3. Units of Measurement and Their Abbreviations

4. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Useful relationships between units of volume include: 1 m 3 = 1000 L 1 L = 1000 mL 1 mL = 1 cm 3 1 L = 1.057 qt 946.3 mL= 1 qt Volume

5. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Scientific Notation Scientific notation is used to write very large or very small numbers such as the width of a human hair, 0.000008 m, which is also written as 8 × 10 −6 m the number of hairs on a human scalp,100000, which is also written as 1 × 10 5 hairs

6. A number written in scientific notation contains a coefficient and a power of ten. coefficient power unit of ten 1.5 × 10 2 m The coefficient is at least 1 but less than 10. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Writing Numbers in Scientific Notation

7. The number of spaces moved to obtain a coefficient between 1 and 10 is shown as a power of ten. 52 000. = 5.2 × 10 4 move decimal 4 spaces left 0.003 78 = 3.78 × 10 −3 move decimal 3 spaces right © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Writing Numbers in Scientific Notation

8. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 8 Measured Numbers A measuring tool is used to determine a quantity such as the length or the mass of an object provides numbers for a measurement called measured numbers Basic Chemistry Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

9. 9. l 2.... l.... l 3.... l.... l 4.. cm The markings on the meterstick at the end of the orange line are read as The first digit 2 plus the second digit 2.7 The last digit is obtained by estimating. The end of the line might be estimated between 2.7– 2.8 as half-way (0.05) or a little more (0.06), which gives a reported length of 2.75 cm or 2.76 cm. Reading a Meterstick Basic Chemistry Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

10. 10 Known + Estimated Digits In the length reported as 2.76 cm, the digits 2 and 7 are certain (known) the final digit 6 was estimated (uncertain) all three digits (2.76) are significant including the estimated digit Basic Chemistry Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

11. 11 Learning Check. l 8.... l.... l 9.... l.... l 10.. cm What is the length of the red line? 1) 9.0 cm 2) 9.03 cm 3) 9.04 cm Basic Chemistry Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

12. 12 Solution. l 8.... l.... l 9.... l.... l 10.. cm The length of the red line could be reported as 2) 9.03 cm or 3) 9.04 cm The estimated digit may be slightly different. Both readings are acceptable. Basic Chemistry Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

13. 13. l 3.... l.... l 4.... l.... l 5.. cm For this measurement, the first and second known digits are 4.5. Because the line ends on a mark, the estimated digit in the hundredths place is 0. This measurement is reported as 4.50 cm. Zero as a Measured Number Basic Chemistry Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

14. 14 Significant Figures in Measured Numbers Significant figures obtained from a measurement include all of the known digits plus the estimated digit. The number of significant figures reported in a measurement depends on the measuring tool. Basic Chemistry Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

33. Dimensional Analysis Is the chemist’s way of working chemistry problems that are mathematical in nature. Some memorization is vital to the method Learning the method saves time

34. Dimensional Analysis and Conversions Metric conversions are all based on factors of 10 and prefixes. Metric System: know the required prefixes, meanings and values for any base unit of measure You are asked to memorize one particular way Base Unit: gramAbbreviation: g 1 kg = 1000g 1 g = 10 dg = 100 cg = 1000 mg = 1x10 6 µg = 1x10 9 ng
