  12. Volume

  13. Numbers & MeasurementThe Importance of Units • Measurement - quantitative observation consisting of 2 parts • Part 1 - number • Part 2 - unit • Examples: • 20grams • 6.63 joules / second

  14. Scale: Size & Comparison • Macroscopic vs. Microscopic • Older IBM financed Video: Powers of Ten (Movie) • Powers of Ten (Images) How would you compare your lifespan?.. to that of a dog? ….to the age of the earth?…How about the age of mankind to that of all life?.. ..the age of industrialized mankind to the age of mankind?

  15. Graphic Comparisons

  16. QUESTION for Monday • Assume that the earth is 4.6 billion years old and that your Chem 120 class’s average lifespan will be 80 years. If the total age of the earth is represented by the face of a clock, how much time will 80 years be represented on the clock? • 1500 microseconds B) 0.75 milliseconds • C) 8 x 10 -4 seconds D) 7.5 megaseconds • E) 15 gigaseconds

  17. Powers of Ten:Scale

  18. Language describes scale (prefixes) Shorthand Prefixes Hella is a prefix associated with Northern California: UC Davis, UC Berkeley, LBL, LLNL & adopted by Google (2010) & Wolfram Alpha (2011) "hella-” = 10 27

  19. QUESTION An array of multilayer mirrors compresses ultrabroadband laser pulses (orange beam). The attosecond x-ray pulses allow the real-time observation of atomic-scale electron motion. The previous spectroscopic method was on a femtosecond scale, which was too slow to capture the movement. How many times faster is attosecond spectroscopy compared to femtosecond methods? Science, 317, 765-775, (2007) “The Electron Stopwatch” A. 10x B. 100x C. 1,000x D. 1,000,000x

  20. Answer An array of multilayer mirrors compresses ultrabroadband laser pulses (orange beam). The attosecond x-ray pulses allow the real-time observation of atomic-scale electron motion. The previous spectroscopic method was on a femtosecond scale, which was too slow to capture the movement. How many times faster is attosecond spectroscopy compared to femtosecond methods? Science, 317, 765-775, (2007) “The Electron Stopwatch” 10-15 / 10-18 = A. 10x B. 100x C. 1,000x D. 1,000,000x

  21. Commonly used prefixes in Chemistry These should be known from memory.

  22. QUESTION Select the correct relationship between these metric units of length or distance. A) 1 km = 100 m B) 1 mm = 10 cm C) 1 nm = 109 m D) 103 mm = 1 m

  23. Answer Select the correct relationship between these metric units of length or distance. A) 1 km = 100 m B) 1 mm = 10 cm C) 1 nm = 109 m D) 103 mm = 1 m

  24. QUESTION Coincidentally, a U.S. nickel has a mass of approximately 5 grams. If you had one dollar’s worth of nickels in your jean’s what would be the mass of the nickels in milligrams? 100 milligrams 50 milligrams 1,000 milligrams 100,000 milligrams 1000 milligrams (mg) = 1 gram (g)

  25. Answer Coincidentally, a U.S. nickel has a mass of approximately 5 grams. If you had one dollar’s worth of nickels in your jean’s what would be the mass of the nickels in milligrams? 100 milligrams 50 milligrams 1,000 milligrams 100,000 milligrams 20 nickels make up one dollar, then one dollar’s worth of nickels would have a mass of 5g x 20=100 grams. Next, the conversion between grams and milligrams is done by multiplying by 1,000 (because there are 1,000 milligrams per 1 gram.) Would the weight of the nickels pull your jean’s down off of your waist?

  26. Answer Coincidentally, a U.S. nickel has a mass of approximately 5 grams. If you had one dollar’s worth of nickels in your jean’s what would be the mass of the nickels in milligrams? 100 milligrams 50 milligrams 1,000 milligrams 100,000 milligrams 20 nickels make up one dollar, then one dollar’s worth of nickels would have a mass of 5g x 20=100 grams. Next, the conversion between grams and milligrams is done by multiplying by 1,000 (because there are 1,000 milligrams per 1 gram.) Would the weight of the nickels pull your jean’s down off of your waist? Likely not. 100g = 100g/454 g/lb equals 0.22lb ~ the weight of a quarter pounder

  27. Scientific Notation &Significant Digits Scientific Notation: A single digit followed by a decimal and a power of ten. Examples: 2,345 mL and 0.002340 g 2,345 mL = 2.345 x 10 3mL 0.002340 g = 2.340x 10 -3g

  28. Numbers • Expressing a number correctly is determined by the method used in the measurement! • How many numbers should I include? Significant Digits (Figures) Consider: the exactness of the measured value • Short Hand expression translates the number: Scientific Notation

  29. What is the length of the rod? Different measurement tools give different numbers: Which ruler is better? ? cm 4.2 - 4.3cm ? cm 4.24 - 4.25cm

  30. What is the diameter of a circle? All measuring devices are not the same, and the values (numbers) that come from them indicate their limitations. Is there a better instrument to use other than a ruler to measure the diameter of the sphere?

  31. What does each line represent? 1 mL What can be estimated? O.1 mL

  33. Temperature ScalesRelative to Water

  34. “Normal” Body Temperature

  35. QUESTION Dr. R. walks into class and claims, “It is very cold in here today. It feels like 242 K.” If that were the temperature, would you agree that you would feel cold? What would that be in Celsius degrees? I agree, that would be 31°C. I agree, that would be – 31°C. I do not agree, that would be 31°C. I do not agree, that would be 515°C.

  36. Answer Dr. R. walks into class and claims, “It is very cold in here today. It feels like 242 K.” If that were the temperature, would you agree that you would feel cold? What would that be in Celsius degrees? I agree, that would be 31°C. I agree, that would be – 31°C. I do not agree, that would be 31°C. I do not agree, that would be 515°C. The formula to use is K = °C + 273.15. Rearranged to yield K – 273.15 = °C.

  38. Reporting NumbersRules for Significant Digits (Figures) • Nonzero integersalways count as significant figures. • 3456 g has how many sig figs? • 4 sig figs. • Expressed in scientific notation? 3.456 x 10 3g

  39. Reporting NumbersRules for Significant (Digits) Figures • Exact numbers (unit, conversion or scale factors) can have an infinite number of significant figures. • 1 liter = 1,000.ml, exactly • 1 inch = 2.54cm, exactly

  40. Zeros • Leading zeros do not count as significant figures. • 0.0486 mL has how many sig figs? • 3 sig figs. • Number expressed in scientific notation? 4.86 x 10 -2 mL

  41. Zeros • Captive zeros always count as significant figures. • 16.07 cm has how many sig figs? • 4 sig figs. • Number expressed in scientific notation? 1.607 x 10 1cm

  42. Zeros • Trailing zerosare significant onlyif the number contains a decimal point. • 9.300 kg has how many sig figs? • 4 sig figs. • Number expressed in scientific notation? 9.300kg

  43. QUESTION • In which of these measured values are the zeros • not significant figures? • I) 0.0591 cm • II) 504 g • III) 2.70 m • IV) 5300 L • A) I and II B) II and III C) I and IV • D) I, III, and IV  E) II, III, and IV

  44. Answer • In which of these measured values are the zeros • not significant figures? • I) 0.0591 cm • II) 504 g • III) 2.70 m • IV) 5300 L • A) I and II B) II and III C) I and IV • D) I, III, and IV  E) II, III, and IV

  45. QUESTION • Which one of the following does NOT represent four significant digits? • 0.07100 mg • 0.7100 mg • 0.7010 mg • 0.0710 mg

  46. Answer • Which one of the following does NOT represent four significant digits? • 0.07100 mg • 0.7100 mg • 0.7010 mg • 0.0710 mg The zero in front of the decimal point is not a part of any measurement, the next zero is a place holder, and the last zero is part of the measurement and significant. Therefore 3 sig figs.

  47. Mathematics & Arithmetic • Relative to method(s) of measurement • Short Hand expression: Scientific Notation • Numbers : How many to include? Quantitative vs. Qualitative • Addition/Subtraction...... • Multiplication/Division..... • What is “significant”?.....Rounding Off • http://www.chemteam.info/SigFigs/SigFigsFable.html
