 0.01037 Rounded to three significant figures? Rounded to two significant figures?

Slide 12

Practice Round the number 34.1050 to: a)2 sig figs a)34 b)5 sig figs a)34.105 c)4 sig figs a)34.11 d)3 sig figs a)34.1 Round the number 0.0539801 to: a)2 sig figs a)0.054 b)5 sig figs a)0.053980 c)4 sig figs a)0.05398 d)3 sig figs a)0.0540

Slide 13

Exceptions that Make the Rule There is an UNLIMITED amount of sig figs in two circumstances. Counted numbers 23 students in class (cant have a fraction of a person) Exact/defined quantities 12 inches in a foot Like 12.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 (catching my breath)000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000. To infinity and beyond zeroes

Slide 14

Sig Figs w/ Calculations Addition or Subtraction The answer can have no more decimal places than the number with the least decimal places in the calculation. Ex. 4.56-1.2= 3.36, but with proper sig figs the answer is =3.4 Ex. 9.64+1.751= 11.391, but with proper sig figs the answer is = 11.39

Slide 15

Sig Figs w/ Calculations Multiplication and Division The answer can have no more sig figs than the number with the least amount of sig figs in the calculation. Ex. 1.24 x 2.6 = 3.224, but with proper sig figs the answer is... = 3.2 Ex. 5.11 x 6.551 = 33.47561, but with proper sig figs the answer is = 33.5

Slide 16

Scientific Notation Scientific notation is a number written as the product of two numbers. Follows the following format: M x 10 N M is some number between 1 and 10 N is the amount of times the decimal places had to be moved. N decimals

Slide 17

Putting #s in Sci. Notation Every time the decimal place is moved the exponent must move too. M x 10 N If the decimal moves then the exponent goes down If the decimal moves then the exponent goes up

Slide 18

In and Out Put into scientific notation: 0.0000361 9,840,000,000 Take out of scientific notation: 3.65 x 10 7 2.49 x 10 -4

Slide 19

Sig Figs and Sci. Notation All of the numbers in proper scientific notation are significant No ambiguous numbers!!! 2000 is 2.00 x 10 3 with three sig figs.

Slide 20

Addition/Subtraction in Sci. Notation Adding and Subtracting: Exponents must be the same!!! EX:5.1 x 10 5 + 6.07 x 10 5 11.17 x 10 5 (not correct sig figs) 11.2 x 10 5 (not correct sci not.) 1.12 x 10 6

Slide 21

Multiplying/Dividing in Sci. Notation Multiplying and Dividing: EX: 7.2 x 10 2 x 4.2 x 10 3 30.24 x 10 5 (not correct sig figs) 30. x 10 5 (not correct sci. not.) 3.0 x 10 6

Slide 22

International System of Measurement Internationally used system of measurement known as the Metric System

Slide 23

Benefits of Using the Metric System Scientist all over the world use this system. They can share and understand each others work. Based on multiples of ten. Makes for easier conversions.

Slide 24

SI Base units

Slide 25

Volume The amount of space an object takes up. Base unit is cm 3

Slide 26

Mass The amount of matter in an object. Base unit is the kg because the gram is too small.

Slide 27

Weight The pull gravity has on the mass of an object.

Slide 28

Fluid Volume When dealing with a fluid (gas or liquid) the most commonly used unit is the liter (L) 1ml = 1cm 3

Slide 29

SI Prefixes
