2
CHEMISTRY the study of matter
3
MATTER anything that has mass and has volume
4
2 Properties of Matter 1) Mass A measure of how difficult it is to change the object’s motion (b.k.a. inertia) Units on mass: kilograms, grams, (pounds)
5
Massive objects are harder to move. Thus they have more matter and more inertia Which has more inertia?
6
Weight vs. Mass Weight Mass Depends on gravity (changes depending on where you are) Stays the same EVERYWHERE!!!
7
2 Properties of Matter 2) Volume The amount of space an object occupies Units on volume: milliliters, liters, (cup, gallon)
8
An object’s volume can be found in 4 basic ways: 1.Multiplying dimensions together (lwh, πr 2 h,4/3 πr 3 ) Volume displacement Using a liquid measure (mL) As a derived unit (D=m/v)
9
Density The ratio of an object’s mass to its volume
10
Units: g/mL, g/cm 3
11
Anything with a density of GREATER than 1g/mL will sink in water. Anything with a density LESS than 1g/mL will float in water.
12
A block of wood has a mass of 28 grams. If its volume is 14 cm 3, what is the density of the wood? 2.0 g/cm 3
13
The density of gold is 19.3 g/mL. What is the mass of a piece of gold with a volume of 34.5 mL? 666 grams
14
Air has a density of 0.0013 g/mL. How much volume does 48,000 grams of air take up? 3.7 x 10 7 mL
15
PROBLEM What is the density of sand?
16
PROBLEM Are your 10 pennies made before 1982 or after 1982?
17
Accuracy How close a measurement is the correct or true measurement
18
Precision How close a set of measurements are to each other (regardless of how correct they are)
19
% Error A quantitative comparison between your value and an accepted value
20
Your value for water density = 0.88 Accepted value for water density = 1.0 Calculate the % error in your measurement!
