of the universe and the changes they
undergo.

Measurement & Calculation
Qualitative
Quantitative
Overview:
• Deals with descriptions
• Data can be observed but not
measured
• Colors, textures, smells etc.
•Qualitative -----Quality
Overview:
• Deals with numbers
• Data which can be measured
• Length, Height, volume, weight, speed,
time, temp
• Quantitative-----Quantity
Example: Oil Painting
• Blue & green paint
• Gold frame
• Masterful brush strokes
Example: Oil Painting
• 10” x 14”
• surface area 140 in2
• Weight: 8.5 pounds
Measurement
• Quantitative observation.
• Has 2 parts – number and unit.
 Number tells comparison.
 Unit tells scale.
Measurement
Scientific Notation
• Technique used to express very large or very small numbers.
• Move the decimal so that one non zero integer is to left
• If you moved to the left then the exponent is positive (number is big)
• If you moved to the right then the exponent is negative (number is
small)
Scientific Notation
• Distance from the sun to the earth is
91,000,000 miles
91,000,000 =
9.1 x 107 mi
A carbon nanotube has a width of
.00000000705 m.
0.00000000705 =
7.05 x 10-9 m
Points to Remember
• If original number greater than 1, exponent
is positive
91,000,000 = 9.1 x 107 miles
• If original number is less than 1, the
exponent is negative
0.00000000705 = 7.05 x 10

Units of Measurement
•
Prefixes are used to change the size of the unit.
Volume
•
•
•
•
•
Measure of the amount of
3-D space occupied by a
substance.
SI unit = cubic meter (m3)
Commonly measure solid
volume in cm3.
1 mL = 1 cm3
1 L = 1 dm3
Uncertainty in Measurement
• The length of the pin occurs at about 2.85 cm.
 Certain digits: 2.85
 Uncertain digit: 2.85
Uncertainty in Measurement
Certain digits: 21. ml
Uncertain digit:
21.7 ml
Uncertainty in Measurement
1. Instruments are never completely free of flaws
2. Measuring always involves some estimation
Precision and Accuracy
Accuracy: agreement of a particular value with the accepted
value.
Precision: agreement among several measurements of the
same quantity (reproducibility).
SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
All digits known with certainty, along with the first
uncertain digit
The last digit of a measurement expression is
uncertain.
Significant Figures
Rules for counting Significant Figures:
1. Nonzero integers always count!
2. Zeroes (3 classes):
a. Leading zeroes do not count (place holders)
b. Captive zeroes do count
c. Trailing zeroes count if there is a decimal point
0.0065
4005
65.00
Leading!
Captive!
Trailing!
3. Exact numbers, have an infinite number of significant figures
because they are counts not measurements. Therefore, if a number is
exact, it DOES NOT affect the accuracy of a calculation nor the
precision of the expression
Ex. 9 pencils, 24 students, 1 ft = 12 in.
Let’s try it

Rounding Numbers
Perfectly Round!
Rules for Rounding
• 1. When the 1st digit after those you want to retain is 4 or
less, that digit and all others to the right are dropped
• 2. When the 1st digit after those you want to retain is 5 or
greater, that digit and all others to the right are dropped
and the last digit retained is increased by one
Examples
1. Keep 3 sig fig
*hint: count 3 then look to the right
105.29 = 105
2. Keep 4 sig fig
*count 4 then look to the right
10.87519 = 10.88
3. Keep 3 sig fig
*count 3 then look to the right
1067 = 1070
4. Keep 5 sig fig
*count 5 then look to the right
1042.567 = 1042.57
Significant Figures & Calculations
(2.5)
Rules for Significant Figures in calculations:
1. For multiplication or division: the answer is the same as the
LEAST precise number in the calculation.
67.64 grams x 43 grams =
4 Sig Figs
2 Sig Figs
2908.52 grams2
Answer must have 2 Sig Figs
Count from the left starting with
2
2908.52
grams
the first Integer
Use the first number past to
2
Answer
=
2900
grams
round (up if 5 or more)
Significant Figures & Calculations
Rules for Significant Figures in calculations:
2. For addition or subtraction: the answer has the same number of
decimal places as the least precise measurement in the calculation.
37.113 grams
115.02 grams
6.175 grams
158.308 grams
3 decimals
2 decimals
3 decimals
The answer MUST have only 2 decimal
places!
Count the two then use the one right
after to round. (up if 5 or more)
158.308 grams
Answer = 158.31 grams
Significant Figures & Calculations
(2.5)
Rules for Significant Figures in calculations:
3. Rounding: DO NOT round until all calculations are
completed. Use only the first number to the right of the
last significant figure.
How many Sig Figs?
1. 0.0050 L = 2
2. 0. 00012 kg = 2

Gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm3. A student
lab group determines its density to be 18.0 g/cm3.
What is the percent error of the students?
Experimental value – Accepted value x 100 = % Error
