7 Units for Measuring Mass
Mass – amount of substance present. Does not change when going to the moon. Mass is measured on a pan balance. Weight – related to gravity. Your weight is about 1/6 on the moon and 2.36X on Jupiter. As gravity increases your weight increases. Pull of gravity on jet fighter planes – make your arms and legs very heavy and g-forces increase. Weight is measured on a scale. 1 kg = lb Timberlake, Chemistry 7th Edition, page 3

11 Scientific Notation: Powers of Ten
Rules for writing numbers in scientific notation: Write all significant figures but only the significant figures. Place the decimal point after the first digit, making the number have a value between 1 and 10. Use the correct power of ten to place the decimal point properly, as indicated below.         a)  Positive exponents push the decimal point to the right.  The number becomes larger.              It is multiplied by the power of 10.         b)  Negative exponents push the decimal point to the left.  The number becomes smaller.              It is divided by the power of 10.         c)  10o  =  1                     Examples:    3400  =  3.20 x 103                  =  1.20 x 10-2 Nice visual display of Powers of Ten (a view from outer space to the inside of an atom) viewed by powers of 10!

                                                                                                                                                       Precision Accuracy reproducibility check by repeating measurements poor precision results from poor technique correctness check by using a different method poor accuracy results from procedural or equipment flaws.

18 Types of errors Systematic Random Instrument not ‘zeroed’ properly
Reagents made at wrong concentration Random Temperature in room varies ‘wildly’ Person running test is not properly trained

19 Errors Systematic Random Errors in a single direction (high or low)
Can be corrected by proper calibration or running controls and blanks. Random Errors in any direction. Can’t be corrected. Can only be accounted for by using statistics. Systematic error is when you get the same mistake every time you perform a measurement, and random error is when the mistake varies randomly. It’s much easier to compensate for systematic error than for random error.

22 Standard Deviation The standard deviation, SD, is a precision estimate based on the area score:               where xi is the i-th measurement   x is the average measurement N is the number of measurements. One standard deviation away from the mean in either direction on the horizontal axis (the red area on the above graph) accounts for somewhere around 68 percent of the people in this group. Two standard deviations away from the mean (the red and green areas) account for roughly 95 percent of the people. And three standard deviations (the red, green and blue areas) account for about 99 percent of the people. The more practical way to compute it... In Microsoft Excel, type the following code into the cell where you want the Standard Deviation result, using the "unbiased," or "n-1" method: =STDEV(A1:Z99) (substitute the cell name of the first value in your dataset for A1, and the cell name of the last value for Z99.) y One standard deviation away from the mean in either direction on the horizontal axis (the red area on the graph) accounts for around 68 percent of the people in this group. Two standard deviations away from the mean (the red and green areas) account for roughly 95 percent of the people. Three standard deviations (the red, green and blue areas) account for about 99 percent of the people. x

26 Reporting Measurements
Using significant figures Report what is known with certainty Add ONE digit of uncertainty (estimation) By adding additional numbers to a measurement – you do not make it more precise. The instrument determines how precise it can make a measurement. Remember, you can only add ONE digit of uncertainty to a measurement. Davis, Metcalfe, Williams, Castka, Modern Chemistry, 1999, page 46

The instrument determines how precise it can make a measurement. Remember, you can only add ONE digit of uncertainty to a measurement. In applying the rules for significant figures, many students lose sight of the fact that the concept of significant figures comes from estimations in measurement. The last digit in a measurement is an estimation. How could the measurement be affected by the use of several different rulers to measure the red wire? (Different rulers could yield different readings depending on their precision.) Why is it important to use the same measuring instrument throughout an experiment? (Using the same instrument reduces the discrepancies due to manufacturing defects.) cm 1 2 3 4 5 3.0 cm Timberlake, Chemistry 7th Edition, page 7

31 Reading a Vernier A Vernier allows a precise reading of some value.
In the figure to the left, the Vernier moves up and down to measure a position on the scale. This could be part of a barometer which reads atmospheric pressure. The "pointer" is the line on the vernier labeled "0". Thus the measured position is almost exactly 756 in whatever units the scale is calibrated in. If you look closely you will see that the distance between the divisions on the vernier are not the same as the divisions on the scale. The 0 line on the vernier lines up at 756 on the scale, but the 10 line on the vernier lines up at 765 on the scale. Thus the distance between the divisions on the vernier are 90% of the distance between the divisions on the scale. 756

33 750 740 760 If we do another reading with the vernier at a different position, the pointer, the line marked 0, may not line up exactly with one of the lines on the scale. Here the "pointer" lines up at approximately on the scale. If you look you will see that only one line on the vernier lines up exactly with one of the lines on the scale, the 5 line. This means that our first guess was correct: the reading is 5 10 741.9 What is the reading now?

34 750 740 760 If we do another reading with the vernier at a different position, the pointer, the line marked 0, may not line up exactly with one of the lines on the scale. Here the "pointer" lines up at approximately on the scale. If you look you will see that only one line on the vernier lines up exactly with one of the lines on the scale, the 5 line. This means that our first guess was correct: the reading is 5 10 756.0 What is the reading now?

35 750 740 760 5 10 Here is a final example, with the vernier at yet another position. The pointer points to a value that is obviously greater than and also less than Looking for divisions on the vernier that match a division on the scale, the 8 line matches fairly closely. So the reading is about In fact, the 8 line on the vernier appears to be a little bit above the corresponding line on the scale. The 8 line on the vernier is clearly somewhat below the corresponding line of the scale. So with sharp eyes one might report this reading as ± 0.02. This "reading error" of ± 0.02 is probably the correct error of precision to specify for all measurements done with this apparatus.

54 Reviewing Concepts Measurement
Why do scientists use scientific notation? What system of units do scientists use for measurements? How does the precision of measurements affect the precision of scientific calculations? List the SI units for mass, length, and temperature. Prentice Hall Physical Science Concepts in Action (Wysession, Frank, Yancopoulos) 2004 pg 20 Why do scientists use scientific notation? Scientific notation makes very large or very small numbers easier to work with. What system of units do scientists use for measurements? Scientists use a set of measuring units called SI. How does the precision of measurements affect the precision of scientific calculations? The precision of a calculation is limited by the least precise measurement used in the calculation.

55 Rules for Counting Significant Figures
1. Nonzero integers always count as significant figures. 2. Zeros: There are three classes of zeroes. Leading zeroes precede all the nonzero digits and DO NOT count as significant figures. Example: has ____ significant figures. Captive zeroes are zeroes between nonzero numbers. These always count as significant figures. Example: has ____ significant figures. Trailing zeroes are zeroes at the right end of the number. Trailing zeroes are only significant if the number contains a decimal point. Example: x 102 has ____ significant figures. Trailing zeroes are not significant if the number does not contain a decimal point. Example: 100 has ____ significant figure. Exact numbers, which can arise from counting or definitions such as 1 in = 2.54 cm, never limit the number of significant figures in a calculation. 2 4 3 1 Ohn-Sabatello, Morlan, Knoespel, Fast Track to a 5 Preparing for the AP Chemistry Examination 2006, page 53

56 Significant figures: Rules for zeros
Leading zeros are not significant. Leading zero 0.421 – three significant figures Captive zeros are significant. Captive zero 4012 – four significant figures Trailing zeros are significant. Trailing zero 114.20 – five significant figures
