What Is a Measurement? Quantitative = quantity and it must have a unit Comparison to an agreed upon standard. accuracy Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
3
Scientists have measured the average global temperature rise over the past century to be 0.6 °C
Quantity is 0.6 the unit is °C Comparison to an agreed upon standard is Celsius temperature scale. Accuracy: The confidence in the measurement is determined by looking at the last digit, here it is in the 1/10th’s position, so the certain is plus and minus 1/10 or between 0.5 and 0.7 °C.

Big and Small Numbers The sun’s diameter is 1,392,000,000 m. We commonly measure objects that are many times larger or smaller than our standard of comparison. Writing large numbers of zeros is tricky and confusing. Not to mention there’s the 8-digit limit of your calculator! An atom’s average diameter is m. Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
6
Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
Exponents When the exponent on 10 is positive, it means the number is that many powers of 10 larger. Sun’s diameter = x 109 m = 1,392,000,000 m. When the exponent on 10 is negative, it means the number is that many powers of 10 smaller. Average atom’s diameter = 3 x 10-10m = m Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2

Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
Scientific Notation To compare numbers written in scientific notation: First compare exponents on 10. If exponents are equal, then compare decimal numbers 1.23 x 10-8 Decimal part Exponent part Exponent 1.23 x 105 > 4.56 x 102 4.56 x 10-2 > 7.89 x 10-5 7.89 x 1010 > 1.23 x 1010 Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2

Numbers Exact Measured: Significant Figures Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
14
Exact Numbers vs. Measurements
Exact: Sometimes you can determine an exact value for a quality of an object. Often by counting. Pennies in a pile. Sometimes by definition 1 ounce is exactly 1/16th of 1 pound. Measured: Whenever you use an instrument to compare a quality of an object to a standard, there is uncertainty in the comparison. Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
15
Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
Exact Numbers Exact numbers have an unlimited number of significant figures. A number whose value is known with complete certainty is exact. From counting individual objects. From definitions. 1 cm is exactly equal to 0.01 m. $.05 = $ 12 inches = ft Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2

Length Mass Time Temperature Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
17
How do we make a Measurement
Measurements are written to indicate the uncertainty in the measurement. The system of writing measurements we use is called significant figures. When writing measurements, all the digits written are known with certainty except the last one, which is an estimate. 45.872 Certain Estimated 45.872 Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2

Counting Significant Figures
All non-zero digits are significant. 1.5 has 2 significant figures. Interior zeros are significant. 1.05 has 3 significant figures. Trailing zeros after a decimal point are significant. 1.050 has 4 significant figures. Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
26
Counting Significant Figures, Continued
Leading zeros are NOT significant. has 4 significant figures. 1.050 x 10-3 Zeros at the end of a number without a written decimal point are NOT significant If 150 has 2 significant figures, then 1.5 x 102, but if 150 has 3 significant figures, then 1.50 x 102. Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2

Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
Rounding When rounding to the correct number of significant figures, if the number after the place of the last significant figure is: 0 to 4, round down. Drop all digits after the last significant figure and leave the last significant figure alone. 5 to 9, round up. Drop all digits after the last significant figure and increase the last significant figure by one. Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
31
Examples of Rounding For example you want a 4 Sig Fig number
0 is dropped, it is <5 8 is dropped, it is >5; Note you must include the 0’s 5 is dropped it is = 5; note you need a 4 Sig Fig 780,582 1999.5 4965 780,600 2000.

Basic Units of Measure Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
41
Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
Units Units tell the standard quantity to which we are comparing the measured property. Without an associated unit, a measurement is without meaning. Scientists use a set of standard units for comparing all our measurements. So we can easily compare our results. Each of the units is defined as precisely as possible. Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
42

Volume 1 mL = 1 cm3

Units Always write every number with its associated unit. Always include units in your calculations. You can do the same kind of operations on units as you can with numbers. cm × cm = cm2 cm + cm = 2cm cm ÷ cm = 1 Using units as a guide to problem solving is called dimensional analysis. Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
50
Problem Solving and Dimensional Analysis, Continued
Arrange conversion factors so the starting unit cancels. Arrange conversion factor so the starting unit is on the bottom of the conversion factor. May string conversion factors. So we do not need to know every relationship, as long as we can find something else the starting and desired units are related to : Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
51
Problem Solving and Dimensional Analysis
Many problems in chemistry involve using relationships to convert one unit of measurement to another. Conversion factors are relationships between two units. May be exact or measured. Both parts of the conversion factor have the same number of significant figures. Conversion factors generated from equivalence statements. e.g., 1 inch = 2.54 cm can give or Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
52
Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
Systematic Approach 1. Write down the given amount and unit. 2. Write down what you want to find and unit. 3. Write down needed conversion factors or equations. a. Write down equivalence statements for each relationship. b. Change equivalence statements to conversion factors with starting unit on the bottom. Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
53
Systematic Approach, Continued
4. Design a solution map for the problem. Order conversions to cancel previous units or arrange equation so the find amount is isolated. 5. Apply the steps in the solution map. Check that units cancel properly. Multiply terms across the top and divide by each bottom term. 6. Determine the number of significant figures to report and round. 7. Check the answer to see if it is reasonable. Correct size and unit. Tro's "Introductory Chemistry", Chapter 2
