I. Using Measurements
MEASUREMENT
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
B. Percent Error
Indicates accuracy of a measurement

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.

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

Counting Sig Figs
Count all numbers EXCEPT:
Leading zeros -- 0.0025
Trailing zeros without a decimal point -- 2,500
Captive zeros– 20004
Always count

Calculating with Sig Figs
Multiply/Divide - The # with the fewest sig figs determines the # of sig figs in the answer.

B. 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.
B. Converting SI Units with Dimensional Analysis
Convert 10 liters to centiliters. Identify starting and ending points Starting point 10 liters, ending point centiliters Draw a T chart, you can add boxes as you go Line up conversion factors Then cancel the unit top and bottom Multiply across, divide top by the bottom.
