What is a Measurement?
 quantitative
observation
 comparison to an
agreed upon
standard
 every measurement
has a number and a
unit
A Measurement
 the unit tells you what standard you
are comparing your object to
 the number tells you
1. what multiple of the standard the
object measures
2. the uncertainty in the measurement
Scientists have measured the
average global temperature rise
over the past century to be 0.6°C
 °C tells you that the
temperature is being
compared to the Celsius
temperature scale
 0.6 tells you that
1. the average temperature rise is
0.6 times the standard unit
2. the uncertainty in the
measurement is such that we
know the measurement is
between 0.5 and 0.7°C
SCIENTIFIC
NOTATION
 Scientific Notation is a convenient way to express
very large or very small quantities.
 Its general form is
A x 10n
coefficient
n = exponent
1  A < 10

 The exponent is equal to the number of places that

Scientific Notation:
Writing Large and Small Numbers
 A positive exponent means 1 multiplied by 10 n times.
 A negative exponent (–n) means 1 divided by 10 n
times.
SCIENTIFIC
NOTATION
 For numbers smaller than 1, the decimal moves
to the left and the power becomes negative.

CALCULATIONS WITH
SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
 To perform multiplication or division with
scientific notation:
1. Change numbers to exponential form.
2. Multiply or divide coefficients.
3. Add exponents if multiplying, or subtract
exponents if dividing.
4. If needed, reconstruct answer in standard
exponential form.

ACCURACY & PRECISION
 Two types of error can affect measurements:
 Systematic errors: those errors that are controllable, and cause
measurements to be either higher or lower than the actual value.
 Random errors: those errors that are uncontrollable, and cause
measurements to be both higher and lower than the average
value.

ERROR IN
MEASUREMENTS
 Two kinds of numbers are used in science:
Counted or defined:
exact numbers; have no uncertainty
Measured:
are subject to error; have uncertainty
 Every measurement has uncertainty because of
instrument limitations and human error.

SIGNIFICANT
FIGURES & CALCULATIONS
 The results of a calculation cannot be more
precise than the least precise measurement.
 In multiplication or division, the answer must
contain the same number of significant figures
as in the measurement that has the least number
of significant figures.
 For addition and subtraction, the answer must
have the same number of decimal places as
there are in the measurement with the fewest
decimal places.

SI UNITS
 Measurements are made by scientists to
determine size, length and other properties of
matter.
 For measurements to be useful, a measurement
standard must be used.
 A standard is an exact quantity that people agree
to use for comparison.
 SI is the standard system of measurement used
worldwide by scientists.

Basic Units of Measurement
 The kilogram is a measure of mass, which
is different from weight.
 The mass of an object is a measure of
the quantity of matter within it.
 The weight of an object is a measure of
the gravitational pull on that matter.
 Consequently, weight depends on gravity
while mass does not.
Derived Units
 A derived unit is formed from other units.
 Many units of volume, a measure of
space, are derived units.
 Any unit of length, when cubed (raised to
the third power), becomes a unit of
volume.
 Cubic meters (m3), cubic centimeters
(cm3), and cubic millimeters (mm3) are
all units of volume.
DERIVED UNITS
 In addition to the base units, several derived
units are commonly used in SI system.

Prefix Multipliers
 Choose the prefix multiplier that is most
convenient for a particular
measurement.
 Pick a unit similar in size to (or smaller
than) the quantity you are measuring.
 A short chemical bond is about 1.2 ×
10–10 m. Which prefix multiplier should
you use?
 The most convenient one is probably the
picometer. Chemical bonds measure
about 120 pm.
CONVERSION
FACTORS
 Many problems in chemistry and related fields
require a change of units.
 Any unit can be converted into another by use of
the appropriate conversion factor.
 Any equality in units can be written inMetric-Metric
the form of a
Factor
fraction called a conversion factor. For example:

VOLUME
 Volume is the amount of space an object
occupies.
 Common units are cm3 or liter (L) and
milliliter (mL).
1 L = 1000 mL
1 mL = 1 cm3
51
VOLUME
 Volume of various regular shapes can be
calculated as follows:
Cube V = s x s x s
Cylinder V = π x r2 x h
Rect. V = l x w x h
Sphere V =4/3 πr3
