3
Number vs. Quantity Quantity - number + unit UNITS MATTER!!
4
A. Accuracy vs. Precision Accuracy - how close a measurement is to the accepted value Precision - how close a series of measurements are to each other ACCURATE = CORRECT PRECISE = CONSISTENT
5
A. Accuracy vs. Precision
6
B. Percent Error Indicates accuracy of a measurement your value given value
7
B. Percent Error A student determines the density of a substance to be 1.40 g/mL. Find the % error if the accepted value of the density is 1.36 g/mL.
8
C. Significant Figures Indicate precision of a measurement. Recording Sig Figs Sig figs in a measurement include the known digits plus a final estimated digit 2.31 cm
9
C. Significant Figures Counting Sig Figs Digits from 1-9 are always significant Zeros between two other sig figs are always significant Zeros at the end of a number are significant when a decimal is present Count all numbers EXCEPT: Leading zeros -- 0.0025 Trailing zeros without a decimal point -- 2,500 5085 2.60 739

4. 0.080 3. 5,280 2. 402 1. 23.50 C. Significant Figures Counting Sig Fig Examples 1. 23.50 2. 402 3. 5,280 4. 0.080
11
C. Significant Figures Calculating with Sig Figs Multiply/Divide - The # with the fewest sig figs determines the # of sig figs in the answer (13.91g/cm 3 )(23.3cm 3 ) =
12
C. Significant Figures Calculating with Sig Figs (con’t) Add/Subtract – Answer can have as many # after the decimal as the # with the least amount of # to the right of the decimal 3.75 mL + 4.1 mL 7.85 mL 3.75 mL + 4.1 mL 7.85 mL
13
C. 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 “1” in any conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm
14
C. Significant Figures 5. (15.30 g) ÷ (6.4 mL) Practice Problems 6. 18.9g - 0.84 g

D. Scientific Notation A way to express any number as a number between 1 and 10 (coefficient) multiplied by 10 raised to a power (exponent) Number of carbon atoms in the Hope diamond 460,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 4.6 x 10 23 Mass of one carbon atom 0.00000000000000000000002 g 2 x 10 -23 g coefficient exponent
17
D. Scientific Notation Converting into Sci. 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 – all of them! 65,000 kg 6.5 × 10 4 kg
18
D. Scientific Notation 7. 2,400,000 g 8. 0.00256 kg 9. 7.0 10 -5 km 10.6.2 10 4 mm Practice Problems
19
D. Scientific Notation Calculating with Sci. Notation (5.44 × 10 7 g) ÷ (8.1 × 10 4 mol) = 5.44 EXP EE ÷ ÷ EXP EE ENTER EXE 78.1 4 = 671.6049383= 670 g/mol= 6.7 × 10 2 g/mol Type on your calculator:

Temperature Conversions CH. 3 - MEASUREMENT
23
A. Temperature Temperature measure of the average KE of the particles in a sample of matter
24
Convert these temperatures: 1)25 o C = ______________K 2)-15 o F = ______________ K 3)315K = ______________ o C 4)288K = ______________ o F A. Temperature

I II III Dimensional Analysis Conversion Factors Problems CH. 3 - MEASUREMENT
26
A. Problem-Solving Steps 1. Analyze 2. Plan 3. Compute 4. Evaluate
27
B. Dimensional Analysis Dimensional Analysis A tool often used in science for converting units within a measurement system Conversion Factor A numerical factor by which a quantity expressed in one system of units may be converted to another system
28
B. Dimensional Analysis The “Factor-Label” Method Units, or “labels” are canceled, or “factored” out
29
B. Dimensional Analysis Steps to solving problems: 1. Identify starting & ending units. 2. Line up conversion factors so units cancel. 3. Multiply all top numbers & divide by each bottom number. 4. Check units & answer.
30
Fractions in which the numerator and denominator are EQUAL quantities expressed in different units Example: 1 in. = 2.54 cm Factors: 1 in. and 2.54 cm 2.54 cm 1 in. C. Conversion Factors
31
Conversion factor cancel By using dimensional analysis / factor-label method, the UNITS ensure that you have the conversion right side up, and the UNITS are calculated as well as the numbers! How many minutes are in 2.5 hours? 2.5 hr 1 x xx x 60 min 1 hr = 150 min
32
Write conversion factors that relate each of the following pairs of units: 1. Liters and mL 2. Hours and minutes 3. Meters and kilometers C. Conversion Factors Learning Check:
33
D. SI Prefix Conversions 1.Memorize the following chart. (next slide) 2.Find the conversion factor(s). 3.Insert the conversion factor(s) to get to the correct units. 4.When converting to or from a base unit, there will only be one step. To convert to or from any other units, there will be two steps.
