Making Measurements
S
Day 1- Tuesday
Measurements in Life
S What are some examples of situations in your
life that require making measurements?
S Amount of time it takes to do something
S Body temperature when you’re sick
S Speed of a thrown baseball
S Distance between the line of scrimmage and
the goal
2 Types of Measurements
S There are 2 types of measurements that can be made:
S Qualitative
S Quantitative
S Qualitative: measurements that do NOT involve the
use of numbers and are concerned with characteristics
of an object.
S Quantitative: measurements that involve numbers and
must be determined with an apparatus of some sort.
Qualitative or Quantitative?
S It is hot outside.
Qualitative
S Yesterday I ran 3 miles.
Quantitative
S It was 102° outside this afternoon.
Quantitative
S The balloon was big and blue.
Qualitative
S The paper felt soft on my skin.
Qualitative
S I need 3.25mm of string for my project.
Quantitative
S I am 3 foot 4 inches tall.
Quantitative
S Wow you’re short!!
Qualitative
Don’t Forget…
S Why are units just as important in communicating a
quantitative measurement as the number is?
S A number without a unit is meaningless
S Ex: 35 °F is cold and 35 °C is hot
Accuracy vs Precision
S Accuracy: refers to how close a measured value is
to an accepted value
S Precision: refers to how close a series of
measurements are to one another

Percent Error
S Percent error is a way for scientists to express how far off a
lab value is from the commonly accepted value.
S The formula is:
S % Error = |Accepted value – Experimental Value| x 100 %
Accepted Value
Percent Error
S Example 1:
S Experimental Value = 1.24 g
S Accepted Value = 1.30 g
S % Error = |Accepted value – Experimental Value| x 100 %
Accepted Value
S % Error = |1.30 – 1.24| x 100 %

= 4.62 %

Day 3- Thursday
Why do we need common
units?
S It is important for scientists around the world to be able to
communicate with each other!
S If we all used a different set of units, communication would
be different if not impossible.
S Therefore...
International System of Units
S The common system of units scientists have devised in
order to communicate with each other even when they’re
from different places is called the Systemme Internationale
(International System in French) or SI.
S This system has seven base units that are based on an object
or event in the physical world.

Time
S The SI base unit for time is the second, s.
S How is this unit officially defined?
S The frequency of microwave radiation given off by a cesium-
133 atom is the physical standard used to establish the length
of a second.
S This is why atomic (cesium) clocks are more accurate than the
standard clocks and stopwatches we normally used to measure
time.
Length
S The SI base unit for length is the meter, m.
S How is this unit officially defined?
S
A meter is the distance that light travels through a vacuum in
1/299792458 of a second.
S If you need to measure length that is longer than this base
unit… you’d measure in kilometers (km).
S If you need to measure length that is a shorter distance than
the base unit… you’d measure in centimeters (cm) or
millimeters (mm).
Mass
S Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in a sample.
S The SI base unit for mass is the kilogram, kg.
S How is this officially defined?
S The kilogram is defined by a platinum-iridium metal cylinder
stored in Sevres, France. A copy is kept at the National
Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg,
Maryland.
Mass
S What units are you most
likely to use to measure
mass in lab?
S The masses measured in
lab are often much smaller
than a kg, for those cases
we use grams (g) or
milligrams (mg)
Temperature
S The SI base unit for temperature is the Kelvin, K.
S This scale was calibrated so that changing one unit on the
Kelvin scale is the same as changing a temperature by one
degree Celsius.
S Defining temperature points
S Celsius: 0° water freezes, 100° water boils
S Kelvin: 273 water freezes, 0 all motion stops
Temperature
S Why was the Kelvin scale invented/ why is it useful?
S We needed an “absolute zero scale” so that we could do calculations
without negative numbers.
S Convert between Kelvin and Celsius
S K = °C + 273
S °C = K – 273
S A third temperature scale that we will not use in the lab is
Fahrenheit.
S How do you convert between Celsius and this scale?
S °F = (1.8 x °C) + 32
S °C = (°F-32) / 1.8
History of Temperature
Lord Kelvin
Anders Celsius
Derived Units
S Not all quantities can be measured with base units.
S Example: the SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s).
S Notice that this includes 2 base units- the meter and the
second.
S A unit that is defined by a combination of base units is
called a derived unit.
Volume
S Volume is space occupied by an object.
S The derived SI unit for volume is the cubic meter, m3, which is
represented by a cube whose sides are all one meter in length.
S This unit is much larger than what will commonly be needed in the
lab so a more useful derived unit, the cubic centimeter, cm3 is used.
S The unit cm3 works well for solid objects with regular dimensions, but
not as well for liquids or for solids with irregular shapes. The metric
unit for volume is the Liter, L.
S What are the conversions between volume units?
S 1000m = 1 L; 1 cm3 = 1 mL; (memorize 1 cm3  1 mL)

Extra Dimensional Analysis
Dimensional Analysis
S Many problems in chemistry do not have a simple formula
that you can plug the data into and get the answer. Instead,
solving a chemistry problem requires planning, much like
taking a trip. You must determine where you are going
(what you are solving for) and how you are going to get
there (what do you need to know to solve the problem).
Dimensional Analysis
S In chemistry most data is in the form of a measurement. A
measure contains two parts - the number and the UNIT!
S Many problems involve converting measurements from one
unit (or dimension) to another. These units help you to plan
the solution to the problem you are trying to solve. The
technique of converting between units is called
DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS.
Dimensional Analysis
S When you use dimensional analysis to solve chemistry
problems you will keep track of the units involved in the
calculations you use. When you multiply or divide numbers
with units you also multiply or divide the units. You cancel
units the same way that you cancel the numerators and
denominators of fractions.
S A conversion factor is a relationship between different units
of measure.
Dimensional Analysis
S Give an example of a conversion factor and show 3 ways of
writing it.
S Inches and feet
S Minutes and seconds
Dimensional Analysis
1.
Write the given.
2.
Set up your conversion factor your units will cancel out.
3.
Multiply by factors on the top and divide by factors on the
bottom.
S Be sure your units are cancelling out and that the unit you’re
left with is the desired unit.
