Unit 1- Matter and Measurement
Chapter 1 in text bookDay 1
Qualitative and Quantitative Data
Qualitative- information that describes• Qualitative Quality• 5 senses• Ex- color, texture, smell, taste, sound, etc.
Quantitative- numerical information• Quantitative Quantity• Measured• Ex- mass, speed, height, length, etc.
Accuracy and Precision• Accuracy– How close a number is to the correct answer or
value• On a test, you need to be accurate to get the question
correct.
• Precision– Having data values that are close to each other• If you mass a block three times and your values are
5.67g, 5.66g, and 5.69g; your data is precise.
For each dart board,
do the darts have high or low accuracy and precision?
Lets look at some example data!
You measure the length of a piece of wood three times and record the following data: 76.48cm, 76.47cm, and 76.59cm.
1. Is your data precise?2. If the label on the wood says it is 76.49cm long,
are your measurements accurate?
Student A Student B Student C
Trial 1 1.54 g 1.40 g 1.70g
Trial 2 1.60g 1.68g 1.69g
Trial 3 1.57g 1.45g 1.71 g
Average 1.57g 1.51g 1.70g
Uncertain Digit• All measurements are uncertain to some
degree– Basis for significant figures
• The uncertain digit is the guessed digit
Significant Figures (sig figs)
• Meaningful digits in a MEASUREMENT– The certain numbers and the first uncertain digit.
• Exact numbers are counted, have unlimited significant figures
• If the number is measured or estimated, it has sig figs.
Rules for SIG FIGS
1. All non-zero numbers are significant.– Example- 5952 – has 4 sig figs
2. All zeros between non-zero numbers are significant.– 405 – has 3 sig figs
3. All zeros to the left of the number are not significant.– 0.0028 – has 2 sig figs
4. Zeros on the right of the number are only significant if there is a decimal point.– 1590 – has 3 sig figs– 8260. – has 4 sig figs– 0.0837 – has 3 sig figs
Examples
1. 2801.02. 6933. 9504. 0.3695. 0.05706. 48020.7. 62.01400
Doing the math• Multiplication and division, same number of sig
figs in answer as the least in the problem• Addition and subtraction, same number of
decimal places in answer as least in problem.• Example-– Calculate the density of an object that has a mass of
102.4 g and a volume of 50.0 mL.– Add the following measurements and report them
to the appropriate significant figures: 28.0 cm, 23.538 cm, and 25.68 cm
Dimensional Analysis• Use conversion factors to change the units• Conversion factors = 1• 1 foot = 12 inches (equivalence statement)
• 12 in = 1 = 1 ft. 1 ft. 12 in
• 2 conversion factors• multiply by the one that will give you the correct
units in your answer.
Temperature
• A measure of the average kinetic energy• Different temperature scales, all are talking
about the same height of mercury.• Derive a equation for converting ºF toºC

Temperature Conversions
Density
• Ratio of mass to volume• D = m/V• Useful for identifying a compound• Useful for predicting weight• An intrinsic property- does not depend on
how much of the material there is
Density Problem• An empty container weighs 121.3 g. Filled with
carbon tetrachloride (density 1.53 g/cm3 ) the container weighs 283.2 g. What is the volume of the container?
Day 2: Matter
What is matter?
• Anything that has mass and takes up space.– (Has mass and volume)
Element vs. Compound
• Element is composed of only atoms from one element– One individual part is an atom
• Compound is two or more atoms bonded together– Water- H20– Oxygen Gas- O2
– One individual part is a molecule
Pure Substance
• Matter that doesn’t change and is uniform• Usually an element or compound– Water– Salt– Carbon
• Not a pure substance– Salt water– Hot chocolate– Trail mix
Mixtures
• Homogeneous– Appears the same throughout– A.k.a. a solution• Example- lemonade, salt water
• Heterogeneous– the different parts can be seen• Example- Chocolate chip cookie, salad
Mixtures• Mixture - combo. of 2 or more pure substances in
which each retains its individual chemical props; ex: water & sand.
• 2 Types:– 1. Heterogeneous - doesn't blend uniformly (water & sand);
individual substances remain distinct. – 2. Homogeneous - aka Solutions (soln) - constant
composition throughout & always has a single phase. • Ex: salt & water : will contain the same relative amounts of salt &
water in every drop.
Separating Mixtures
• Distillation - based on different boiling pts (bpts); mixture is heated until the subst. w/lowest bpt boils to a vapor which can be condensed into a liquid & collected.
• Crystallization - when a soln has as much solute it can hold, one more pinch will cause the solute to come out of soln & collect as crystals. (Rock candy)
Separation Techniques• Filtration- solid part is
trapped by filter paper and the liquid part runs through the paper
• Vaporization- where the liquid portion is evaporated off to leave solid
Separation Techniques• Decanting- when liquid is
poured off after solid has settled to bottom
• Centrifuge- machine that spins a sample very quickly so that components with different densities will separate
Separation Techniques• Paper
Chromatography- used to separate mixtures because different parts move quicker on paper than other
