8 September 2011 Objective: You will be able to: a. collect and analyze data to determine the thickness of aluminum foil. b. demonstrate mastery of course expectations. Do now: Pick up a syllabus. Do now starts Monday.

Agenda I. Do Now II. Collect data for Al foil lab III. Aggregate class data and Dixon’s Q test IV. Discussion of significant figures V. Course syllabus and expectations VI. Unit 1 review Homework: Materials, signed syallabus, $10 Check Unit 1 summer assignment answers on the blog.

Class Aggregate Data  When you finish, enter your data into the spreadsheet.  Then, we’ll look for outliers.

Dixon’s Q Test for Outliers x 2 = closest value to suspected x 1 = suspected outlier x N -x 1 = range of values

Table of Critical Values  Discard if Q exp > Q crit

Expectations   Website: (for assignment sheets, some problem set answers, etc.)  Office hours: Tuesdays 3:30-4:30 pm and by appointment (before and after school) in Room 203  Office: Room 204

Materials  Three ring binder and loose leaf paper  Lab Notebook (available from Ms. Boiteau for $10)  Scientific calculator  Pens or Pencils  Chemistry Textbook

Chapter 1: Review  You are responsible for non-problem- solving concepts outlined in your chapter 1 notes

Converting between orders of magnitude Example 1: Express mL in liters. Example 2: Express grams in milligrams.

Volume  1 mL=1 cm 3 Example  The density of mercury, the only metal that is liquid at room temperature, is 13.6 g/mL. Calculate the mass of 5.50 mL of the liquid.

Temperature Scales  K= o C  0 K is the temperature at which…  Don’t say “degrees Kelvin!”

 An engineer was responsible for calculating amount of water that overflowed from a dam. He measured all of the water runoff going into the reservoir (1.2 million cubic feet per year), the rainfall (860 cubic feet per year), and the capacity of the reservoir (3.8 million cubic feet). He did some fancy calculations. He reported to his boss that the overflow from the dam would be 350, cubic feet per year.  What’s wrong here?

Determining Number of Significant Figures A. Nonzero integers count as significant figures  Ex. Any number that is NOT zero (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

B. Zeros  Leading zeros that come before all the nonzero digits do NOT count as significant figures  Ex: has two sig. fig. The zeros are “leading” and do not count

 Captive zeros are between nonzero digits and DO count as sig. fig.  Ex: has four sig. fig. The zeros are captive and DO count. 10, ,000,000,000,000,567

 Trailing zeros are to the right end of the number and DO count as sig. fig. if the number contains a decimal point.  Ex.: 100 has only one sig. fig. because the trailing zeros DO NOT have a decimal point.  Example: 1.00 has three sig. fig. because the trailing zeros DO have a decimal point ,000,

C. Exact numbers  Any number found by counting has an infinite number of significant figures.  Ex: I have 3 apples. The 3 has an infinite number of significant figures. 50 people 100 baseballs

Significant Figures a. 5 cm b. 500 cm c. 5.0 g d mg e K f x10 10 atoms g. 505 desks h. 505, L

Addition/Subtraction Rules  Use the fewest number of digits to the right of the decimal place in the original numbers.  Ex =  Round to

Multiplication/Division Rules  Round to the fewest number of significant figures present in the original numbers  Ex: 2.8 x = Round to…  Ex: 6.85/ = Round to…

Exact Numbers  Have infinite significant figures  12 people, 5 atoms, etc.  1 inch = 2.54 cm  conversion factors are considered exact

Expressing Numerical Answers  EVERY TIME you write down a numerical answer in this class: a. Round it to the correct number of significant figures. b. Put it in scientific notation if at all possible. c. Include correct units.

Dimensional Analysis  How many seconds are there in 4.00 years?

 How many milliliters are equal to 3.4x10 3 liters?

Homework Quiz: 1. I am five and a half feet tall and weigh 140 lbs. Express my height in meters and my mass in kilograms. 1 lb. = g1 m = 3.28 feet 2. The following procedure was used to determine the volume of an irregularly-shaped vase: The vase was weighed dry, then filled with water. The mass of the empty vase is grams, and the full vase is grams. The density of water is g/cm 3. Calculate the volume of the vase in cm 3.
