CHEMISTRY
The science that deals with the
materials of the universe and the
changes that these materials
undergo
Wood burns
Plants grow
Iron rusts
Bread bakes
Human digestion
The Scientific Method
State the problem
Make observations
Form a hypothesis
Perform an experiment
Make observations
Develop a Law
Develop a theory
A summary of observed behavior
An explanation of behavior
Continue to experiment
Modify theory as needed
Important Terms
Matter
Mass
Amount of space an object occupies
Qualitative observations
Amount of matter in an object
The measure of the resistance of an object to a change
in its state of motion
Volume
Anything that has mass and volume
Observations not requiring measurements
Quantitative observations
Observations requiring measurements
Weight!?!
The
force that gravity exerts
In chem (or in AP) all our
measurements will be on earth
(we hope!) so weight & mass
are interchangeable.
Volume?

Uncertainty of Measurement
Gold
costs $5.75 for .01 g
Mass ring- 7.62 g
Dealer
says- 8 g
What’s the problem?
The
decimal places are
SIGNIFICANT!!
Numbers are significant
when…
1. They are NOT zero!
2. They are exact numbers
Conversions,
numbers
pi, counted
Numbers are significant
when…
Zeros
1. Captive zeros- YES
2. Leading zeros- NO
3. Trailing zeros- YES
Multiply and Divide
Number
of sig figs in
answer is same as
number with least
number of sig figs
Add and Subtract
Result
has same number
of decimal places as
number with least decimal
places in calculation
Number of Sig Figs?

Some Math…
2.002
X 3.42 X 5 =
703.2+34.223–21.45
34.2

= 716.0
X 25.3 + 1.332 = 866

Precision
Degree
of agreement
among several
measurements
Accuracy
Degree
of agreement
of a particular value
with the accepted
value
Error?? What error?
Random
Equal
low
error
chance of being high or
Systematic
Same
error
direction each time
