What is Calibration?
The calibration of a measuring device is the distance between the two closest lineslines.

Calibration
If the calibration on a scale is 0.1g we can determine the mass of something to at least that level of accuracy.
For example 219.4g
But we can do better than that! We can also estimate one digit greater than that.
For example we could measure 219.43g.
The “3” is the estimated value. Note that Zero can be anestimated value as well as the numbers 1-9.

Now Let’s look at at a set of experimental B.P. Data collected by two students:
Student 1 Student 276.5 deg C 78.0 deg C76.1 78.476.6 77.976.9 78.2
76.5 AVG 78.1 AVG
The Accepted B.P. for this unk. is 77.2 deg C.
Which set of data is more precise & which setOf data is more accurate?
PERCENT ERRORPERCENT ERROR
12
The data for student 1 “looks” better but how much better was that data than student 2’s data?
Percent Error
To make this comparison we need to look at the % error for each student’s set of data
Formula for % ERROR:
Experimental Value – Accepted Value x 100 Accepted Value
13
Student 1: 76.5 - 77.2 x 100. = - 0.907% Error 77.2
Student 2: 78.1 - 77.2 x 100. = 1.17% Error 77.2
NOTE: ONLY THE SIZE OF THE ERROR ISIMPORTANT. IGNOR PLUS (+) AND MINUS (-) SIGNS.So which student has the more accurate data?
Yep … Student 1
Problem: If student 1’s Exp. Value was 76.5 and the Accepted valueIs 77.2 what is her experimental error?

Density• Density (d) is the ratio of the mass
(m) of a substance to its volume (V).
density = mass / volume
The most common units of density are grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3) or grams per milliliter (g/mL).
d = m / V
Remember … 1 cm3 = 1 milliliter
15
Density & Temperature
1. How does temperature affect density?
a. Increasing Temperature DECREASES density
i. Volume increases with increasing Temperature
- Why? ii. Mass stays constant, right? iii. Since D=m/v D must decrease. Why?
- SO DENSITY DEC. WITH INC. TEMPERATURE for SOLIDS, LIQUIDS OR GAS
16
Density and Pressure
1. How does Pressure affect density?
- SO For Gases DENSITY INC. with INC. PRESSURE (Can you Explain what happens when pressure decreases?)
- Solids and liquids are not affected by pressure- Volume remains constant- No change in Density
-What happens to gases when pressure is increased?
-Volume decreases but mass remains constant
Since D= m/v D must be increasing
17
Water is peculiar in that it’s volume increases as it goes from liquidAt 4 deg To solid at zero. This is opposite to how most materials behave.
D = M/V
As V increasesD decreases
So ice floats onwater
DENSITY

What is temperature?- How warm or cold something is- But what does this mean?
- Molecules are in constant motion - Being in motion they have Kinetic Energy (K.E.= ½ mv2)
- As they collide with thermometer they impart their KE to it - That’s why we feel “warm” or “cold
- The thermometer molecules begin to move faster & they impart Their energy to the material inside which warms and expands (or cools and contracts). We read this change on the scale.
- So Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy!
19
Temperature Scales
Fahrenheit (F) - FP is set at 32 and BP is set at 212
Celcius (C) - FP is set at 0 and BP is set at 100
Kelvin (K) - Absolute Zero is the zero point; FP is then 273.15
One degree on the Celcius scale is exactly equal to 1 degree on the Kelvin scale
One degree on the Fahrenheit scale is equal to 1.8 degrees onthe Centigrade and Kelvin scale
20
Conversion formulas
How can we convert from one temperature scale to another?
K = C + 273 (more precisely 273.15)
C = K – 273
