V. Uncertainty in Measurement: (2.3)
A. Measurements are uncertain because:
1. Instruments are not free from __________________.
2. Measuring always involves some _____________________.
B. Estimating with a scale
1. Estimate ______ digit more than the instrument measures
2.  is used to show _____________________which is the last ____________________digit.
C. Precision: When the instrument gives you about the ____________ results under
similar conditions.
D. Accuracy: When the experimental value is close to the ____________ value. The____________
the increments of measurement an instrument has, the more accurate it can be.
E. An instrument is ________________ (numbers repeatable to a certain number of places) the
operator makes it _____________________ (close to the right answer by using it correctly).
Ex. Precise, Accurate, Both or Neither
(Accepted Value = 15g)
1. 200g, 1g, 40g _____________________________
2. 78g, 80.g, 79g _____________________________
3. 16g, 14g, 17g _____________________________
F. Dartboard Analogy:
VI. Significant Digits
A. Significant Digits include ___________________ digits and ___________________ digits.
Use Atlantic-Pacific Rule for determining number of significant digits – see map handout.
B. Addition and Subtraction
1. Add or Subtract numbers.
2. Round answer to the least precise piece of equipment (look at __________ places.)
Ex.
951.0 g
1407
g
23.911g
158.18 g +
4
B. Multiplication and Division
1. Multiply or Divide numbers.
2. Round answer to the least _________________ of significant digits.
Ex. #1)
7.079 cm
=
0.535 cm
Ex. #2) V = L x W x H
V= 3.05 m x 2.10 m x 0.75 m =
Ex. #3) A = L x W
A= 3200 cm x 2500 cm =
VII. Important Formulas:
A. Percent Error: Comparing a measurement obtained experimentally with an _________________
value. It is always expressed as a __________________ %.
% error =
measured value - accepted value
x 100% =
accepted value
Ex.) If a student calculates the density of aluminum to be 2.5 g/cm3, and the accepted value is
2.702 g/cm3, what was her % error?
B. Density =
Mass
Volume
M=
V=
Ex.) If a metal block has a mass of 75.355 g and a volume of 22 cm3, what is the density?
Ex.) Determine the volume of 23.249 g of nail polish remover (acetone - density of 0.791 g/mL)

VIII. Dimensional Analysis (The Factor-Label Method):
A. Uses unit equalities to convert between ________________. A unit equality is an equation that
_______________ 2 units.
Ex.) 12in = 1 ft
60sec = 1 min
1kg = 1000 g
B. Unit equalities are used to write __________________ ________________ which are always
equal to “1.”
Ex)
1000 m
=1
1 km
or
1 km
=1
1000 m
C. The conversion factor is a definition, and therefore infinitely precise, so the number of significant
digits in the answer is equal to the number in the ___________which is the _____________ value.
Useful Chemistry Conversion Factors
1 in. = 2.54 cm
1 atm = 760 mm Hg
1 ft. = 12 in.
1 atm = 101,325 Pa
1 mile = 5280 ft.
1 cal. = 4.184 J
1 min. = 60 s
1 Cal = 1000 cal
1 hr. = 60 min.
1 gal. = 3.785 L
Ex. #1) How many seconds are in 22 hours?
Ex. #2) How many years are 3 x 108 seconds?
Ex. #3) If there are 9 dibs in 1 sob, 3 sobs in 1 tog, 1 tog in 6 pons, and 12 pons in 1 gob. How many
gobs are in 27 dibs?
Ex. #4) Calculate the number of feet in a 5.00 km race. (1 inch = 2.54 cm)
