  5. Resting Potential

  6. Experimentation Measured Data Basic UNIT Derived Resting Potential = -65 mV Affected by Uncertainty • Accuracy • Precision NUMERICAL VALUE • Resolution • Noise

  7. The mass of an object weighed on a triple beam balance (precision + 0.1g) is found to be 23.6 g. This quantity contains 3 significant figures, i.e., three experimentally meaningful digits. If the same measurement is made with an analytical balance (precision + 0.0001g) , the mass might be 23.5820 g (6 sig. fig.) Significant Figures (Sig. Figs.)

  8. Evaluating Zero Zero is SIGNIFICANT when: Is between nonzero digits: 61.09 has four sig Figs. Appears at the end of a number that includes a decimal point 0.500 has three sig. Figs.; 1000. has four sig. Figs. Zero is NON SIGNIFICANT when: Appears before the first nonzero digit. 0.0025 has two sig. Figs. Leading Zeros are non significant Appears at the end of a number without a decimal point. 1,000 has one sig. Fig.; 590 has two sig. Figs.

  9. Exact Numbers Defined numbers, like 12 inches in a foot, 60 minutes in an hour, 1,000mL in one liter. Numbers that occur in counting operations. Exact numbers have an infinite number of sig. figs. Exact numbers do not limit the number of sig. figs. in a calculation.

  10. Scientific Notation Number written as a factor between 1 and 10 multiplied by 10 raised to a power. Useful to unequivocally designate the significant figures.

  11. Multiplication or Division The answer must contain as many significant figures as in the least precise quantity (measurement with least precision). What is the density of a piece of metal weighing 36.123 g with a volume of 13.4 mL? Drop these three digits Round off to 7 ANSWER:

  12. Addition or Subtraction Keep only as many digits after the decimal point as there are in the least precise quantity Ex. Add 1.223 g of sugar to 154.5 g of coffee: Total mass = 1.2 g + 154.5 g = 155.7 g

  13. Addition or Subtraction Note that the rule for addition and subtraction does not relate to significant figures. The number of significant figures often decreases upon subtraction. Mass beaker + sample = 52.169 g (5 sig. figs.) - Mass empty beaker = 52.120 g (5 sig. figs.) Mass sample = 0.049 g (2 sig figs)

  17. Length Base unit is the meter (m) 1790s: 10-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a meridian. 1889: Distance between two engraved lines on a Platinum-Iridium alloy bar maintained at 0°C in Sevres-France. 1960-1983: 1,650,763.73 wavelengths of the orange-red emision of 18Kr at standard conditions Since 1983: 1/299,792,458 of the distance traveled by light in 1 second through vacuum.

  18. Length Engineering dimensions 1 km = 103 m 1 in. = 2.54cm 1 cm = 10-2 m 1 mile = 1.61km 1 mm = 10-3 m 1 µm = 10-6 m Atomic dimensions 1 nm = 10-9 m 1 Å = 10-10 m

  19. 1 kg = 103 g; 1 mg = 10-3 g A mass of 1 kg has a terrestrial weight of 9.8 newtons (2.2 lbs) Depending on the precision required and the amount of material, different balances are used: The Quadruple Beam Balance (+ 10 mg) The Top Loading Balance (+ 1 mg). The Analytical Balance (+ 0.1 mg). MassBase unit is the kilogram (kg) International prototype: a platinum-Iridium cylinder maintained in Sevres-France.

  21. K = °C + 273.15 °F= (1.8 x °C) + 32 °C= (°F - 32) / 1.8 Ex. 2.20 Convert 110°F to °C and K °C= (68° – 32°) / 1.8 = 20°C K = 20 + 273 = 293 K Temperature Conversion

  25. Dimensional Analysis (pp. 23 - 24) • Read Problem. What needs to be solved for? Write it down • Tabulate data given. Label all factors with proper units • Determine principles involved and unit relationships • Set up the problem deciding for the proper conversion factor • Perform mathematical operations • Check if the answer is reasonable
