13. What causes the meniscus? A concave meniscus occurs when the molecules of the liquid attract those of the container. The glass attracts the water on the sides. Measuring Volume We will be using graduated cylinders to find the volume of liquids and other objects. Read the measurement based on the bottom of the meniscus or curve. When using a real cylinder, make sure you are eye-level with the level of the water. What is the volume of water in the cylinder? _____mL
14. Measuring Liquid Volume What is the volume of water in each cylinder? Images created at http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/primaryframework/downloads/SWF/measuring_cylinder.swf A B C Pay attention to the scales for each cylinder.
15. 9 cm 8 cm 10 cm We can measure the volume of irregular object using water displacement. Amount of H2O with object = ______About of H2O without object = ______Difference = Volume = ______ http://resources.edb.gov.hk/~s1sci/R_S1Science/sp/en/syllabus/unit14/new/testingmain1.htm Measuring Solid Volume We can measure the volume of regular object using the formula length x width x height. _____ X _____ X _____ = _____
16. Temperature Scales How hot? How cold? direction of Heat Transfer Celsius – 0 0C Freezing Point of Water 100 0C Boiling Point of Water Kelvin = C° + 273 No degree signs are used O Kelvin = -273.150 C coldest possible temperature
17. What is the metric unit for…? Length – size meter (m) Mass – amount of matter Kilogram (kg) or gram (g) Volume – space something takes up Liter (l) or centimeters cubed (cm3) Temperature – amount of heat Kelvin (K) = celsius + 273
18. Density Measure of how much matter is squeezed into a given space density = mass volume
19. Which one is more dense? A block of wood and a block of steel have the same volume
20. What do you think? What happens to the density of an object if it is cut into pieces? Which has the greater density, a single uranium atom or Earth?
21. Scientific Notation coefficient x 10 raised to a power Single gram of hydrogen 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules = 6.02 x 1023 molecules Mass of an atom of gold 0.000000000000000000000327 grams = 3.27 x 10-22 grams
23. Significant Figures The valid digits of a number In measurement: includes all of the digits that are known, plus a last digit that is estimated
24. Significant Figures Significant: nonzero digits final zeros after the decimal points zeros between two other significant digits Not significant zeros used solely for spacing the decimal point are not significant.
25. Examples each have only two sig figs 0.0071 meter 0.42 meter 0.000099 meter 7.1 x 10-3 meter 4.2 x 10-1 meter 9.9 x 10-5 meter
27. Rounding If the digit immediately to the right of the last significant digit is less than 5, it is dropped 5 or greater - last significant digit increased by 1 41.58 square meters 41.6 square meters
28. Practice Round 65.145 meters to 4 sig figs 65.15m Round 100.1°C to 1 sig fig 100°C Round 154 cm to 2 sig figs 150 Round 0.000718 kilograms to 2 sig figs 0.00072
29. Measurements with an Unlimited Number of Significant Digits Counting Example: 23 people in the classroom (Not 22.9 or 23.1) 23.00000000………………. Exactly defined quantities Example: 60 minutes = 1 hour 60.00000000……………………..
30. Calculation Rules calculated answer cannot be too precise not more precise than the least precise measurement Multiplication and Division same number of sig figs as the measurement with the least number of sig figs Addition and Subtraction same number of decimal places as the measurement with the least number of decimal places
