21
Precision and Accuracy

• accuracy is an indication of how close a
  measurement comes to the actual value of the
  quantity
• Percent error
• precision is an indication of how reproducible a
  measurement is

22
Accuracy

• inaccuracy in measurement caused by systematic
  errors
• errors caused by limitations in the instruments
  or techniques or experimental design
• we determine the accuracy of a measurement by
  evaluating how far it is from the actual value
• Use percent error to calculate how accurate you
  are

23
Precision

• imprecision in measurements is caused by random
  errors
• errors that result from random fluctuations
• we determine the precision of a set of
  measurements by evaluating how far they are from
  the actual value and each other called standard
  deviation.
• Do multiple trials to lesson error and improve
  precision.

24
Accuracy vs. Precision
25
Mass Volume

• mass and volume are extensive properties
• the value depends on the quantity of matter
• extensive properties cannot be used to identify
  what type of matter something is
• if you are given a large glass containing 100 g
  of a clear, colorless liquid and a small glass
  containing 25 g of a clear, colorless liquid -
  are both liquids the same stuff?

• Learning Target
• Know how to use significant figures in labs and
  in problems.
• Learning Outcome
• Complete significant figures problems.

29
Significant Figures

• the non-place-holding digits in a reported
  measurement are called significant figures
• significant figures tell us the range of values
  to expect for repeated measurements
• We use significant figures in science because
  measurement is always involved.

30
Counting Significant Figures

• All non-zero digits are significant
• 1.5 has 2 sig. figs.
• Interior zeros are significant
• 1.05 has 3 sig. figs.
• Leading zeros are NOT significant 0.001050 has 4
  sig. figs.

31
Counting Significant Figures

• Trailing zeros may or may not be significant 1)
  If a decimal is present, trailing zeros are
  significant
• 1.050 has 4 sig. figs.
• 2) If a decimal is NOT present, trailing zeros
  are NOT significant.
• if 150 has 2 sig. figs. then 1.5 x 102
• but if 150. has 3 sig. figs. then 1.50 x 102
• These are considered ambiguous and should be
  avoided by using scientific notation

32
Determining the Number of Significant Figures in
a Number
How many significant figures are in each of the
following? 0.04450 m 5.0003 km 1.000 105
s 0.00002 mm 10,000 m
4 sig. figs. the digits 4 and 5, and the
trailing 0
5 sig. figs. the digits 5 and 3, and the
interior 0s
4 sig. figs. the digit 1, and the trailing 0s
1 sig. figs. the digit 2, not the leading 0s
Ambiguous, generally assume 1 sig. fig.
33
Multiplication and Division with Significant
Figures

• when multiplying or dividing measurements with
  significant figures, the answer must reflect the
  fewest number of significant figures
• 1) 5.02 89,665 0.10
• 2) 5.892 6.10

34
Addition and Subtraction with Significant Figures

• when adding or subtracting measurements with
  significant figures, the answer should reflect
  the largest uncertainty
• 1) 5.74 0.823 2.651
• 2) 4.8 - 3.965

35
Rounding

• if the number after the place of the last
  significant figure is
• 0 to 4, round down
• drop all digits after the last sig. fig. and
  leave the last sig. fig. alone
• 5 to 9, round up
• drop all digits after the last sig. fig. and
  increase the last sig. fig. by one
• To avoid accumulating extra error from rounding,
  round only at the end, keeping track of the last
  sig. fig. for intermediate calculations

36
Rounding

• rounding to 2 significant figures
• 2.34 rounds to 2.3
• 2.37 rounds to 2.4
• 2.349865 rounds to 2.3

37
Rounding

• rounding to 2 significant figures
• 0.0234 rounds to 0.023
• 0.0237 rounds to 0.024

  math class?

44
Density

• Ratio of massvolume
• Solids g/cm3
• 1 cm3 1 mL
• Liquids g/mL
• Gases g/L
• Volume of a solid can be determined by water
  displacement Archimedes Principle

45
Density

• Density solids gt liquids gtgtgt gases
• except ice is less dense than liquid water!
• Heating an object generally causes it to expand,
  therefore the density changes with temperature

46

• Be able to apply dimensional analysis to
  convert from one unit of measure to another.
• Learning Outcome
• I will be able to complete single-step unit
  conversion problems.

49
Units

• Always include units in your calculations
• you can do the same kind of operations on units
  as you can with numbers
• cm cm cm2
• cm cm cm
• cm cm 1

50
Dimensional Analysis

• Using units as a guide to problem solving is
  called dimensional analysis
• This is the technique that we have learned to
  convert between two different units.

51
Problem Solving and Conversion Factors

• Conversion factors are relationships between two
  units
• May be exact or measured
• Conversion factors are generated from unit
  equalities
• e.g., 1 inch 2.54 cm can give
• or

52
Problem Solving and Dimensional Analysis

• Arrange conversion factors so given unit cancels
• Arrange conversion factor so given unit is on the
  bottom of the conversion factor
• May string conversion factors
• So we do not need to know every relationship, as
  long as we can find something else the given and
  desired units are related to

53

• Using a ruler from the front counter, measure the
  length, width and height of a Chemistry textbook
  to the nearest 1 cm.

60
Impossible Conversions

• Is it possible to find how many seconds in a
  kilogram?
• In order to do unit conversions they must be able
  to correspond to the same quantity.
• For example, kilograms and pounds are both units
  of mass.

61
Graphing in Science

• All graphing that is done in science must include
  the following
• A descriptive title
• X and Y axis labeled with units.
• The X axis is the manipulated variable and the
  Y- axis is the responding variable.
• A trend line (or line of best fit) to show the
  trend in the data that has been plotted.

Scientific Investigations

• Science is the methodical exploration of nature
  followed by a logical explanation of the
  observations.
• Scientific investigation entails
• planning an investigation
• carefully recording observations
• gathering data
• analyzing the results

65
The Scientific Method

• The scientific method is a systematic
  investigation of nature and requires proposing an
  explanation for the results of an experiment in
  the form of a general principle.
• The initial, tentative proposal of a scientific
  principle is called a hypothesis.
• After further investigation, the original
  hypothesis may be rejected, revised, or elevated
  to the status of a scientific principle.

66
Scientific Method
a test of a hypothesis or theory
a tentative explanation of a single or small
number of natural phenomena
a general explanation of natural phenomena
the careful noting and recording of natural
phenomena
a generally observed natural phenomenon
67
Conclusions Continued

• After sufficient evidence, a hypothesis becomes a
  scientific theory.
• A natural law is a measurable relationship.

68
Conclusions

• Scientists use the scientific method to
  investigate the world around them.
• Experiments lead to a hypothesis, which may lead
  to a scientific theory or a natural law.
• Chemistry is a central science with many
  branches.
• The impact of chemistry is felt in many aspects
  of our daily lives.
