Lecture 28/31/05 Review Appendix A
2
No quiz this Friday (Quiz 1 due by end of the day Wed.) Quizzes mostly on homework problems Don’t need to memorize constants/equations Do need to know units and prefixes Student solution manual at library Reading ahead is recommended
3
Physically separable into Chemically separable into Combine chemically to form
4
UNITS
5
PREFIXES
6
Significant Digits Rule 1 Count digits left to right starting from first non-zero digit Rule 2 (Addition/Subtraction) # decimal places in the answer equal to the # of decimal places in the number with the fewest places Rule 3 (Multiplication/Division) # sig. digits same as the number with the least number of sig. digits Rule 4 Round up the last sig. digit if following digit ≥ 5 Hauri Corollary No points off if reasonable
7
Scientific Notation Review p. 30 (K&T) 0.001 vs. 1 x 10 -3
8
Precision vs. Accuracy Precision: How close replicates are to each other. Precision shown by standard deviation Accuracy: How close measurements are to real answer.
10
What would good accuracy and poor precision look like?
11
Precision and Accuracy (cont.) Precision shown by standard deviation
12
Percent error For accuracy, what is ‘real’ answer? Error = experimental value – accepted value
13
Physical Properties Color Temperature State (solid, liquid, gas) Melting point Boiling Point Density Solubility Conductivity Malleability (How easy deformed) Ductility (how easy drawn into wire) Viscosity
14
Density Pay attention to units Can do dimensional analysis Oil vs. Water
15
Example problem: A piece of metal has a mass of 2.365 g. If the density of silver is 10.5 g/cm 3, what is the volume of the metal?
16
A piece of copper has a mass of 57.54 g. It is 9.36 cm long, 7.23 cm wide, and 0.95 mm thick. Calculate density (g/cm 3 ). Example Problem
17
How dense is a person?
