1 DO NOW…. Which liquid has the highest density?
least dense 1 < 3 < 5 < 2 < 4 most dense 4 2 3 1 5 Coussement, DeSchepper, et al. , Brain Strains Power Puzzles 2002, page 16

2 EXTENSIVE properties - does NOT depend on quantity of matter.
Density is an INTENSIVE property of matter. - does NOT depend on quantity of matter. Examples: color, melting point, boiling point, odor, density Styrofoam Brick Gold DIFFERENT THAN EXTENSIVE properties - depends on quantity of matter. - mass, volume, length

3 Density D = M V D M V ensity ass olume M = DV V = M D

The heaviest human brain ever recorded had a mass of 2.3kg. How many micrograms is that? 2.3 kg 1000 g 1 x 106 µg = 1 kg 1 g 2.3 x µg

5 The density of lead is 11.34 g/cm3. Find the density of lead in kg/m3

6 The average concentration of testosterone in the blood of a male in his twenties is 550 nanograms per deciliter. How many grams per cubic centimeter does this concentration represent? 550 ng g dL L mL = dL 1 x 10 9 ng L mL 1 cm3 5.5 x g cm3

7 Density of Some Common Substances

8 Consider Equal Masses Equal masses… …but unequal volumes.
The object with the larger volume (aluminum cube) has the density. gold aluminum smaller Christopherson Scales Made in Normal, Illinois USA Dorin, Demmin, Gabel, Chemistry The Study of Matter , 3rd Edition, 1990, page 71

9 Comparing Densities (g/cm3)
0.25 ice cork 0.9 Specific gravity A quantity that is very closely related to density, and which is frequently used in its place, is specific gravity. Specific gravity is the ratio of the mass of a material to that of an equal volume of water. Because the density of water is about 1.00 g mL–1, the specific gravity is numerically very close to that of the density, but being a ratio, it is dimensionless. The relationship of specific gravity and buoyancy. Aluminum has a specific gravity greater than that of water and does not float. Ice has a specific gravity slightly less than that of water and floats largely submerged. Cork has a low specific gravity and floats with most of its mass above water. The weight of the ice and cork push down, while a buoyant force lifts the objects upward. The aluminum’s weight is larger than the buoyant force of the water. Specific gravity is relative to water that is 1.0 g/mL. Note: 90% of the ice is submerged below the water (its specific gravity is 0.9) and 25% of the cork is below the water (its specific gravity is 0.25). water 1.0 aluminum 2.7 Jaffe, New World of Chemistry, 1955, page 66

10 Density Practice Problems
What is the density of carbon dioxide gas if g occupies a volume of 100. mL? D = M V 0.196 g 100. mL 1.96 x 10-3 g/mL

11 Density Practice Problems
An irregularly shaped stone has a volume of 5.0 mL. The density of the stone is 1.75 g/mL. What is the mass of this stone? M = D x V x 5.0 mL 1.75 g mL 8.8g

12 Density Practice Problems
A sample of iron has a mass of 94 g and a density of 7.8 g/cm3. What is the volume of the iron? V = M D 94 g 7.8 g cm3 12 cm3

13 How to use in conversion factors?
SI Prefixes mega- 1,000,000 kilo- 1,000 deci- 1/10 centi- 1/100 milli- 1/1,000 micro- 1/1,000,000 nano- 1/1,000,000,000 → 1Mg = 1,000,000 g → 1kg = 1,000 g → 10 dg = 1 g → 100 cg = 1 g → 1,000 mg = 1 g → 1 x 106 µg = 1 g → 1 x 109 ng = 1 g Also know… 1 mL = 1 cm3

The instrument determines how precise it can make a measurement. Remember, you can only add ONE digit of uncertainty to a measurement. In applying the rules for significant figures, many students lose sight of the fact that the concept of significant figures comes from estimations in measurement. The last digit in a measurement is an estimation. How could the measurement be affected by the use of several different rulers to measure the red wire? (Different rulers could yield different readings depending on their precision.) Why is it important to use the same measuring instrument throughout an experiment? (Using the same instrument reduces the discrepancies due to manufacturing defects.) cm 1 2 3 4 5 3.0 cm Timberlake, Chemistry 7th Edition, page 7

16 Scientific Notation Calculating with scientific notation
(8.1 × 104 mol) Type on your calculator: 5.44 7 8.1 4 EE ÷ EE = = = 670 g/mol = 6.7 × 102 g/mol Courtesy Christy Johannesson

17 Scientific Notation 65,000 kg  6.5 × 104 kg
Converting into scientific notation: Move decimal until there’s 1 digit to its left. Places moved = exponent. Large # (>1)  positive exponent Small # (<1)  negative exponent Only include sig. figs. Courtesy Christy Johannesson

19 Significant figures: Rules for zeros
Leading zeros are not significant. Leading zero 0.421 – three significant figures Captive zeros are significant. Captive zero 4012 – four significant figures Trailing zeros are significant, only IF there is a decimal point somewhere in the number. Trailing zero 114.20 – five significant figures 11,420 – four significant figures

20 Other Ways of Thinking About Significant Figures…
All digits are significant EXCEPT… Leading zeros Trailing zeros without a decimal point -- 2,500 Pacific Ocean = “Present” and Atlantic Ocean = “Absent” (ask about this one in class ) Courtesy Christy Johannesson

21 Significant Figures Calculating with Sig Figs (con’t)
Exact Numbers do not limit the # of sig figs in the answer. Counting numbers: 12 students Exact conversions: 1 m = 100 cm Courtesy Christy Johannesson

22 Significant Figures (13.91g/cm3)(23.3cm3) = 324.103g 324 g
Calculating with Sig Figs Multiply/Divide - The # with the fewest sig figs determines the # of sig figs in the answer. (13.91g/cm3)(23.3cm3) = g 3 SF 3 SF 4 SF 324 g Courtesy Christy Johannesson

23 Significant Figures 18.9 g - 0.84 g  18.1 g 18.06 g
Calculating with Sig Figs Add/Subtract - The # with the fewest places after the decimal point determines the # of sig figs in the answer. 18.9 g g  18.1 g 18.06 g Courtesy Christy Johannesson
