Chemical change: a substance becomes a new substance(s) with a different chemical composition and properties.§1.4 Physical or Chemical Change?PhysicalChemical§1.5 EnergySkip this section, we’ll cover this material in Chapter 6.§1.6 SI Units of MeasurementCombination of Base Units gives Derivative Units, for instance, Volume§1.6 SI Base Units6 out of 7 of the SI units can be measured for calibration purposes by anyone anywhere in the world. For example:o1 s = the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of 133Cso1 m = the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a secondThe kg is the only SI unit that cannot be measured. Also only unit that uses a prefix: kilo-gram§1.6 The International Prototype KilogramThe IPK is the kilogram.Stored outside of Paris, it is taken out every 50 years.In 1992, it was revealed that the IPK had lost ~30 g (the mass of a dust particle).Red LightA typical wavelength of red light is 0.0000007 m. 0.0000007 m = 7 ⨯ 10-7 m = 700 nm§1.6 SI PrefixesPrefix SymbolDecimalEquivalentPower of 10mega- M 1,000,000 106kilo- k 1,000 103deci- d 0.1 10-1centi- c 0.01 10-2milli- m 0.001 10-3micro- 0.000 001 10-6nano- n 0.000 000 00110-9pico- p 0.000 000 000 001 10-12§1.6 SI Measurements of TimeMinutes, hours, days, etc. aren't metric, yet are still used in science.This milk is 1 year old, not 31 megaseconds.Your olfactory nerve would tell you in <1 ms not to drink this.§1.6 Temperature ConversionTK = TC + 273.15TC = TK - 273.15TF = TC(9/5) + 32TC = (TF – 32)(5/9)§1.6 KelvinsAlthough temperatures of about 0.000001 K have been reached, it is generally accepted that 0 K cannot be attained.Only use K in this class.Use of the Kelvin scale is critical for calculations that would result in division by zero or impossible results if Celsius were used.moles ideal gas = PVRT§1.6 Derived UnitsThere are 7 SI base units. All other units (derived units) are combinations of these base units.E.g., a Newton (N) is a unit of force. N = kg · m · s-2§1.6 VolumeVolume, the amount of space something occupies, is the most common derived unit. Liters are defined in terms of length:1 dm3 = 1 L = 1000 cm3 = 1000 mL1 cm3 = 1 mL2 L bottles§1.6 DensityDensity is mass per unit volume; the most common units are g/cm3.A penny is 2.49 g with a volume of 0.349 cm3. Is it pure copper?2.49 g / 0.349 cm3 = 7.13 g/cm3Zinc Solid 7.14§1.7 Significant FiguresA measurement always has some degree of uncertainty.Significant figures indicate precision in a measurement or experiment.Significant figures are all the certain digits and the first uncertain digit of a measurement.Number BiasAcross race, religion, culture, age and gender, human beings prefer in this order: onumbers ending in 0;onumbers ending in 5;oeven numbers.This psychological effect (number bias) can cause errors in measurement.§1.7 Counting Significant Figures1) Non-zeros are always significant.2) Zeros are sometimes significant, depending on their type. There are three types of zeros.§1.7 Counting Significant Figures2a) Leading zeros (to the left of nonzero digits) are not significant.0.210.000072 significant figures1 significant figure§1.7 Counting Significant Figures2b) Captive zeros (between nonzero digits) are always significant.10830.010.9043 significant figures4 significant figures3 significant figures§1.7 Counting Significant Figures2c) Trailing zeros (to the right of nonzero digits) are significant if the number has a decimal point.20.00020030.5 significant figures1 significant figure2 significant figures§1.7 Counting Significant Figures3) Exact numbers have no effect on the number of significant figures in a calculation.Examples of exact numbers:Counted objects (3 experiments)Defined amounts (1 km = 1000 m)Formula numbers [volume of a cone = (1/3)r2h]§1.7 How many significant figures?0.89 kg 2 1 s = 1000 ms ∞600 L 1 0.00004 kg 1108 g 3 100 atoms ∞21.03 mL 4 8.00 × 102 L 30.304 s 3 800. g 390.000 g 5 1 trillion∞ Since is calculated, it is an inexact number.
