Chapter 3 “Scientific Measurement”

Section 3.1 Measurements and Their Uncertainty

Measurements  We make measurements every day: buying products, sports activities, and cooking  Qualitative measurements are words, such as heavy or hot  Quantitative measurements involve numbers (quantities), and depend on: 1) The reliability of the measuring instrument 2) the care with which it is read – this is determined by YOU!  Scientific Notation  Coefficient raised to power of 10 (ex. 1.3 x 10 7 )  Review: Textbook pages R56 & R57

Accuracy, Precision, and Error  It is necessary to make good, reliable measurements in the lab  Accuracy – how close a measurement is to the true value  Precision – how close the measurements are to each other (reproducibility)

Three targets with three arrows each to shoot. Can you hit the bull's-eye? Both accurate and precise Precise but not accurate Neither accurate nor precise How do they compare? Can you define accuracy and precision?

Accuracy, Precision, and Error  Accepted value = the correct value based on reliable references (Density Table page 90)  Experimental value = the value measured in the lab

Accuracy, Precision, and Error  Error = accepted value – exp. value  Can be positive or negative  Percent error = the absolute value of the error divided by the accepted value, then multiplied by 100% | error | accepted value x 100% % error =

Why Is there Uncertainty? Measurements are performed with instruments, and no instrument can read to an infinite number of decimal places Which of the balances below has the greatest uncertainty in measurement?

Significant Figures in Measurements  Significant figures in a measurement include all of the digits that are known, plus one more digit that is estimated.  Measurements must be reported to the correct number of significant figures.

Significant figures (sig figs) How many numbers mean anything. When we measure something, we can (and do) always estimate between the smallest marks

Significant figures (sig figs) The better marks the better we can estimate. Scientist always understand that the last number measured is actually an estimate

Significant figures (sig figs) The measurements we write down tell us about the ruler we measure with The last digit is between the lines What is the smallest mark on the ruler that measures cm?

Significant figures (sig figs) What is the smallest mark on the ruler that measures 142 cm?

140 cm? Here there’s a problem, is the zero significant or not?

140 cm? They needed a set of rules to decide which zeroes count. All other numbers do count!

Rules for Counting Significant Figures Non-zeros always count as significant figures: 3456 has 4 significant figures

Zeros Leading zeroes do not count as significant figures: has 3 significant figures

Zeros Captive zeroes always count as significant figures: has 4 significant figures

Zeros Trailing zeros are significant only if the number contains a written decimal point: has 4 significant figures

Two special situations have an unlimited number of significant figures: 1.Counted items 23 people or 425 thumbtacks 2.Exactly defined quantities 60 minutes = 1 hour

Sig Fig Practice #1 How many significant figures in the following? m  5 sig figs kg  4 sig figs 100,890 L  5 sig figs 3.29 x 10 3 s  3 sig figs cm  2 sig figs 3,200,000 mL  2 sig figs 5 dogs  unlimited These all come from some measurements This is a counted value

Sig figs. How many sig figs in the following measurements? 458 g 4085 g 4850 g g g g l g l 4050 g l g l g l g

Significant Figures in Calculations  In general a calculated answer cannot be more precise than the least precise measurement from which it was calculated.  Ever heard that a chain is only as strong as the weakest link?  Sometimes, calculated values need to be rounded off.

Rounding rules Look at the number behind the one you’re rounding. If it is 0 to 4 don’t change it. If it is 5 to 9 make it one bigger. Round to four sig figs. to three sig figs. to two sig figs. to one sig figs

- Page 69 Be sure to answer the question completely!

Rounding Calculated Answers  Addition and Subtraction  The answer should be rounded to the same number of decimal places as the least number of decimal places in the problem.

Rules for Significant Figures in Mathematical Operations Addition and Subtraction Addition and Subtraction- The # with the lowest decimal value determines the place of the last sig fig in the answer mL mL 7.85 mL 224 g g 354 g  7.9 mL  350 g 3.75 mL mL 7.85 mL 224 g g 354 g

Rounding Calculated Answers  Multiplication and Division  Round the answer to the same number of significant figures as the least number of significant figures in the problem.

Rules for Significant Figures in Mathematical Operations Multiplication and Division: # sig figs in the result equals the number in the least precise measurement used in the calculation x 2.0 =  13 (2 sig figs)

Section 3.2 The International System of Units

International System of Units  Measurements depend upon units that serve as reference standards  The standards of measurement used in science are those of the Metric System

International System of Units  Metric system is now revised and named as the International System of Units (SI), as of 1960  It has simplicity, and is based on 10 or multiples of 10  7 base units, but only five commonly used in chemistry: meter, kilogram, kelvin, second, and mole.

The Fundamental SI Units (Le Système International, SI)

Nature of Measurements  Part 1 – number  Part 2 - scale (unit)  Examples:  20 grams  6.63 x Joule seconds Measurement - quantitative observation consisting of 2 parts:

International System of Units  Sometimes, non-SI units are used  Liter, Celsius, calorie  Some are derived units  They are made by joining other units  Speed = miles/hour (distance/time)  Density = grams/mL (mass/volume)

Length  In SI, the basic unit of length is the meter (m)  Length is the distance between two objects – measured with ruler  We make use of prefixes for units larger or smaller

SI Prefixes – Page 74 Common to Chemistry Prefix Unit Abbreviation MeaningExponent Kilo-k thousand 10 3 Deci-d tenth Centi-c hundredth Milli-m thousandth Micro-  millionth Nano-n billionth 10 -9

Volume  The space occupied by any sample of matter.  Calculated for a solid by multiplying the length x width x height; thus derived from units of length.  SI unit = cubic meter (m 3 )  Everyday unit = Liter (L), which is non-SI. (Note: 1mL = 1cm 3 )

Devices for Measuring Liquid Volume  Graduated cylinders  Pipets  Burets  Volumetric Flasks  Syringes

The Volume Changes!  Volumes of a solid, liquid, or gas will generally increase with temperature  Much more prominent for GASES  Therefore, measuring instruments are calibrated for a specific temperature, usually 20 o C, which is about room temperature

Units of Mass  Mass is a measure of the quantity of matter present  Weight is a force that measures the pull by gravity- it changes with location  Mass is constant, regardless of location

Working with Mass  The SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg), even though a more convenient everyday unit is the gram  Measuring instrument is the balance scale

Units of Temperature Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold an object is. Heat moves from the object at the higher temperature to the object at the lower temperature. We use two units of temperature: Celsius – named after Anders Celsius Kelvin – named after Lord Kelvin (Measured with a thermometer.)

Units of Temperature Celsius scale defined by two readily determined temperatures: Freezing point of water = 0 o C Boiling point of water = 100 o C Kelvin scale does not use the degree sign, but is just represented by K absolute zero = 0 K (thus no negative values) formula to convert: K = o C + 273

Units of Energy Energy is the capacity to do work, or to produce heat. Energy can also be measured, and two common units are: 1) Joule (J) = the SI unit of energy, named after James Prescott Joule 2) calorie (cal) = the heat needed to raise 1 gram of water by 1 o C

Units of Energy Conversions between joules and calories can be carried out by using the following relationship: 1 cal = 4.18 J (sometimes you will see 1 cal = J)

Section 3.3 Conversion Problems

Conversion factors A “ratio” of equivalent measurements Start with two things that are the same: one meter is one hundred centimeters write it as an equation 1 m = 100 cm We can divide on each side of the equation to come up with two ways of writing the number “1”

Conversion factors 100 cm1 m= 100 cm

Conversion factors 1 1 m= 100 cm

Conversion factors 1 1 m= 100 cm =1 m

Conversion factors 1 1 m= 100 cm = 1 m 1

Conversion factors A unique way of writing the number 1 In the same system they are defined quantities so they have an unlimited number of significant figures Equivalence statements always have this relationship: big # small unit = small # big unit 1000 mm = 1 m

Conversion factors Called conversion factors because they allow us to convert units. really just multiplying by one, in a creative way.

Dimensional Analysis The “Factor-Label” Method Units, or “labels” are canceled, or “factored” out

Dimensional Analysis Steps: 1. Identify starting & ending units. 2. Line up conversion factors so units cancel. 3. Multiply all top numbers & divide by each bottom number. 4. Check units & answer.

Dimensional Analysis Lining up conversion factors: 1 in = 2.54 cm 2.54 cm 1 in = 2.54 cm 1 in 1 in = 1 1 =

Section 3.4 Density

Density  Which is heavier- a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?  Most people will answer lead, but the weight is exactly the same  They are normally thinking about equal volumes of the two  The relationship here between mass and volume is called Density

Density  The formula for density is: mass volume Common units are: g/mL, or possibly g/cm 3, (or g/L for gas) Density is a physical property, and does not depend upon sample size Density =

- Page 90 Note temperature and density units

Density and Temperature  What happens to the density as the temperature of an object increases?  Mass remains the same  Most substances increase in volume as temperature increases  Thus, density generally decreases as the temperature increases

Density and Water  Water is an important exception to the previous statement.  Over certain temperatures, the volume of water increases as the temperature decreases (Do you want your water pipes to freeze in the winter?)  Does ice float in liquid water?  Why?

Density An object has a volume of 825 cm 3 and a density of 13.6 g/cm 3. Find its mass. GIVEN: V = 825 cm 3 D = 13.6 g/cm 3 M = ? WORK : M = DV M = (13.6 g/cm 3 )(825cm 3 ) M = 11,200 g

Density A liquid has a density of 0.87 g/mL. What volume is occupied by 25 g of the liquid? GIVEN: D = 0.87 g/mL V = ? M = 25 g WORK : V = M D V = 25 g 0.87 g/mL V = 29 mL
