Units of Measure & Conversions
2
Number vs. Quantity Quantity - number + unit UNITS MATTER!!

Dimensional Analysis The “Factor-Label” Method Units, or “labels” are canceled, or “factored” out
10
Dimensional Analysis Steps: 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.

Dimensional Analysis 5) Your European hairdresser wants to cut your hair 8.0 cm shorter. How many inches will he be cutting off? 8.0 cm1 in 2.54 cm = 3.2 in cmin
12
Dimensional Analysis 6) Lake Taylor football needs 550 cm for a 1 st down. How many yards is this? 550 cm 1 in 2.54 cm = 6.0 yd cmyd 1 ft 12 in 1 yd 3 ft
13
Dimensional Analysis 7) A piece of wire is 1.3 m long. How many 1.5-cm pieces can be cut from this wire? 1.3 m 100 cm 1 m = 86 pieces cmpieces 1 piece 1.5 cm
14
Warm-Up: Density What is the density of an object that has a mass of 8.76 g and a volume of 3.07 cm3? Find the density of a granite if a rectangular piece, 5.00 cm by 10.0 cm by 23.0 cm, has a mass of 3220 g. Iron has a density of 7.9 g/mL. What volume would 10.0 g of iron occupy? Determine the density of an object that has a mass of 50.50g and when placed in a graduated cylinder containing 50.0 mL of water causes the new volume to be 63.2 mL.
15
In your book read section 1.3 p22-26 Make notes on the different types of graphs and when we use them Do practice problem #1-3 on p24
16
Scientific Notation 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. 65,000 kg 6.5 × 10 4 kg
17
Scientific Notation 7. 2,400,000 g 8. 0.00256 kg 9.7 10 -5 km 10.6.2 10 4 mm Practice Problems 2.4 10 6 g 2.56 10 -3 kg 0.00007 km 62,000 mm

Scientific Notation Calculating with Scientific Notation (5.44 × 10 7 g) ÷ (8.1 × 10 4 mol) = 5.44 2nd EE ÷ ÷ 2nd EE ENTER 78.1 4 = 671.6049383= 670 g/mol= 6.7 × 10 2 g/mol Type on your calculator:

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
21
Percent Error Indicates accuracy of a measurement your value / actual accepted value / theoretical
22
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. % error = 2.9 %
23
Proportions Direct Proportion Inverse Proportion y x y x
24
Derived Units Combination of base units. Volume (m 3 or cm 3 ) length length length D = MVMV 1 cm 3 = 1 mL 1 dm 3 = 1 L Density (kg/m 3 or g/cm 3 ) mass per volume
25
Density Mass (g) Volume (cm 3 )
26
Density An object has a volume of 825 cm 3 and a density of 13.6 g/cm 3. Find its mass. GIVEN: V = 825 cm 3 D = 13.6 g/cm 3 M = ? WORK : M = DV M = (13.6 g/cm 3 )(825cm 3 ) M = 11,200 g
27
Density A liquid has a density of 0.87 g/mL. What volume is occupied by 25 g of the liquid? GIVEN: D = 0.87 g/mL V = ? M = 25 g WORK : V = M D V = 25 g 0.87 g/mL V = 29 mL
29
Significant Figures Indicate precision of a measurement. Recording Sig Figs Sig figs in a measurement include the known digits plus a final estimated digit 2.35 cm
30
Significant Figures Counting Sig Figs (pg. 57) Count all numbers EXCEPT: Leading zeros -- 0.0025 Trailing zeros without a decimal point -- 2,500
31
4. 0.080 3. 5,280 2. 402 1. 23.50 Significant Figures Counting Sig Fig Examples 1. 23.50 2. 402 3. 5,280 4. 0.080 4 sig figs 3 sig figs 2 sig figs
32
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 ) = 324.103g 324 g 4 SF3 SF
33
Significant Figures Calculating with Sig Figs (con’t) Add/Subtract - The # with the lowest decimal value determines the place of the last sig fig in the answer. 3.75 mL + 4.1 mL 7.85 mL 224 g + 130 g 354 g 7.9 mL 3.75 mL + 4.1 mL 7.85 mL Since no decimals, the number stays as is
34
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
35
Significant Figures 5. (15.30 g) ÷ (6.4 mL) Practice Problems = 2.390625 g/mL 18.1 g 6. 18.9g - 0.84 g 18.06 g 4 SF2 SF 2.4 g/mL 2 SF
