3 Final Procedures and Clean Up 1. All trash should be disposed of appropriately. All vials, beakers, evaporating dishes should be rinsed, cleaned, and dried. Your lab table should be clean and neat for the next class. All necessary materials should be present in the container on your lab table (if a material needs to be replenished, let the instructor know before you leave). 2. Report your results on the smart board so that the entire class data can be recorded. Change should be recorded as + (for a gain) or (for a loss). 3. Make a data table for your data for all six parts of the lab. Remember: When making data tables, the independent variable should be the first column and the dependent variable should be in the next few columns. A calculated column is often the last column. Column headers should include units. All tables need to be numbered with an appropriate title that appears above the table. 3

11 Chemistry: Measurement Notes Measurement is the collection of quantitative data. The proper handling and interpretation of measurements is essential in chemistry - and in any scientific endeavor. To use measurements correctly, you must recognize that measurements are not numbers. They always contain a unit and some inherent error. Le Systéme Internationale (SI) is a set of units and notations that are standard in science. Here are 4 important SI base units: Quantity SI Base Unit English Equivalent Length Meter (m) 1 m = in Mass Kilogram (kg) 1 kg = 2.2 lbs Time Second (s) Temperature Kelvin (K) F = 1.8( C) + 32 K = C Prefixes are used to adjust the size of base units: Prefix Symbol Size Factor Or nano- n m 10 9 nm 10 9 nm 1m 10 6 µm 1m micro- µ m 10 6 µm milli- m m 10 3 mm 10 3 mm 1m centi- c m 10 2 cm 10 2 cm 1m kilo- k m 1km 1Mm mega- M m 10 3 m 1km 10 6 m 1Mm You must know the following converions: Length Mass Volume 1 km = 1000 m 1 kg = 1000 g 1 kl = 1000 L 100 cm = 1 m 100 cg = 1 g 100 cl = 1 L 1000 mm = 1m 1000 mg = 1 g 1000 ml = 1 L 11

12 Calculations Involving Measurements: Arithmetic with Units Addition and Subtraction: units don t change. 2 kg + 3kg = 5 kg 10 m 1m = 9 m 4.5 g g = 5.7 g Multiplication and Division: units multiple and divide, too. 3m x 3m = 9m 2 5 g / 10 ml = 0.5 g/ml 6 cm 3 / 2 cm = 3cm 2 10 g / 2 g = 5 (units cancel!) 4 cm x 4 cm x 4 cm = 64 cm 3 45 m / 2 m = 22.5 m Converting Units (Dimensional Analysis): 1. Examine the information given, including any units of measurement. 2. Find appropriate conversion factors that can convert from the units given to the desired or requested units. 3. Start with the number and units given in the problem, such as 4.1 cm or 0.38 kg. 4. Align conversion factors so that the units cancel. Multiply your fact with the factor what you want what you have. 5. Multiply the numerators and divide the denominators. The starting units cancel out and you end up with the desired units. Example. Convert 4.1 cm to m. 0.38kg 103 g 1kg 106µg = µg 1g Note: Some conversions require more than one factor; e.g. we do not convert directly from kg to mg. So, the best approach is to convert from kg to g (the base unit) then from g to mg. Example. Convert 0.38 kg to μg. 0.38kg 103 g 1kg 106µg = µg 1g Remember, even though we write factors with x signs, we multiply by the numerators and divide by the denominators. Uncertainty in Measurements When recording a measurement, always read between the lines! - the digit read between the lines is always uncertain - convention: read to 1/10 of the distance between the smallest scale divisions Significant digits are all digits up to and including the first uncertain digit. - the more significant digits, the more reproducible the measurement is. - counts and defined numbers are exact- they have no uncertain digits! Precision of Calculated Results - calculated results are never more reliable than the measurements they are built from - multistep calculations: never round intermediate results! - sums and differences: round result to the same number of decimal places as the poorest measurement - products and quotients: round result to the same number of significant digits as the poorest measurement.
