  1. Chemistry Chapter 3 Scientific Measurement

  2. Qualitative Measurement • Gives results in a descriptive form • Nonnumeric

  3. Quantitative Measurement • Gives results in a definite form • Usually as numbers and units

  4. Scientific Notation • Shorthand way to express very large and very small numbers

  5. Example 3.6 x 104 = 3.6 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 36 000

  6. 0.0081 = 8.1 x 10-3

  7. Direction of decimal movement • To the left is +

  8. To the right is -

  9. Operations with numbers in scientific notation

  10. Multiplication • Multiply the numbers and then add the exponents

  11. Division • Divide the numbers and subtract the exponents

  12. Addition and subtraction • Exponent must be the same to proceed

  13. Must move the decimal appropriately and then adjust the exponent Then you can solve the problem

  14. Measured values only as reliable as the instrument used to take the measurement!

  15. Uncertainty in measurement • Accuracy • Measure of how close a measurement comes to the actual or true value

  16. Precision • Measure of how close a series of measurements are to one another

  17. Pg. 64 Dartboard example • In class: Pg. 97 #80

  18. Evaluating the accuracy of a measurement • Percent error • Percent error = [error] X 100 accepted value

  19. Error - the difference between the accepted value and the experimental value (absolute value)

  20. Experimental value – measured in the lab • Accepted value – correct value based on reliable references • Pg. 65 example

  21. Everyone understand so far? • Good!!!

  22. Significant figures in measurements (sig figs) • Rules page 66-67

  23. Sample problems Pg. 68

  24. Sig Figs in Calculations • Rules for rounding Pg. 68 • Page 69 Sample

  25. Solving problems with sig figs • Multiplying and dividing with sig figs • The answer you get must be rounded to the same number of sig figs as the measurement with the lowest number of sig figs (that you multiplied or divided)

  26. Example • Multiply 4.610 feet by 1.7 feet. Express your answer in correct sig figs • 4.610 x 1.7 = 7.837 • How do you round it? • 4.610 has 4 sig figs • 1.7 has 2 sig figs • Round answer to 2 sig figs • Answer = 7.8 square feet

  27. Adding and Subtracting with sig figs • When adding or subtracting measurements, the answer cannot have more certainly than the least certain measurement. • Answer must have the same number of sig figs to the right of the decimal point as the measurement with the fewest sig figs to the right of the decimal point

  28. Example • 4.271 grams (3 sig figs to the right of decimal) • 2 grams (0 sig figs to the right of decimal) • + 10.0 grams (1 sig fig to the right of decimal) • 16.271 grams  round 16 grams

  29. Handout practice – work with a partner! • Grab a calculator

  30. SI System of Units • Page 73 Units of measurement • Table 3.1

  31. Metric system established in France in 1790 • SI Adopted by international agreement in 1960

  32. Prefixes • Page 74 Table 3.2

  33. Length • SI unit - meter (m) • Pg. 74 Table 3.3

  34. Volume • Space occupied by any sample of matter • L x W x H • “Derived” unit • Pg. 75 Table 3.4

  35. Volume of a cube 1m on each side • SI unit = m3 • More common to use Liter (L) = dm3

  36. 1 Liter • the volume occupied by a cube 10 cm on each side

  37. 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm = 1000 cm3 1000 cm3 = 1 L

  38. 1 dm = 10 cm

  39. 1 L = 1 dm3

  40. 1 mL = 0.001 L • 1000 mL = 1 L • 1000 cm3 = 1000 mL = 1 L

  41. Volumes for solids, liquids, gases change with change in temperature

  42. Much more dramatic with gases • Measuring devices calibrated at 20oC • Room temperature

  43. Mass • Difference between mass and weight • SI unit = Kilogram (kg) • 1 g = 0.001 kg • 1000 g = 1 kg • Pg. 76 Table 3.5

  44. Will show on board something special about H2O

  45. Temperature Scales • Celsius • Kelvin Absolute zero

  46. Kelvin scale explanation

  47. Heat measurement • calorie • Joule • 1 cal = 4.184 J • 1J = 0.2390 cal
