    Study Notes

    Measurements in Chemistry

    • Measurements provide information that informs hypotheses, theories, and laws in chemistry.
    • Every measurement provides three kinds of information:
      • The size or magnitude of the measurement (a number)
      • A standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit)
      • An indication of the uncertainty of the measurement

    Representation of Measurements

    • Measurements can be represented in different ways, including:
      • Decimal form
      • Scientific notation (also known as exponential notation)

    Units in Measurements

    • Units, such as liters, pounds, and centimeters, are standards of comparison for measurements.
    • Examples of measurements with units:
      • A 2-liter bottle of a soft drink contains a volume of beverage that is twice that of the accepted volume of 1 liter.
      • The meat used to prepare a 0.25-pound hamburger weighs one-fourth as much as the accepted weight of 1 pound.

    SI Base Units

    • The seven fundamental properties ("base units") in the International System of Units (SI) are:
      • Length (meter, m)
      • Mass (kilogram, kg)
      • Time (second, s)
      • Temperature (kelvin, K)
      • Electric current (ampere, A)
      • Amount of substance (mole, mol)
      • Luminous intensity (candela, cd)

    Derived SI Units

    • Derived SI units can be formed by combining the base units:
      • Volume (cubic meter, m³)
      • Density (kilogram per cubic meter, kg/m³)

    Prefixes in SI Units

    • Prefixes can be used to create multiples and fractions of the base units:
      • Examples of prefixes: femto (10^-15), pico (10^-12), nano (10^-9), micro (10^-6), milli (10^-3), centi (10^-2), kilo (10^3), mega (10^6), giga (10^9), tera (10^12)

    Density

    • Density is a measure of the mass per unit volume of a substance.
    • The SI unit of density is the kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m³).
    • Density can be calculated by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume.

    Examples of Density Calculations

    • Example 1: The density of lead can be calculated by dividing its mass by its volume.
    • Example 2: The density of a material can be calculated by measuring its mass and volume using the displacement of water method.### Importance of Units
    • Without units, a number can be meaningless, confusing, or even life-threatening
    • Example: a doctor prescribing phenobarbital without specifying units can lead to incorrect dosage and serious consequences

    SI Units

    • The International System of Units (SI) is a standardized system of measurement
    • The seven base units of the SI system are:
      • Meter (m) for length
      • Kilogram (kg) for mass
      • Second (s) for time
      • Kelvin (K) for temperature
      • Ampere (A) for electric current
      • Mole (mol) for amount of substance
      • Candela (cd) for luminous intensity

    Derived Units

    • Derived units are formed by combining base units
    • Examples:
      • Volume (m³)
      • Density (kg/m³)
      • Speed (m/s)

    Prefixes

    • Prefixes are used to represent multiples or fractions of base units
    • Examples:
      • Kilo- (10³)
      • Centi- (10⁻²)
      • Milli- (10⁻³)
      • Micro- (10⁻⁶)
      • Nano- (10⁻⁹)

    Measurement Conversion

    • Conversions between units can be done using prefixes and base units
    • Examples:
      • 1 km = 1000 m
      • 1 cm = 0.01 m
      • 1 mL = 0.001 L

    Properties of Substances

    • Density is a property of substances that is measured in units of mass per unit volume
    • Examples:
      • Density of gold: 19.3 g/cm³
      • Density of water: 1.0 g/cm³
      • Density of air: 1.2 g/L

    Calculations

    • Density can be calculated by dividing mass by volume
    • Example: density of lead = mass / volume = 11.3 g/cm³
