What Is a Measurement?
Quantitative observation
Comparison to an agreed upon standard
Every measurement has a number and a unit
A Measurement
The unit tells you to what standard you are comparing your object.
The number tells you:1.What multiple of the standard the object
measures.
2. The uncertainty in the measurement.
Scientists have measured the average global temperature rise over the past century to be 0.6 °C
°C tells you that the temperature is being compared to the Celsius temperature scale.
0.6 tells you that:1. The average temperature rise is 0.6
times the standard unit of 1 degree Celsius.
2. The confidence in the measurement is such that we are certain the measurement is between 0.5 and 0.7 °C.
Scientific Notation
We should all be familiar with this but I just want to remind you of a few things!!!
S.N. is an easy way to express VERY large or VERY small numbers
Chemistry most of the time deals with extremely small number considering we talk about atoms!
3 parts to S.N.
1.2 X 10-9
How to Express a number in Scientific Notation
1. Move the decimal point to obtain a number between 1 and 10.
2. Write the result from Step 1 multiplied by 10 raised to the number of places you moved the decimal
** The exponent is POSITIVE if you moved the decimal to the LEFT
** The exponent if NEGATIVE if you moved the decimal to the RIGHT

Day Three
Metric System
Group of units used to make any kind of measurements
Best known for its simpleness Why is it so simple?
Used all around the world with scientists
The Standard Units Scientists generally report results in an
agreed upon International System. The SI System

Let’s Try A Few
125 cm = ____________ mm
0.2568 L = _________ mL
2.56 kg = ________ g
Factor LabelDimensional Analysis EASY way to convert from one unit to
another unit!!
WE will be doing this ALL YEAR long! So you better pay attention now!
UNITS ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
Units Always write every number with its
associated unit. Always include units in your calculations.
You can do the same kind of operations on units as you can with numbers.○ cm × cm = cm2
○ cm + cm = cm○ cm ÷ cm = 1
Using units as a guide to problem solving is called dimensional analysis.
Problem Solving and Dimensional Analysis
Many problems in chemistry involve using relationships to convert one unit of measurement to another.
Conversion factors are relationships between two units.May be exact or measured.
Conversion factors generated from equivalence statements.e.g., 1 inch = 2.54 cm can give or in1
cm54.2cm54.2
in1
Problem Solving and Dimensional Analysis, Continued
Arrange conversion factors so the starting unit cancels.Arrange conversion factor so the starting unit is on
the bottom of the conversion factor. May string conversion factors.
So we do not need to know every relationship, as long as we can find something else the starting and desired units are related to :
unit desired unit related
unit desired
unitstart
unit relatedunitstart
unit desired unitstart
unit desiredunitstart
Systematic Approach
1. Write down the given amount and unit.
2. Write down what you want to find and unit.
3. Write down needed conversion factors or equations.
Common Units and Their EquivalentsLength
1 kilometer (km) = 0.6214 mile (mi)1 meter (m) = 39.37 inches (in.)1 meter (m) = 1.094 yards (yd)
1 foot (ft) = 30.48 centimeters (cm)1 inch (in.) = 2.54 centimeters (cm) exactly
Common Units and Their Equivalents, Continued
Volume1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL)1 liter (L) = 1000 cubic centimeters (cm3)1 liter (L) = 1.057 quarts (qt)
1 U.S. gallon (gal) = 3.785 liters (L)
Mass1 kilogram (km) = 2.205 pounds (lb)
1 pound (lb) = 453.59 grams (g)1 ounce (oz) = 28.35 (g)
Lets take a look at one!
I drive 20 miles to school every day. I want to know how many kilometers I drive.
Lets Try a Few
125 lb = ________ kg
2.5 gallons = ________ L
3.1 km = _________ miles

Day Four
Exact Numbers vs. Measurements
Sometimes you can determine an exact value for a quality of an object.Often by counting.
○ Pennies in a pile.
Sometimes by definition○ 1 ounce is exactly 1/16th of 1 pound.
Whenever you use an instrument to compare a quality of an object to a standard, there is uncertainty in the comparison.
Reporting Measurements Measurements are written to indicate the
uncertainty in the measurement. The system of writing measurements we
use is called significant figures. When writing measurements, all the digits
written are known with certainty except the last one, which is an estimate.

Skillbuilder 2.3—Reporting the Right Number of Digits
A thermometer used to measure the temperature of a backyard hot tub is shown to the right. What is the temperature reading to the correct number of digits?
Reporting Numbers with Sig. Figs When we report numbers in this class
we need to make sure that we do not report them more specific than they really are. WHAT???
Volume of a box
Length = 7.12 cm
Width = 2.15 cm
Height = 2.15 cm
How do I know if a number is significant?
1. All NONZERO digits are significant
2. Zeros between two nonzero numbers are significant
3. Trailing zeros are significant
4. Leading zeros are NOT significant, they are only place holders
5. Zeros at the end of a number but before a decimal are NOT significant
Lets try a few
0.0035 1.080 2371 2.97 x 105
100000 0.500 58.31
Factor Label (Multi-step)
I went to the Yukon last summer and the speed limit sign said 105 km/hr. What was the speed limit in mi/hr?
If I drive a total of 50 miles a day and my car gets 49 miles/gallon. How much does it cost me a week to drive to work? Assuming price for gas is $2.50/gallon.

Density
Ratio of its mass to volume
“How much stuff is in a given space”
Differs from one substance to another
How do I calculate DENSITY?
What about the units?
I have a sample of platinum that has a mass of 5.84g and it displaces 0.556 cm3 of water. What is the density?
Lets Try a Few!
The gasoline in an automobile gas tank has a mass of 60.0 kg and a density of 0.752g /cm3. What is its volume in ml?
