Density Intro
Mass is measured in grams (g)
Volume is measure in milliliters (mL) or cm3
Density equation: [pic]
The density of water is 1.00 g/mL . Anything with a density greater than 1.00 g/mL will sink; if it’s lower, it will float.
Examples:
1. What is the density of 2.78 grams of a liquid that occupies 1.50 mL? Does it sink or float on water?
2. What is the density of 3.75 cm3 of a substance that has a mass of 3.13 g? Does it sink or float on water?
3. What is the mass of 125 mL of mercury that has a density of 13.6 g/cm3?
4. What volume would 45.7 g of a substance occupy that has a density of 0.897 g/mL?
Section 2.2 Scientific notation and dimensional analysis
Objectives:
o Express numbers in scientific notation
o Convert between units using dimensional analysis
1. Define Scientific Notation
2. Other information:
• This is a way of handling really big or really small numbers in calculators.
• Examples:
▪ 564 200 000 000 000 is equal to 5.642 x 1014
▪ 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 000 012 is equal to 1.2 x 10 -23
• Note that the 1st number must be between 1 and 10, but not include 10
• The exponent tells how many places to move the decimal
• A positive exponent is a big number; greater than ten
• A negative exponent is a small number; less than 1, but greater than zero.
• note: we often won’t use commas, just spacing
Convert each to scientific notation: Take each out of scientific notation:
1. 2400 1. 1.2 x 105
2. .000046 2. 6 x 10-8
3. 135990000 3. 5.89 x 10-1
4. 0.5 4. 3.06 x 100
5. 67 5. 2.689 x 102
6. 54000000000 6. 1.597 x 10-3
7. .00000000000086 7. 2.034 x 10 15
3. How do you add or subtract numbers in scientific notation?
Two ways:
a) Must be same exponent or b) take out of scientific notation
Examples:
1. (1.2 x 104 ) + (3.5 x 10 4) = 2. (1.5 x 104 )+ (2.6 x 103)
4. How do you multiply or divide in scientific notation?
a) Multiply or divide the coefficients then work with exponents
(when multiplying, add exponents; when dividing, subtract exponents)
Examples:
1. (1.2 x 104 ) x (3.5 x 10 -9) = 2. (1.5 x 104 ) ÷ (2.6 x 10-5)
Define Dimensional Analysis
Define Conversion Factor
Converting using Dimensional Analysis
1. Always write down the given value as a fraction ÷ one
2. Set up conversion factor(s)
a. Work first with units so that everything cancels to give just the unit you want
b. Make sure every numerator = every denominator
3. Do the math!!!
a. Multiply just like any fraction; multiply across all the numerators, and divide by any denominator(s)
4. Use as many significant digits in your answer as there are in the original problem.
Convert each:
1. 15 lbs to oz
2. 200. pts to gal
3. 7 in to ft
4. 7 in2 to ft2
5. 7 in3 to ft3
6. 25 miles/hour to ft/min
7. 34 kg to g
8. 25 g to mg
9. 250 mg to μg
10. 6.7 x 106 kL to ML
11. 1.21 GWatts to TWatts
12. 8.97 x 105 ng to pg
Section 2.3 Uncertainty in Data
Objectives:

2. Define precision
3. Define error and state its formula
4. Define percent error and state its formula
5. Do number 33 on page 49
6. Do numbers 93 & 94 on page 63
7. Define significant figures.
SIGNIFICANT DIGITS OR SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
• Defined as all the actually measured digits
• Includes all digits known with certainty, plus one uncertain digit (the estimated one) – All measurements include one uncertain digit! (the last digit!)
• Ex: 134.76 lbs has ________ significant figures. The last digit ____ is estimated and is still significant
• Rules to recognize sig figs
1. all nonzero digits are significant
• 456 meters has _________sig figs; the number ________ is estimated
2. Zeros in between other sig figs are significant [sandwich rule!]
• 30.52 grams has________ sig figs; the number _________ is estimated
3. Final zeros after the decimal and at the end of a measurement are significant
• 4.50 mL has ________ sig figs; the number _________ is estimated
• 603.030 mg has _________ sig figs; the number _______ is estimated
4. Leading zeros and placeholder zeros are not significant [placeholder zeros tell you how big or small a value is; they are the “10n” part of scientific notation.]
• 45,500 has ______ sig figs
• 0.0025 has ______sig figs
• 1.25 x 104 has ______ sig figs
• 1.10 x 10-6 has _______sig figs
• How to make a nonsignificant zero significant: For example, if you have the measurement 250 pounds and want to show that the last zero is significant.
a) Put in a deliberate decimal:
• 250 pounds has ____ sig figs
• 250. pounds has ____ sig figs
b) Put value in scientific notation (often used in your book)
• 2.50 x 102 pounds has _______ sig figs
c) Put a bar over the zero (rarely used anymore)
• 250 pounds has _____ sig figs
• Note: counting numbers have not been measured and have an infinite number of sig figs; that is, sig fig rules don’t apply!
• Ex: 45 cars or 50 people are counting numbers and have infinite sig figs
