Scientific Measurement

Nature of Measurement Measurements are fundamental to the experimental sciences. Important to make measurements Important to decide whether a measurement is correct Measurement - quantitative observation consisting of 2 parts Part 1 - number Part 2 - scale (unit) Examples: 20 grams 6.63 x atoms

Precision & Accuracy Accuracy refers to the agreement of a particular value with the true value. Precision refers to the degree of agreement among several measurements made in the same manner. Neither accurate nor precise Precise but not accurate Precise AND accurate

Uncertainty in Measurement A measurement always has some degree of uncertainty. A digit that must be estimated is called uncertain.

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

Reading the Meniscus Always read volume from the bottom of the meniscus. The meniscus is the curved surface of a liquid in a narrow cylindrical container.

Measuring Volume Determine the volume contained in a graduated cylinder by reading the bottom of the meniscus at eye level. Read the volume using all certain digits and one uncertain digit. Certain digits are determined from the calibration marks on the cylinder. The uncertain digit (the last digit of the reading) is estimated.

Use the graduations to find all certain digits There are two unlabeled graduations below the meniscus, and each graduation represents 1 mL, so the certain digits of the reading are… 52 mL.

Estimate the uncertain digit and take a reading The meniscus is about eight tenths of the way to the next graduation, so the final digit in the reading is… The volume in the graduated cylinder is 0.8 mL 52.8 mL.

The cylinder contains: _ _. _ mL 760 Self Test Examine the meniscus below and determine the volume of liquid contained in the graduated cylinder.

The Thermometer oRead the scale on the thermometer at eye level. o Read the temperature by using all certain digits and one uncertain digit. o Certain digits are determined from the calibration marks on the thermometer. o The uncertain digit (the last digit of the reading) is estimated.

Do not allow the tip to touch the walls or the bottom of the flask. If the thermometer bulb touches the flask, the temperature of the glass will be measured instead of the temperature of the solution. Readings may be incorrect, particularly if the flask is on a hotplate or in an ice bath.

Reading the Thermometer Determine the readings as shown below on Celsius thermometers: _ _. _  C

Determining Mass 1. Place object on pan 2. Move riders along beam, starting with the largest, until the pointer is at the zero mark

Check to see that the balance scale is at zero
