The Metric System The International System of Units Standards of measurement Base units (7) – see Table 1. 4 pg 14 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. MASS: LENGTH: TIME: COUNT, QUANTITY: TEMPERATURE: ELECTRIC CURRENT: LUMINOUS INSTENSITY:

The Metric System Derived Units: § AREA: § VOLUME: § ENERGY: § FORCE: § PRESSURE: § POWER: § VOLTAGE: § FREQUENCY: § ELECTRIC CHARGE:

Density Common ratio used in chemistry Physical property of a substance Solid – g/cm 3 Liquid – g/m. L Gas D= SI units: kg/m 3 – g/L Can change due to temperature and/or pressure changes

Density 1. Find the density of a piece of metal with a volume of 2. 7 cm 3 and a mass of 10. 8 g. 2. Determine the mass of an object with a density of 0. 24 g/cm 3 and a volume of 2 cm 3.

The Metric System Metric Prefixes – make base unit larger or smaller Table 1. 5 – pg 14 Based on 10 Math method vs. “Stairs”

Conversion Practice Convert a volume of 12 microliters into centiliters Express a distance of 15 meters in kilometers Convert 83 cm into meters Which is the longer amount of time, 1351 ps or 1. 2 ns? Convert 16 d. L into L

Uncertainty in Measurement Why are digits in measurements uncertain? 1. Instruments never completely free of flaws 2. Always involves estimation v Choose the right instrument for the job v May be estimated for you (electronic scales) v Scale is marked but you estimate the inbetween

Uncertainty in Measurement Precision: getting the same result again and again under same conditions Accuracy: close to accepted value

Significant Digits All digits known with certainty plus one final digit which is uncertain (or estimated) All non-zeros A zero is significant when : – It is A zero is not significant when: – It is

Significant Digits - PRACTICE How many significant digits? 1. 54. 23 2. 23. 00005 3. 0. 0004 4. 35000 5. 0. 000504 6. 45. 623200 7. 5, 000 8. 4, 000. 1

Significant Digits - Calculations Addition and Subtraction – Round answer to have final digit in the SAME PLACE as the last digit in the LEAST ACCURATE MEASUREMENT 1. 21 + 5. 002 + 10. = 34. 5 + 12. 45 + 23. 0505 = 186. 31 + 11. 1 = 12. 0231 + 3. 86 = 0. 100012 + 120. = 1200 + 12 + 15 + 0. 5 =

Significant Digits - Calculations Multiplication and Division – The answer has as many sig figs as the number with the fewest sig figs 14. 8 x 3. 1 = 18. 2 x 3. 0 = 52/1. 5 = 321. 868783 x 1 = 2400 x 2. 123 = 15000/12. 354 =

Scientific Notation Convenient way of writing very large or very small numbers and showing only significant figures Number between 1 & 10 with a power of ten 5120 becomes 5. 12 x 103 Move decimal point in original number to make number 1 -10 Move left = +; move right = -

Scientific Notation Practice 123, 000 = 0. 000045 = 23. 45 = 0. 000003 = 1, 000 =

Scientific Notation Math with: – Use the EE or EXP button on your calculator. – For example: (1. 25 x 105) (5. 25 x 102) Keystrokes are: Or:

Types of Measurements Mass – – Expressed in – Does Weight – – Expressed in same units –

Types of Measurements Volume – – Cubic – Many instruments to measure Temperature – – Kelvin – Degrees Celsius – Degress Farenheit

Conversion Factors Enable movement between metric system and “English” system See back cover of book and Appendix III Common conversions you should memorize – – – 1 inch = 2. 54 cm 1 mile = 1. 609 km 1 kg = 2. 20 pounds 1 m. L = 1 cm 3 0 K = -273. 15 0 C 0 F = 1. 8(0 C) + 32

Dimensional Analysis (Problem Solving) Remember: ALWAYS use UNITS OF MEASUREMENT in your work!!! A technique of converting between units – Same system (metrics) – Different systems (inches to meters) – Chemical equations…. later chapters…

Dimensional Analysis (Problem Solving) Conversion Factors: ratio derived from the equality between 2 different units 3 feet = 1 1 yard 1 dollar = 1 4 quarters CF can be written either way 1 minute = 1 60 seconds = 1 1 minute

Dimensional Analysis (Problem Solving) The “t” method unit given unit wanted = unit wanted unit given Conversion Factor Example: How many liters are in 125. 6 gallons?

Dimensional Analysis (Problem Solving) How many seconds are in 4. 15 hours? If a student needs 1. 5 m. L of water, how many cups does he need?
