Can we manipulate composition to get results we want? ▪ Pharmaceuticals, plastics, preservatives, paints, etc… (3) Kotz Fig. 2.8, p. 80 © CR, MBM 2024 Sustainability & Green Chemistry (Kotz Ch.1 sect.1.2) Green chemistry principles to live by: (much of this applies to everyday life…) PLAN AHEAD: Prevent waste rather than cleaning it up afterwards. BE EFFICIENT: Design synthetic methods to maximize the incorporation of starting materials into the final product. USE LESS ENERGY: Perform reactions at ambient temperatures and pressures, to minimize cost & environmental impact of energy usage. BE CAUTIOUS: Choose substances that minimize the potential for chemical accidents, including releases, explosions and fires. LIMIT TOXICITY: Design synthetic methods to use & generate substances that possess little/no toxicity to human health or the environment. Design chemical products to function effectively while still reducing toxicity. GO RENEWABLE: Choose renewable raw materials whenever technically and economically practical. GO BIODEGRADABLE: Design chemical products so that, at the end of their function, they do not persist in the environment or break down into dangerous products.

Usually unavoidable. Often results from poor technique or poor expt design Magnitude determined by: Magnitude determined by: - size of scale’s divisions - size of scale’s divisions - worker’s attention to detail Direction determined by: - random: varies each time Direction determined by: last digit is estimated - calibration of instrument e.g., uncertainties in lengths e.g., bathroom scale offset… & volumes on last slide… (14) © CR, MBM 2024 Accuracy vs. precision: describing your data ▪ Accuracy: refers to the agreement of a particular value with the true value ACCURATE (or accepted value) but imprecise Relative error (often as %) = Average exp’tal value – true value true value ▪ Precision: refers to the PRECISE degree of agreement among but inaccurate several measurements of the same quantity. Deviation (for each measurement) = ACCURATE Exp’tal measurement – average value and PRECISE Standard deviation? see Kotz 11th p.40 see Kotz 11th LR Fig 1R.5 (15) © CR, MBM 2024 Comparing data sets: precision vs. accuracy Since the year 2000, the penny weighs 2.35 g.

Figs in Mathematical Operations ▪ Rounding: Round up if 1st non-significant figure is ≥ 5 ▪ Addition and Subtraction: # sig. figs in result is limited by the number of decimal places in least precise measurement (piece of data) used in calculation keep lowest # decimal places in answer 6.8 ▪ Picture lining up decimals of measured #s (written at same + 11.954 order of magnitude). 18.754 ? ✓ = 18.8 (3 SF) reveals least precise # used, & dominates answer’s uncertainty. ▪ Multiplication and Division: # sig. figs in result is same as the number of sig. figs in least precise measurement used: 6.38 2.0 = 12.76 ? ▪ Unfortunately, there is no simple way to ✓ = 13 (2 SF) visualize why this rule is used. THE GOAL: to make sure our numerical results honestly reflect (18) the level of uncertainty in the raw data used. © CR, MBM 2024 Multistep calculations: avoid rounding error by rounding only at end ▪ Follow order of operations: ( ) 1st, then //exponents, then +/- ▪ For EACH operation: apply matching SF rule, BUT: underline the last significant figure in # keep 1-2 extra SFs for next step ▪ At very last step: round off to correct # SFs for last step CLICKER Q: Applying SF rules to realistic data.Mass (by difference, same scale). = 1832.0 g – 926.2 g Volume (perfect sphere) 4/ (3.05 cm)3 3 After 1st 2 steps: = 905.8 g. sample of (not yet rounded) 4/ (3.14159…)(28.3726 cm3) unknown 3 density After rest of steps: = 7.621566 g/cm3 (not yet rounded) How should the density A. 7.6216 g/cm3 value be reported?

Execute the plan. ▪ Show all units – do they yield desired units at end ? ▪ Don’t skip steps (& don’t round off prematurely). 4. Check your answer. ▪ Common sense – is it a reasonable number ? ▪ Verify number of significant figures. (24) © CR, MBM 2024 What drug dose was given?

Sterling silver is a solid solution or “alloy” of silver (Ag) and copper (Cu). If a piece of a sterling silver necklace has a mass of 105.0 g and a volume of 10.12 mL, calculate the mass percent of silver in the necklace. Assume that the volume of silver present plus the volume of copper present equals the total volume.
