Common measurements taken in a laboratory and the metric
units used are:
1. mass
2. Volume
3. length
4. time
5. temperature
6. pressure
7. concentration
grams (g)
liters (L)
meters (m)
seconds (s or sec)
Celsius or Kelvin (˚C or K)
Atmospheres (atm)
Molarity (M)

Commonly used prefixes in the metric system are:
Greater than one:

one-trillionth
Commonly used by chemists is the Angstrom (Å) = 10-10 meter.
Prefixes
The prefix represents a numerical value
Substituting symbols for numbers
 1000 grams = 1 kilogram
kilo = 1000
1 x 1000 grams
 0.0000675 Liters = 67.5 microliters
micro = 10-6
67.5 x 10-6 liters
More In-depth Look at Measurements
1. What is a meter?


Almost the length of a yard (1.09 yd)
Meter stick vs yard stick
2. What is a gram?
Very small compared to the ounce or pound
Approx 28 grams/ounce and 454 grams/pound
 Units of grams and milligrams are used in the lab,
because kilograms is too large.


3
Weight vs Mass
Although mass and weight are used interchangeably,
they do have different meanings
Mass – is the measure of the total quantity of matter in an
object
Weight – is a measure of the force exerted on an object by
the pull of gravity.

e.g. A man on the moon would weigh less than on
earth, but he would still have the same mass.


The unit tells the type of measurement and how big or
small relative to the base unit.

What information is in the number?
Uncertainty in Measurements
What information is in the number?
 The magnitude of the value

magnitude is indicated in the digit value

How big or small compared to other values with the
same units
 The uncertainty of the measurement
 Where errors in measurements may arise.
5
Uncertainty in Measurements
What influences whether there is error in a
measurement?
Is a number considered
Exact number or Inexact number
Uncertainty in Measurements
 Exact number – a number whose value has __________________
associated with it – that it is known exactly.
 Occur in definitions (dozen = 12; 3 feet in a yard)
 Counting
 Simple fractions
 Inexact numbers – a number whose value has a ______________
_____________________ associated with it.
 Any time a measurement is made because it is impossible to make
an exact measurement
 Instrumentation limitations
 Examples of how uncertainty can occur



Flaws in measuring devices
Improper calibration
User skills
Uncertainty in Measurements
How do you know where that uncertainty or error is
in the number?
 The uncertainty is always in the last digit of the
measurement.
All digits that are recorded are known with
certainty except __________________________


based on the increments of the measuring device
6
Uncertainty in Measurements
(Sig figs) – all digits that are known with
certainty plus one digit that has uncertainty.
 Significant figures


The number of digits recorded when taking a
measurement defines the number of significant
figures.

Uncertainty in Measurements
 So the measurement taken with centimeter
incremental marks will have a different number of
sig figs than the measurement taken with
millimeter incremental marks.

Centimeter incremental marks = ___________________

Millimeter incremental marks = ____________________
Guidelines for determining Sig Figs
 If you are taking the measurement
 Taking measurements properly
 Recording measurements properly
7
What measurement would you record?
 17.6 mL not 17 mL or 17.60 mL
 Why?
 Lines are in 1 mL increments
 Known with certainty that the volume falls
between 17 and 18 mL
 Estimate where the volume is between 17 and 18
mL


Liquids at bottom of meniscus
LAST DIGIT REPORTED is the ESTIMATED
DIGIT
Guidelines for determining Sig Figs
What if someone else takes the measurement, how
will you know which digits are significant and
which ones are not?
 Not all estimated digits are after the decimal place
(tenths place, hundredths place).
 How do you know which are significant?????
8
For Example, what if the measurement was 200 mL?
 Which numbers are significant and which are
not???
 What were the incremental marks on the
graduated cylinder?

10 mL, 100 mL increments
 What do you do if you don’t know?
Guidelines for determining Sig Figs
Rules/Guidelines for significant figures
1.
In any measurement, all non-zero digits are
significant
2.
Zeros may or may not be included depending on
they way they are used
Guidelines for determining Sig Figs
If zeros are present in a measured number follow these rules
1. Leading Zeros (at the beginning of a number) are NOT significant
These are just place holders to keep the magnitude of the number
0.00286 = ______________
0.000000025 = ________________
2. Confined Zeros - zeros between non-zero digits are ALWAYS significant.
1.0587 = ________________
0.000504 = __________________
3. Trailing Zeros - If a decimal pt is present those at the end of the number ARE significant
98.00 = ________________
0.02040 = _____________________
4. Trailing Zeros - If the number LACKS a decimal pt, those at the end are NOT significant
These are just place holders to keep the magnitude of the number.
27,000,000 = ___________________
5010 = ______________________

Sig Figs and Mathematical Operations
Problems with calculators –
Calculators do not report the correct number of sig
figs. So you must decide.
 Too many digits
 Round to correct number of sig figs.
 Not enough digits (dropped zeroes)
 Make sure to record the correct number of sig figs.
Sig Figs and Mathematical Operations
Rounding Rules
 If the first digit being dropped is < 4 then just simply drop
that number and all digits following.

number and all digits following and the last retained digit
is increased by one.

Scientific Notation
 Scientific Notation – a shorthand method for writing numbers
containing a large number of zeros.

A very large or small number (with a lot of zeros) is expressed as the product
of a number between 1 and 10 and 10 raised to a power.
 Written with 2 terms

Coefficient
 a number between 1 and 10
 Written first

Exponent –
 10 raised to a power X.
 X can be a positive or a negative number.
 Always follows multiplication sign.
 Positive exponent is a number greater than 1
 Negative exponent is a number less than 1
Standard form = Coefficient x 10 x
Example = 6.836 x 10-6

Answer ________________
Scientific Notation &
Mathematical Operations
Addition/Subtraction
When adding or subtracting numbers in scientific notation,
numbers should be converted out of proper scientific
notation so that there is a common exponent. This allows
for the coefficients to be added.

Remember that when adding and subtracting, the decimal
must line up.
3.58 x 10-2 + 4.35 x 10-3 =
If doing this in decimal form, then
0.0358
+ 0.00435
0.04015 = ___________ _______________
18
Scientific Notation &
Mathematical Operations
 Numbers are not always this easy to work with.
 Find common exponent
3.58 x 10-2  35.8 x 10-3
35.8 x 10-3 + 4.35 x 10-3 = 40.15 x 10-3
Just like with fractions and a common denominator, the exponent stays
the same after adding the coefficients together.
Convert back into proper scientific notation
4.02 x 10-2
Scientific Notation &
Mathematical Operations
 The general rule when manipulating scientific notation
 If decimal is moving to the right, then the exponent gets
smaller.
 As the coefficient gets larger the exponent must get smaller
by the same amount.

If decimal is moving to the left, then the exponent gets
bigger.


As the coefficient gets smaller the exponent must get bigger

Conversion factors and Dimensional Analysis
 Conversion Factors – a ratio that specifies how one
unit of measure relates to another unit of measure.

This can be within the same system of units or
different system of units


Same system are defined and considered exact
numbers. (no sig figs)
Different system of units are experimentally
determined therefore, have error associated with it (sig
figs count)

Heat
Temperature Scales
What makes the temperature scales different?
 The amount of heat per incremental mark
 Fahrenheit has less heat/mark than Celsius
 Celsius and Kelvin have the same amount
 Kelvin is the absolute scale (no negative temperatures)
 The reference point on the scale
 Fahrenheit and Celsius use water
 0.00 Kelvin represents the temperature at which all
molecular motion stops.
