Hello Mrs. Chamberlain, I need your help! I do not know what time school starts tomorrow. Thank you.

Challenge The number 602200000000000000000000 is used so frequently in chemistry that it has its own name; Avogadro’s number. What would be a better way of writing it?

Scientific Notation To write a number in

scientific notation:

1. Move the decimal so that the number is between 1 and 10.

2. The exponent is the number of tens places you moved the decimal

3. Moving the decimal right = - exponent Moving the decimal left = + exponent

Examples

65000 m = 0.0000156 s =

0.24 m/s = 6.7 mm =

6.5 x 104 m

1.56 x 10-5 s2.4 x 10-1 m/s

6.7 x 100 mm

To Write a number in Standard Form

Change it from scientific notation to a standard number by moving the decimal.

Example1.4 x 106 = 1,400,0002.6 x 10-4 = 0.00026

Adding & Subtracting

Change the numbers to the same exponent.

Add or subtract the numbers

Example: 4.1 x 106 + 8.5 x 107

0.41 x 107 + 8.5 x 107 = 8.91 x 107

Multiplication Multiply the numbers Add the exponents

Example: (4 x 106)(2 x 108) 8 x 1014

Division Divide the numbers Subtract the exponents

Example: (9 x 107)/(3 x 104) 3 x 103

Try It Out!

1. 3.5 x 104 + 5.1 x 105

2. (5.7 x 108)(3.5 x 106)3. (6.9 x 106)/(4.5 x 103)

Accuracy & Precision

Accuracy – a measure of how close a measured value is to the actual value

Example: If a weight is labeled 5 g and a balance reads 5 g when you place it on it, the balance is accurate.

Accuracy & Precision

Precision – a measure of the reproducibility of a measurement.

It is how close a series of measurements are to one another.

Example – If I find the mass of a 5g weight on a balance 3 times and I get 4.99g each time it is precise.

Accuracy & Precision

High precision is denoted by a large number of significant figures (decimal places).

Typically, high quality instruments measure things with high precision and accuracy.

That’s why a lab balance costs $300 + and your bathroom scaled costs $8.

Percent Error

Percent Error = |experimental - actual| actual value

Example Working in the laboratory, a student finds

the density of a piece of pure aluminum to be 2.85 g/cm3.  The accepted value for the density of aluminum is 2.699 g/cm3.  What is the student's percent error?

Percent Error = |2.85 – 2.699| 2.699

Try It Out A student takes an object with an accepted

mass of 200.00 grams and masses it on his own balance.  He records the mass of the object as 196.5 g.   What is his percent error?

Intro to Units & Sig Figs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQpQ0hxVNTg&feature=share&list=UUX6b17PVsYBQ0ip5gyeme-Q

Units in Chemistry

When you add or subtract two numbers, they must have the same units.

The answer then has those units as well.

Example: 4 m + 12 m = 16 m

Units in Chemistry When you multiply, you also multiply

the units. Examples:

4 m x 5 m = 20 m2

2 g x 3 s = 6g·s When you divide, you also divide the

units. Examples:

4 m / 2 s = 2 m/s 8 g / 2 mL = 4g/mL

Challenge!

What does the word “significant” mean?

Significant Figures

The numbers that are known, plus a digit that is estimated

Why do we need significant figures?

Because we live in the real world! Although we can imagine finding a measurement to

perfect accuracy with some hypothetical instrument, we never actually do because real instruments aren’t infinitely accurate.

Because our instruments aren’t perfect, it’s important that we somehow indicate how good our instruments are to anybody looking at our data.

We do this by limiting the number of digits we write in a measured number to the significant figures.

An example… If I told you that I weigh 80.6388154

kilograms, you’d probably assume that I gave you all of those numbers after the decimal place because I weighed myself on a special scale that can measure to that precision.

You wouldn’t assume that I used my bathroom scale, because it would never give you a reading with that many digits (it’s not that precise).

Rounding Tips When rounding a large number, consider it in

terms of owing someone money. If I owed you $4567 and I want to round that

to 1 significant figure, you would not want me to round it to $5.

The correct way to round it would be $5000. And remember, a 5 or larger after the

place/digit you are rounding to means that you round up.

Rounding Round the following numbers so

that they have 3 significant figures:1. 1.36579 =2. 120 =3. 145,256,987 =4. 0.0001489651 =

To Multiply & Divide Sig Figs…

1. Count the number of sig figs in each number

2. Round the answer so that it has the same number of sig figs as the number in the problem with the fewest.

Example 1 16.19 g / 4.2 mL

= 3.8547619 g/mL 16.19 has 4 sig figs 4.2 has 2 sig figs, so the answer

should have 2 sig figs

3.9 g/mL

Example 2 9.3 m x 0.00167 m = 0.015531m2

9.3 m has 2 sig figs, 0.00167 has 3 sig figs

Therefore, the answer must have only 2 sig figs.

Conversion Factors

Definition: a ratio of equivalent units

It is always equal to 1 When multiplying by a conversion

factor, the numerical value is changed, but the actual size of the quantity remains the same

Conversion Factors When working with conversion

factors, we use the Factor-Label Method (dimensional analysis)

The factor is the number that explains the relationship between two things

The labels are its’ units

Examples

4 quarters = 1 1 dollar

OR 1 dollar = 1

4 quartersFactor

Label

Examples

12 months = 1

1 year 1 foot = 1

12 inches

Rules for using Conversion Factors

1. Always start by writing what you know from the problem.

2. Multiply by a conversion factor so that the units cancel out (same unit in numerator and denominator)

3. Continue converting until your answer is in the desired units.

Example 1 – your age in minutes

Checklist:

I started by writing what I knew

All units cancel

My answer is in minutes

Mrs. C’s top 4 reasons for NOT using the Factor-Label Method

1. You’re super-intelligent and enjoy solving relatively simple problems in the most complex manner.

2. You're tired of always getting the correct answers.

3. You’re artistic, and rather than using Mrs. C’s concrete-sequential method of solving problems you want to use your own random method such that you create abstract patterns and designs on paper that you might be able to sell as artwork.

Testimonials "I was a South High School student who dozed off

while Mrs. C taught us the Factor-Label method in chemistry. I never quite got the hang of it. It irritated me... all of those fractions. I never really liked fractions. Although my grades had been pretty high, I got a D in chemistry and subsequently did not take any more high school science classes. It was not long before I started on drugs, and then used crime to support my drug habit. I have recently learned the factor-label method and realize how simply it could have solved all of my problems. Alas, it is too late. I won't get out of prison until 2022 and even then, my self image is permanently damaged. I attribute all of my problems to my unwillingness to learn the factor-label method." -Jane

Testimonials "I thought I knew everything and that sports was the

only thing that mattered in high school. When Mrs. C taught our class the factor-label method, I didn't care about it at all. I was making plans for the weekend with my girlfriend who loved me because I was a running back and not because of chemistry. While other kids were home solving conversion problems, I was practicing making end sweeps. Then one day I was hit hard. Splat. My knee was gone. I was a total loser. My girl friend deserted me. My parents, who used to brag about my football stats, stopped loving me and started getting on my case about grades. I decided to throw myself into my school work. But I couldn't understand anything. I would get wrong answers all of the time. I now realize that my failure in school came from never having learned the factor-label method. I thought everyone else was smarter than me. After the constant humiliation of failing I finally gave up. I am worthless. I have no friends, no skills, no interests. I have now learned the factor-label method, but it is too late." -Bill
