Curious?• Why should non-science
majors study science?
• If you cannot think of a question you want answered, try to think of one for which a group of people might pay for an answer.
![Page 3: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Measurement• Measurements allow us to distinguish between small
differences existing within larger classifications, differences which might otherwise go unnoticed.
![Page 4: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Uncertainty• Scientists report measured quantities in a way
that reflects the uncertainty associated with the measuring device used.
![Page 5: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Concept Check 2.1• A fisherman describes his latest catch as a 61.5 cm
rainbow trout with a mass of 2.35 kg. What is the uncertainty of each measurement?
![Page 6: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Concept Check 2.1 Solution• The uncertainty in the length is ±0.1 cm because the
last digit measured is in the first decimal place.
• The uncertainty of the mass measurement is ±0.01 kg because the last digit measured is in the second decimal place.
![Page 7: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Scientific Notation• Scientific notation offers a
solution for writing very large and very small numbers.
• Numbers written in scientific notation have two parts:
– The decimal part
– The exponential part
• Make sure you know how to use your own calculator to enter and manipulate numbers in scientific notation.
![Page 8: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Units• Units are fixed, agreed-upon quantities to which
other quantities are compared.
• A number in association with a unit is a representation of a measurement.
![Page 11: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
International System of Units (SI units)
• To minimize confusion, scientists around the world agree to use this SI units.
• Based on the metric system
• Each is a combination of:
– A base unit
– A prefix multiplier
![Page 12: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

• Length – meter (m)
• Mass – kilogram (kg)
• Time – second (s)
![Page 13: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Basic SI Units• Length: meter (m)
– Defined (1983) as the distance that light travels in 1/2999,792,445 seconds
– Human height: 2 m
– Dust particle: 0.0001 m
– 1 meter = 39.4 inches
![Page 14: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

– Weight and Mass are different
• Mass: quantity of matter
• Weight: a measure of force exerted by the gravitational pull on an object.

Prefix Multipliers
![Page 17: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Derived SI Units
• A simple example is volume.
• It is the result of a mathematical operation
• Length × Width × Height
![Page 18: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Unit Conversions• Some unit conversions are
intuitive:
– 60 minutes in 1 hour
– 12 eggs in a dozen
• The algebraic expression of unit conversions requires one or more conversion factors.
• Conversion factors can be constructed from any two quantities known to be equal.
•(quantity given) × (conversion factor(s)) = (quantity sought)
![Page 19: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Concept Check 2.3• Convert 85.0 kg to pounds.
![Page 20: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Concept Check 2.3 Solution• Converting 85.0 kg to pounds (lbs) requires unit
conversion factors for mass.
• Using Table 2-3, we find the unit conversion factors that are necessary to solve the problem. The unit converted from is in the denominator and the unit converted to is in the numerator.
85.0 kg 2.20 lbs
1 kg = 187 lbs
![Page 21: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Concept Check 2.4• Convert the length 5.00 m to yards.
![Page 22: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Concept Check 2.4 Solution• Converting 5.00 m to yards involves two steps. Starting with
conversion factors provided on Table 2-3, we begin with converting meters to inches, then from inches to yards.
5.00 m 39.37 in
1 m If we stop here, the answer will be in inches.
By adding the conversion factor from inches to yards at the end of
the first step, we get:
5.00 m 39.37 in
1 m
1 yds
12 in = 16.4 yds
![Page 23: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Reading Graphs• Graphs allow for the visualization of trends in numerical data.
![Page 24: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Concept Check 2.5• Using data from the previous graph, calculate the
average increase in carbon dioxide concentration per year from 1995 to 2005.
![Page 25: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Concept Check 2.5 Solution• The data from the previous graph shows that the
CO2 concentration in 1995 was 360 ppm and steadily increased to 380 ppm in 2005, an increase of 20 ppm over 10 years. Dividing the increase of CO2 concentration by the 10 year time period gives the average increase of CO2 concentration per year.
380 ppm - 360 ppm
10 years = 2.0 ppm/year

Reading Graphs• The representation of graphical data can influence
the information extracted from that data.

Reading Graphs
![Page 28: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Concept Check 2.6• Using data from the previous graph, what is the total
decrease in sulfur dioxide from 1990 to 2006 and the total percentage decrease from initial levels?
![Page 29: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Concept Check 2.6 Solution• Change in SO2 Concentrations:
1990 8.0 ppb
2006 3.6 ppb
8.0 ppb – 3.6 ppb = 4.4 ppb decrease in SO2 concentration
• Decrease in SO2 Concentration From 1990 to 2006
• From 1990 to 2006, the SO2 concentration decreased 4.4 ppb which translates to a 55% decrease from initial levels.

Concept Check 2.7• What is the mass of a 125 mL-sample of a liquid with
a density of 0.655 g/mL?
![Page 35: Chapter 2 The Chemist ’ s Toolbox](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814065550346895dabe22e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Concept Check 2.7 Solution• Density is expressed using the equation: d = m/v.
Rearranging the equation to solve for mass gives us:
m = d × v.

Chapter SummaryMolecular Concept
• Measurement tools
• The standard SI units
• Understanding graphs
• Conversions and conversion factors
Societal Impact
• Neither science nor technology could advance very far without measurements.
• Decisions about units of measurement are societal.
• Be cautious when reading data (scientific or informal). Carefully evaluate units in data tables and on graphs.
