9 Sec. 1.3 Measurement in Science We use measurements in everyday life, such as walking 2.1 km to campus, carrying a backpack with a mass of 12 kg, and observing when the outside temperature has reached 22 o C. Notice that all measurements have 2 components A numerical value A unit written after the numerical value, to indicate the type of measurement made Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 9

10 Units of Measurement: The Metric and SI Systems The metric system and SI (Système International) are used for length, volume, mass, temperature, and time, in most of the world, and everywhere by scientists Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 10

11 Units in the Metric System In the metric and SI systems, one unit is used for each type of measurement. Measurement Metric Base Unit SI Unit Length meter (m) meter (m) Volume liter (L) cubic meter (m 3 ) Mass gram (g) kilogram (kg) Temperature Celsius ( C) Kelvin (K) Time second (s) second (s) 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 11

12 Length Measurement Length uses the unit meter (m) in both the metric and SI systems. uses centimeters (cm) for smaller units of length. The letter c in front of the m is called a metric prefix and denotes a specific power of Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 12

13 Converting Between Different Units of Length -- Inches, Centimeters, and Meters Useful relationships between units of length 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 13

14 Volume Measurement Volume is the space occupied by a substance. uses the unit liter (L) in the metric system. uses the unit cubic meter (m 3 ) in the SI system. is measured using a graduated cylinder in units of milliliters (ml) Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 14

15 Converting between Quarts, Liters, and Milliliters Useful relationships between units of volume 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 15

16 Mass Measurement The mass of an object is a measure of the quantity of material it contains. measured in grams (g) for small masses. is measured in kilograms (kg) in the SI system. The standard kilogram for the United States is stored at the National Institute of Standards and Technology Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 16

17 Converting Between Pounds, Grams, and Kilograms Useful relationships between units of mass 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 17

18 Temperature Measurement Temperature indicates how hot or cold a substance is, and is measured on the Celsius ( C) scale in the metric system, measured on the Kelvin (K) scale in the SI system, and 18 C or 64 F on this thermometer Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 18

19 Section 1.4 Scientific Notation Scientific Notation is used to write very large or very small numbers. is used to give the width of a human hair ( m) as 8 x 10-6 m. for a large number such as hairs is written as 1 x 10 5 hairs Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 19

20 Writing Numbers in Scientific Notation A number in scientific notation contains a coefficient between 1 and 10 and a power of 10 and a unit. When converting a number from standard notation to scientific notation, the decimal point is moved until there is only be one digit to the left of the decimal point For numbers larger than 1, the power of 10 is positive. For numbers less than 1, the power of 10 is negative L = 7.5 x = 7.5 x 10-3 L 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 20

21 Some Powers of Ten 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 21

22 Scientific Notation and Calculators You can enter a number in scientific notation on many calculators using the EE or EXP key. Use the (+/ ) key to change the value of the exponent from positive to negative Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 22

23 Scientific Notation and Calculators You can enter a number in scientific notation on many calculators using the EE or EXP key. Use the (+/ ) key to change the value of the exponent from positive to negative Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 23

24 Scientific Notation and Calculators When a calculator display appears in scientific notation, it is shown as a number between 1 and 10 followed by a space and the power of Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 24

25 Scientific Notation and Calculators To write this number in correct scientific notation, write the coefficient and use the power of 10 as an exponent Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 25

26 Converting Scientific Notation to a Standard Number When a number in scientific notation has a positive power of 10, move the decimal point to the right for the same number of places as the power of 10 and add placeholder zeros to give the additional decimal places needed Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 26

27 Converting Scientific Notation to a Standard Number When a number in scientific notation has a negative power of 10, move the decimal point to the left for the same number of places as the power of 10 and add placeholder zeros in front of the coefficient as needed Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 27

28 General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry Fourth Edition Karen Timberlake Chapter 1 Chemistry and Measurements 1.5 Measured Numbers and Significant Figures 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Lectures

29 Section 1.5 Measured Numbers and Significant Figures Representing Measured Numbers Measured numbers are numbers obtained by using measuring devices, such as a scale or analytical balance, a graduated cylinder, a clock or stopwatch, or a ruler 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 5 29

30 Writing down measured numbers Make sure you write down all numbers in the measurement and include the measurement unit The number of digits you record will depend on the sentsitivity of the measuring device being used For example, on a metric ruler with lines marking divisions of 0.1cm, write the length to 0.1 cm and estimate the value of the final number to 0.01 cm by visual inspection (you can estimate one decimal place beyond the smallest increments on the measuring device The length of the wood shown to the left would be written down as 4.55 cm 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 5 30

31 The Concept of Significant Figures When making a measurement, the number of digits written down include all the digits you are certain of plus the first estimated digit. A number is a significant figure if it is a nonzero number. (234 g, 3 SF) a zero between nonzero numbers. (50071 g, 5 SF) a zero at the end of a decimal number. (50.00 m, 4 SF) the coefficient of a number is written in scientific notation. (2.0 x 10 3 m, 2 SF) 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 5 31

32 The Atlantic-Pacific Rule For Significant Digits Imagine your number in the middle of the country Pacific Atlantic If a decimal point is present, start counting digits from the Pacific (left) side of the number, The first sig fig is the first nonzero digit, then any digit after that. e.g would have 4 sig figs 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 32

33 The Atlantic-Pacific Rule For Significant Digits Imagine your number in the middle of the country Pacific Atlantic If the decimal point is absent, start counting digits from the Atlantic (right) side, starting with the first non-zero digit. The first sig fig is the first nonzero digit, then any digit after that e.g. 31,400 ( 3 sig. figs.) 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 33

34 Scientific Notation and Significant Zeros When one or more zeros in a large number are significant, they are shown more clearly by writing the number in scientific notation. 5,000. kg x 10 3 kg If zeros are not significant, we use only the nonzero numbers in the coefficient. 5,000 kg 5 x 10 3 kg 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 5 34

35 Exact Numbers Exact numbers are those numbers obtained by counting items. those numbers in a definition comparing two units in the same measuring system. not measured and do not affect the number of significant figures in a calculated answer Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 5 35

36 General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry Fourth Edition Karen Timberlake Chapter 1 Chemistry and Measurements 1.6 Significant Figures in Calculations 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Lectures 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 5 36

37 Sec. 1.6 Mathematical Calculations and Significant Figures The number of significant figures in measured numbers are used to limit the number of significant figures in the final answer. Calculators do not provide the appropriate number of significant figures Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 6 37

38 Rounding Off To represent the appropriate number of significant figures, we use "rules for rounding." 1. If the first digit to be dropped is 4 or less, then it, and all following digits are simply dropped from the number. 2. If the first digit to be dropped is 5 or greater, then the last retained digit of the number is increased by Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 6 38

39 Rounding Off 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 6 39

40 Multiplication and Division When multiplying or dividing use the same number of significant figures (SF) as the measurement with the fewest significant figures, and the rounding rules to obtain the correct number of significant figures Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 5 40

41 Multiplication and Division When multiplying or dividing use the same number of significant figures (SF) as the measurement with the fewest significant figures, and the rounding rules to obtain the correct number of significant figures Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 5 41

42 Adding Significant Zeros Sometimes we add one or more significant zeros to the calculator display in order to obtain the correct number of significant figures needed. Example: Suppose the calculator display is 4, and you need 3 significant figures. 4 becomes SF 3 SF 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 5 42

43 Addition and Subtraction When adding or subtracting, use the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the fewest decimal places and the rounding rules to adjust the number of digits in the answer. decimal one decimal place two decimal places calculated answer final answer (with one place) 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 5 43

44 Sec. 1.7 Metric Prefixes and Equalities A prefix in front of a unit increases or decreases the size of that unit. makes units larger or smaller than the initial unit by one or more factors of 10. indicates a numerical value Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 5 44

45 Metric and SI Prefixes Prefixes that increase the size of the unit: 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 6 45

46 Metric and SI Prefixes Prefixes that decrease the size of the unit: 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 6 46

47 Daily Values for Selected Nutrients 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 6 47

48 Metric Equalities An equality states the same measurement in two different units. can be written using the relationships between two metric units. Example: 1 meter is the same as 100 cm and 1000 mm Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 5 48

49 Measuring Length The metric length of 1 meter is the same length as 10 dm, 100 cm, and 1000 mm. Q How many millimeters (mm) are in 1 centimeter (cm)? 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 5 49

50 Measuring Volume 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 6 50

51 Measuring Mass Several equalities can be written for mass in the metric (SI) system Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 6 51

52 Sec. 1.8 Solving Problems In Chemsitry Using Dimensional Analysis and Conversion Factors Dimensional Analysis is a problem-solving method used in science It depends on your ability to identify the numerical information given by the problem, and your ability to identify the numerical information you are supposed to find when solving the problem. The link between the known value (given) and the unkown value (find) is called a Converion Factor Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 1 52

53 Equalities Equalities use two different units to describe the same measured amount. are written for relationships between units of the metric system; between U.S. units or between metric and U.S. units. Examples: 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 8 53

54 Equalities and Conversion Factors Equalities are written as a fraction. used as conversion factors. can be represented with one equality in the numerator and the second equality in the denominator. Examples: 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 8 54

55 Common Equalities 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 8 55

56 Exact and Measured Numbers in Equalities Equalities between units of the same system are definitions with numbers that are exact. different systems (metric and U.S.) are measurements with numbers that have significant figures. The equality of 2.54 cm = 1 in. is an exception and considered to be exact Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 8 56

57 Metric Conversion Factors We can write equalities as conversion factors Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 8 57

58 Metric-US Conversion Factors Metric US conversion factors are written as a ratio with a numerator and denominator. Example: 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 8 58

59 Equalities on Food Labels The contents of packaged foods in the U.S. are listed in both metric and U.S. units. indicate the same amount of a substance in two different units Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 8 59

60 Percent as a Conversion Factor A percent factor uses a ratio of the parts to the whole in a fraction. uses the same units for the parts and whole. uses the value 100 for the whole. can be written as two factors. Example: A food contains 18% (by mass) fat Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 1, Section 8 60
