Lesson3 Measurements Continuation Part2

Object A - Mass = 150g, Volume = 100cm3 Object B - Mass = 200g, Volume = 150cm3 Density = Mass/Volume Object A - Density = 150g/100cm3 = 1.5g/cm3 Object B - Density = 200g/150cm3 = 1.33g/cm3 Object A is denser since it has a greater density value of 1.5g/cm3 compared to Object B which has a density of 1.33g/cm3.

Precision and Accuracy
● Precision is the consistency of a result. If you measure a
quantity several times and the values agrees closely with
one another, then your measurement is precise.;
however, if the values varied widely, then it is imprecise.
● Accuracy is determined when a certain quantitative
value is relatively close to the “true value”
Practice Exercise
Scientific Notation
● It is a simple way to write or keep track of very large or very small
numbers without having to deal with a lot of zeros.
● It provides a convenient way of recording results and doing
calculations.
Practice Exercise
Convert the Following into Scientific Notation. Use until 2 decimal places for your
answers

1. 0.012345698632
2. 1 230 945
3. 87 576 788 432 234 543
4. 0.0600789653
5. 11 987
Significant Figures
● Significant figures are the digits in any measurement that are
known certainty with an additional one digit which is uncertain.

Rules in Rounding Off

• Oftentimes, the answers to


computations contain too
many insignificant digits.
Hence it becomes necessary
to round off numbers to attain
the insignificant figures.
Rounding off, therefore, is the
process of removing,
insignificant digits from
calculated number
Rules in Rounding Off
The following rules should be applied to round off values to the
correct number of digits :

1.For a series of calculations, carry extra digits


through to the final result, then round off.
2.If the first digit to be deleted is
a) 5 or greater, the last retained figure is increased by one
b) 4 or less, the last retained figure is retained.
EXAMPLE #1
1.    4.87 m
       36.578 m
+      4. 34 m
         45. 788 m

Final answer: 45. 79 m


Rules for Significant Figures in Fundamental Operations
● Dimensional Analysis is a process in which a conversion factor
written in a form of ratio is used to change units given in the data to
the units desired.

The following are steps to be followed in doing dimensional


analysis :

a) Write the unknown quantity that is sought, including the units


b) Write all known conversion factors needed
c) Begin with what is known and then multiply it by the identified conversion factor,
cancelling similar units to get the unknown units .
DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS
Example: How many seconds are in one day?

24 hrs 60 min 60 s
= 86 400 s/day
1 day 1 hr 1 min
Practice Exercise   (Learning Task #2 A.)
Convert the following Problems

1. The lemon juice drink contains 500.0 mg of vitamin C. Express the


vitamin C content in grams.

2. A fitness drink measures 0.300 L. Express the volume in mL.

3. Calculate the number of centimeters in 53.5 inches.


Density Measurement
● Density measurement is one of the common
measurements done in the laboratory. It involves getting
Mass, Volume and Temperature of an Object.

A. Mass is the quantity of matter in the object. It is


determined by weighing the object, using balance. The SI
basic unit of mass is the Kilogram, but the gram is more
convenient to use.
Density Measurement

B. Volume is the amount of space occupied by a


substance. In liquids, the volume can be determined using a
graduated cylinder, while solids, the volume can be
determined by two methods.
Density Measurement
●  
Density Measurement
DENSITY is the ratio of the mass of an object to the volume
it occupies.
Practice Exercise
●  
EXAMPLE #1
Given: m = 250.0g , v = 157.3 cm3
Density?
D=m
       v 
D = 250.0g    = 1.58931.....g/cm3
    157.3 cm3
D = 1.6 g/cm3
      
Learning Task #2 B. 
Solve the Following Problems

3. The volume and the mass of two objects (A & B) have been obtained
in order to determine their densities, respectively. Identify which object
is denser.
