There’s no such word as ‘amount’!
What do you really mean when you say “amount”?

Matter is anything that has mass and volume (takes up space):
            We measure mass in kilograms (kg), or grams (g).
            We measure volume in litres (l) or millilitres (ml) (sometimes cm3).

But we also describe other quantities:
            Time in seconds (s)
            Length or distance in metres (m)
            Energy in joules (J) or kilojoules (kJ)
            Heat/temperature in degrees Celcius (oC) (the SI* unit is Kelvin, K)
            Amount of a substance in moles (mol)
            Concentration of a solution in moles per litre (M)
            Acidity or alkalinity in pH (0 is a strong acid, 7 is neutral, 14 a strong base)
            Electrical conductivity in Siemens (S)

*Standard International (SI)units are based on the metric system – numbers that divide easily
into tens and hundreds. Most countries in the world use these units and it makes calculations
more straightforward.

In this activity, we’ll learn how to measure some of these physical quantities using the
appropriate tools in the lab. Complete this lab manual as you go along – you will use it as a tool
throughout the course.


Safety First
We must be safe in the lab at all times. Check that you can find these:
    Goggles
    Fire blanket                            What should you do if there is an accident in the lab?
    Fire extinguisher
    Phone
                                               Do not try to clean up broken glass – MrT will do it.

Safe Bunsen ‘driving license’
            How do you turn on the Bunsen?
             ……………………………………………………………………………………………………
             ……………………………………………………………………………………………………

            What is the ‘safety flame’?
             …………………………………………………………………………………………………
             …………………………………………………………………………………………………

            What is the ‘roaring flame’ and which part is the hottest?
             …………………………………………………………………………………………………
             …………………………………………………………………………………………………

             NEVER point a hot container towards yourself or others.
             ALWAYS be careful in the Chemistry Lab!
Visual guide to Chemistry Lab equipment
As you work through the tasks, draw some simple diagrams of the lab equipment to help you
remember the names.

Units and Uncertainty                             (Quia quiz: http://www.quia.com/quiz/3507626.html)
All measurements have uncertainties – a range of values in which the true measurement could
lie. More precise measuring tools have a smaller degree of uncertainty.




Significant Digits (or Significant Figures)               Tutorial:http://is.gd/sigfigs
We use significant digits to communicate how precise a measurement is – how certain we are in
our measurement. In the example above, there are 4 significant digits.
Significant digits are:
             All non-zero digits (and all the zeroes in-between non-zeroes!)
             Any digits after a decimal point
But they are NOT:
             Leading zeroes, e.g. 0.000345 has only 3 sigdigs: 345
             Trailing zeroes with no decimal, e.g. 10,000 has only 1 sigdig
How many significant digits in these numbers?       Write these numbers to 3sigdigs:
   123.45 _________ sig digits
                                                        12420      = _______________
   123000 _________ sig digits
   1.008       _________ sig digits                    0.03209 = _______________
   01.67       _________ sig digits
                                                        4050.0     = _______________
   1000        _________ sig digits
   1000.0 _________ sig digits                         0.0101010 = ______________



Calculating Significant Digits
We can only report values to the minimum degree of certainty so:
           When adding or subtracting, use the number of decimal places of the weakest value.
           When multiplying or dividing, use the number of sigdigs of the weakest value.

1.   2.01 - 1.0 =

2.   123 + 456.789 =

3.   1.2 x 3.45 =

4.   34.678 /3.33 =
Measuring Volume
We use graduated cylinders to measure volumes of a liquid. We do not use beakers or conical
flasks – the marks on those are estimates only.

We read the volume at the bottom of the meniscus – label it on the diagram.

Observe these different-sized measuring cylinders. Complete the table.
  Size    Markings every… Recorded volume (ml) Uncertainty (±            )
  5ml
  10ml
  50ml
 100ml

Which of the cylinders has:
      1. The most precise gradations (markings)? _______
      2. The biggest uncertainty? _______

Add up the total volume of water in the four cylinders. Present your working and give the answer
to the most appropriate significant digits. Explain your answer.

Measuring Mass
We use digital balances to measure the mass of a substance.
       Never get the balance wet or dirty.
       Check the range of the balance – do not press on it or add a
            mass that is heavier than the maximum. You will break it.
       Use a measuring tray or paper on top of the stage. “Zero” it if you need to.
       Do not stack balances or drop them.

Choose one known mass and measure it using three different balances. Complete the table.
Balance Range (g)   Recorded mass (g) Uncertainty (± ) What is this balance good for?
   A
   B
   C
Accuracy, Precision & Errors                            (Quia quiz: http://www.quia.com/quiz/3507626.html)

There is always an element of error in our measurements.
The accuracy of a measurement is how close it lies to the true value (“correct
answer”). The precision of a measurement is how repeatable that
measurement is.
Which of the dartboards shows:
      1. High precision and high accuracy?             Top - Middle - Bottom
      2. Low precision and low accuracy?               Top - Middle - Bottom
      3. High precision but low accuracy?              Top - Middle - Bottom
Systematic error is an error that is the same for all measurements and can be
adjusted. For example, a digital balance that is poorly calibrated might
measure 0.5g too much each time.
Random error is not consistent between measurements and cannot be
adjusted. For example, errors introduced by using different recording tools or
people.
Which of the dartboards shows:
 4. Random error? Top - Middle – Bottom               5. Systematic error? Top - Middle - Bottom
                          Dartboard diagrams from http://preparatorychemistry.com/Bishop_Book_1_eBook.pdf


Measuring Temperature
Compare the glass thermometer with the temperature probe on the data logger.
Remember: Thermometers and dataloggers are NOT for stirring!
      Measure the temperature of the solution/ liquid – NOT the container
      Don’t touch the thermometer or probe against the glass
      Wait for the temperature to stabilize before taking the reading

                                                                        Which would you choose to get
  Glass thermometer oC (±            )                                  quick readings of a reaction that
                                                                        changes temperature?
   Temperature probe oC (±          )



What is a Solution?
A solution is a homogenous* mixture of a substance in a liquid.
        The solvent is the liquid, e.g. water or alcohol, which dissolves
        the…
        Solute, which is the solid, e.g. salt or sugar.

        Label the solvent and the solute in the diagram to the right.


*mixtures can be:
           Homogenous = evenly distributed, like solutions
           Heterogeneous = unevenly distributed, like soup or the oceans.

Beaker from: http://www.wpclipart.com/science/beaker/beaker.png.html
Measuring pH
We use pH probes on the datalogger to measure the acidity or
alkalinity of a solution. Strong acids have low pH, neutral pH is 7 and
strong bases have high pH.


Measuring Conductivty
In some solutions, ions form. These are positive ions (cations +) or
negative ions (anions -). When these ions move, they carry electrical
charge, which can be detected with the conductivity probe. A high
concentration of ions will give a high conductivity.

                        pH scale from:http://www.ec.gc.ca/acidrain/kids.html

Take care of the probes:
        Make sure the electrolyte bottle is secure when not being used.
        Rinse gently with distilled water between every reading.
        Do not stir or shake the probe.

Taking readings:
        Submerge the probe and wait for the reading to stabilize
        Record the pH to an appropriate level of precision


Record the pHand conductivityof these three solutions:
   Solution            A                     B                            C
 pH (±      )
 conductivity
  μS (± )
       This symbol means ‘micro’ or one-thousandth.
       1 μS = 0.001 S (Siemens is the unit of conductivity)


Conductivity and pH probes need to be calibrated regularly. This avoids systematic error.
What do we mean by systematic error?

Scientific Notation                                   (Quia quiz: http://www.quia.com/quiz/3504378.html)
Often we produce measurements or readings with a large number of zeroes. We use scientific
notation to present these numbers in a clear, standard format.

Simple rules:
        There is always one digit before the decimal
        It always ends x 10x(“times ten to the power of x”)
        The value of x tells us how many places the decimal has been moved.
          If you are making a large number small, x is positive.
          If you are making a small number (less than zero) larger, X is negative.

e.g. 1230000000000 can be written as 1.23 x 1012
                                              The decimal has moved 12 places to the left.

e.g. 0.000000000123 can be written as 1.23 x 10-10
                                              The decimal has moved 10 places to the right.



Expand the following notations:
1.0 X 103= _____________________________
1.0 X 10-6= _____________________________
4.56 X 105= _____________________________
7.01 X 10-4= _____________________________


Record the following in scientific notation to 3 significant digits:
   •   12340000        = _____________________________
   •   00012340        = _____________________________
   •   10101010        = _____________________________



Compare the following measurements:
3.04 x 104 kJ   3.040 x 104 kJ 3.0400 x 104 kJ

  • 2. There’s no such word as ‘amount’! What do you really mean when you say “amount”? Matter is anything that has mass and volume (takes up space): We measure mass in kilograms (kg), or grams (g). We measure volume in litres (l) or millilitres (ml) (sometimes cm3). But we also describe other quantities: Time in seconds (s) Length or distance in metres (m) Energy in joules (J) or kilojoules (kJ) Heat/temperature in degrees Celcius (oC) (the SI* unit is Kelvin, K) Amount of a substance in moles (mol) Concentration of a solution in moles per litre (M) Acidity or alkalinity in pH (0 is a strong acid, 7 is neutral, 14 a strong base) Electrical conductivity in Siemens (S) *Standard International (SI)units are based on the metric system – numbers that divide easily into tens and hundreds. Most countries in the world use these units and it makes calculations more straightforward. In this activity, we’ll learn how to measure some of these physical quantities using the appropriate tools in the lab. Complete this lab manual as you go along – you will use it as a tool throughout the course. Safety First We must be safe in the lab at all times. Check that you can find these:  Goggles  Fire blanket What should you do if there is an accident in the lab?  Fire extinguisher  Phone Do not try to clean up broken glass – MrT will do it. Safe Bunsen ‘driving license’  How do you turn on the Bunsen? …………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………  What is the ‘safety flame’? ………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………  What is the ‘roaring flame’ and which part is the hottest? ………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………… NEVER point a hot container towards yourself or others. ALWAYS be careful in the Chemistry Lab!
  • 3. Visual guide to Chemistry Lab equipment As you work through the tasks, draw some simple diagrams of the lab equipment to help you remember the names. Beaker Conical flask Test tube Tripod & Gauze mat Test tube tongs Wash bottle Pasteur (dropping) pipette Filter funnel Spatula
  • 4. Units and Uncertainty (Quia quiz: http://www.quia.com/quiz/3507626.html) All measurements have uncertainties – a range of values in which the true measurement could lie. More precise measuring tools have a smaller degree of uncertainty. Significant Digits (or Significant Figures) Tutorial:http://is.gd/sigfigs We use significant digits to communicate how precise a measurement is – how certain we are in our measurement. In the example above, there are 4 significant digits. Significant digits are: All non-zero digits (and all the zeroes in-between non-zeroes!) Any digits after a decimal point But they are NOT: Leading zeroes, e.g. 0.000345 has only 3 sigdigs: 345 Trailing zeroes with no decimal, e.g. 10,000 has only 1 sigdig How many significant digits in these numbers? Write these numbers to 3sigdigs:  123.45 _________ sig digits  12420 = _______________  123000 _________ sig digits  1.008 _________ sig digits  0.03209 = _______________  01.67 _________ sig digits  4050.0 = _______________  1000 _________ sig digits  1000.0 _________ sig digits  0.0101010 = ______________ Calculating Significant Digits We can only report values to the minimum degree of certainty so: When adding or subtracting, use the number of decimal places of the weakest value. When multiplying or dividing, use the number of sigdigs of the weakest value. 1. 2.01 - 1.0 = 2. 123 + 456.789 = 3. 1.2 x 3.45 = 4. 34.678 /3.33 =
  • 5. Measuring Volume We use graduated cylinders to measure volumes of a liquid. We do not use beakers or conical flasks – the marks on those are estimates only. We read the volume at the bottom of the meniscus – label it on the diagram. Observe these different-sized measuring cylinders. Complete the table. Size Markings every… Recorded volume (ml) Uncertainty (± ) 5ml 10ml 50ml 100ml Which of the cylinders has: 1. The most precise gradations (markings)? _______ 2. The biggest uncertainty? _______ Add up the total volume of water in the four cylinders. Present your working and give the answer to the most appropriate significant digits. Explain your answer. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Measuring Mass We use digital balances to measure the mass of a substance.  Never get the balance wet or dirty.  Check the range of the balance – do not press on it or add a mass that is heavier than the maximum. You will break it.  Use a measuring tray or paper on top of the stage. “Zero” it if you need to.  Do not stack balances or drop them. Choose one known mass and measure it using three different balances. Complete the table. Balance Range (g) Recorded mass (g) Uncertainty (± ) What is this balance good for? A B C
  • 6. Accuracy, Precision & Errors (Quia quiz: http://www.quia.com/quiz/3507626.html) There is always an element of error in our measurements. The accuracy of a measurement is how close it lies to the true value (“correct answer”). The precision of a measurement is how repeatable that measurement is. Which of the dartboards shows: 1. High precision and high accuracy? Top - Middle - Bottom 2. Low precision and low accuracy? Top - Middle - Bottom 3. High precision but low accuracy? Top - Middle - Bottom Systematic error is an error that is the same for all measurements and can be adjusted. For example, a digital balance that is poorly calibrated might measure 0.5g too much each time. Random error is not consistent between measurements and cannot be adjusted. For example, errors introduced by using different recording tools or people. Which of the dartboards shows: 4. Random error? Top - Middle – Bottom 5. Systematic error? Top - Middle - Bottom Dartboard diagrams from http://preparatorychemistry.com/Bishop_Book_1_eBook.pdf Measuring Temperature Compare the glass thermometer with the temperature probe on the data logger. Remember: Thermometers and dataloggers are NOT for stirring!  Measure the temperature of the solution/ liquid – NOT the container  Don’t touch the thermometer or probe against the glass  Wait for the temperature to stabilize before taking the reading Which would you choose to get Glass thermometer oC (± ) quick readings of a reaction that changes temperature? Temperature probe oC (± ) What is a Solution? A solution is a homogenous* mixture of a substance in a liquid. The solvent is the liquid, e.g. water or alcohol, which dissolves the… Solute, which is the solid, e.g. salt or sugar.  Label the solvent and the solute in the diagram to the right. *mixtures can be: Homogenous = evenly distributed, like solutions Heterogeneous = unevenly distributed, like soup or the oceans. Beaker from: http://www.wpclipart.com/science/beaker/beaker.png.html
  • 7. Measuring pH We use pH probes on the datalogger to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Strong acids have low pH, neutral pH is 7 and strong bases have high pH. Measuring Conductivty In some solutions, ions form. These are positive ions (cations +) or negative ions (anions -). When these ions move, they carry electrical charge, which can be detected with the conductivity probe. A high concentration of ions will give a high conductivity. pH scale from:http://www.ec.gc.ca/acidrain/kids.html Take care of the probes:  Make sure the electrolyte bottle is secure when not being used.  Rinse gently with distilled water between every reading.  Do not stir or shake the probe. Taking readings:  Submerge the probe and wait for the reading to stabilize  Record the pH to an appropriate level of precision Record the pHand conductivityof these three solutions: Solution A B C pH (± ) conductivity μS (± ) This symbol means ‘micro’ or one-thousandth. 1 μS = 0.001 S (Siemens is the unit of conductivity) Conductivity and pH probes need to be calibrated regularly. This avoids systematic error. What do we mean by systematic error? ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
  • 8. Scientific Notation (Quia quiz: http://www.quia.com/quiz/3504378.html) Often we produce measurements or readings with a large number of zeroes. We use scientific notation to present these numbers in a clear, standard format. Simple rules:  There is always one digit before the decimal  It always ends x 10x(“times ten to the power of x”)  The value of x tells us how many places the decimal has been moved.  If you are making a large number small, x is positive.  If you are making a small number (less than zero) larger, X is negative. e.g. 1230000000000 can be written as 1.23 x 1012 The decimal has moved 12 places to the left. e.g. 0.000000000123 can be written as 1.23 x 10-10 The decimal has moved 10 places to the right. Expand the following notations: 1.0 X 103= _____________________________ 1.0 X 10-6= _____________________________ 4.56 X 105= _____________________________ 7.01 X 10-4= _____________________________ Record the following in scientific notation to 3 significant digits: • 12340000 = _____________________________ • 00012340 = _____________________________ • 10101010 = _____________________________ Compare the following measurements: 3.04 x 104 kJ 3.040 x 104 kJ 3.0400 x 104 kJ ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
