Uncertainty in Measurements

A measurement is a number with a unit attached.

It is not possible to make exact measurements, thus all measurements have uncertainty.

We will generally use metric system units. These include: The meter, m, for length measurements

The gram, g, for mass measurements

The liter, L, for volume measurements2

Length Measurements Let’s measure the length of a candy

cane.

Ruler A has 1 cm divisions, so we can estimate the length to ± 0.1 cm. The length is 4.2 ± 0.1 cm.

Ruler B has 0.1 cm divisions, so we can estimate the length to ± 0.05 cm. The length is 4.25 ± 0.05 cm.

3

Uncertainty in Length Ruler A: 4.2 ± 0.1 cm; Ruler B: 4.25

± 0.05 cm.

Ruler A has more uncertainty than Ruler B.

Ruler B gives a more precise measurement.

4

EXAMPLE 2.1 Uncertainty in Measurement

Ruler A has an uncertainty of ±0.1 cm, and Ruler B has an uncertainty of ±0.05 cm. Thus,(a) Ruler A can give the measurements 2.0 cm and 2.5 cm.(b) Ruler B can give the measurements 3.35 cm and 3.50 cm.

Solution

Which measurements are consistent with the metric rulers shown in Figure 2.2?(a) Ruler A: 2 cm, 2.0 cm, 2.05 cm, 2.5 cm, 2.50 cm(b) Ruler B: 3.0 cm, 3.3 cm, 3.33 cm, 3.35 cm, 3.50 cm

Figure 2.2 Metric Rulers for Measuring Length On Ruler A, each division is 1 cm. On Ruler B, each division is 1 cm and each subdivision is 0.1 cm.

EXERCISE 2.1 Uncertainty in Measurement

Which measurements are consistent with the metric rulers shown in Figure 2.2?(a) Ruler A: 1.5 cm, 1.50 cm, 1.55 cm, 1.6 cm, 2.00 cm(b) Ruler B: 0.5 cm, 0.50 cm, 0.055 cm, 0.75 cm, 0.100 cm

Practice Exercise

Mass Measurements

The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter it possesses.

Mass is measured with a balance and is not affected by gravity.

Mass and weight are not interchangeable.

7

Mass Versus Weight Mass and weight are not the same.

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object.

8

Volume Measurements Volume is the amount of space

occupied by a solid, a liquid, or a gas. There are several instruments for

measuring volume, including: Graduated cylinder Syringe Buret Pipet Volumetric flask

9

Significant Digits

Each number in a properly recorded measurement is a significant digit (or significant figure).

Significant digits express the uncertainty in the measurement.

When you count significant digits, start counting with the first nonzero number.

Let’s look at a reaction measured by three stopwatches.

10

Significant Digits, Continued

Stopwatch A is calibrated to seconds (±1 s); Stopwatch B to tenths of a second (±0.1 s); and Stopwatch C to hundredths of a second (±0.01 s).

11

• Stopwatch A reads 35 s; B reads 35.1 s; and C reads 35.08 s.

– 35 s has two significant figure.

– 35.1 s has three significant figures.

– 35.08 has four significant figures.

EXAMPLE 2.2 Significant Digits

In each example, we simply count the number of digits. Thus,(a) 5 (b)3(c) 1 (d)4Notice that the leading zero in (b) and (c) is not part of the measurement but is inserted to call attention to the decimal point that follows.

Solution

State the number of significant digits in the following measurements:(a) 12,345 cm (b)0.123 g(c) 0.5 mL (d) 102.0 s

EXERCISE 2.2 Significant Digits

State the number of significant digits in the following measurements:

(a) 2005 cm (b)25.000 g(c) 25.0 mL (d)0.25 s

Practice Exercise

Significant Digits and Placeholders

If a number is less than 1, a placeholder zero is never significant.

Therefore, 0.5 cm, 0.05 cm, and 0.005 cm all have one significant digit.

If a number is greater than 1, a placeholder zero is usually not significant.

Therefore, 50 cm, 500 cm, and 5000 cm all have one significant digit.

14

EXAMPLE 2.3 Significant Digits

In each example, we count the number of significant digits and disregard placeholder zeros. Thus,(a) 2 (b)4(c) 3 (d)2

Solution

State the number of significant digits in the following measurements:(a) 0.025 cm (b)0.2050 g(c) 25.0 mL (d)2500 s

EXERCISE 2.3 Significant Digits

State the number of significant digits in the following measurements:

(a) 0.050 cm (b) 0.0250 g(c) 50.00 mL (d) 1000 s

Practice Exercise

Exact Numbers When we count something, it is an exact

number.

Significant digit rules do not apply to exact numbers.

An example of an exact number: There are seven

coins on this slide.

17

Rounding Off Nonsignificant Digits

All numbers from a measurement are significant. However, we often generate nonsignificant digits when performing calculations.

We get rid of nonsignificant digits by rounding off numbers.

There are three rules for rounding off numbers.

18

Rules for Rounding Numbers

1. If the first nonsignificant digit is less than 5, drop all nonsignificant digits.

2. If the first nonsignificant digit is greater than or equal to 5, increase the last significant digit by 1 and drop all nonsignificant digits.

3. If a calculation has two or more operations, retain all the nonsignificant digits until the final operation and then round off the answer.

19

Rounding Examples A calculator displays 12.846239 and 3

significant digits are justified. The first nonsignificant digit is a 4, so we

drop all nonsignificant digits and get 12.8 as the answer.

A calculator displays 12.856239 and 3 significant digits are justified.

The first nonsignificant digit is a 5, so the last significant digit is increased by one to 9. All the nonsignificant digits are dropped, and we get 12.9 as the answer.

20

Rounding Off and Placeholder Zeros

Round the measurement 151 mL to two significant digits. If we keep two digits, we have 15 mL, which is

only about 10% of the original measurement. Therefore, we must use a placeholder zero:

150 mL Recall that placeholder zeros are not significant.

Round the measurement 2788 g to two significant digits. We get 2800 g.

• Remember, the placeholder zeros are not significant, and 28 grams is significantly less than 2800 grams.

21

EXAMPLE 2.4 Rounding Off

To locate the first nonsignificant digit, count three digits from left to right. If the first nonsignificant digit is less than 5, drop all nonsignificant digits. If the first nonsignificant digit is 5 or greater, add 1 to the last significant digit.(a) 22.3 (Rule 2) (b) 0.345 (Rule 1)(c) 0.0720 (Rule 1) (d) 12,300 (Rule 2) In (d), notice that two placeholder zeros must be added to 123 to obtain the correct decimal place.

Solution

Round off the following numbers to three significant digits:(a) 22.250 (b)0.34548(c) 0.072038 (d)12,267

EXERCISE 2.4 Rounding Off

Round off the following numbers to three significantdigits:

(a) 12.514748 (b)0.6015261(c) 192.49032 (d)14652.832

Practice Exercise

Adding and Subtracting Measurements

When adding or subtracting measurements, the answer is limited by the value with the most uncertainty.

24

• Let’s add three mass measurements.

• The measurement 106.7 g has the greatest uncertainty (± 0.1 g).

• The correct answer is 107.1 g.

106.7 g

0.25 g

+ 0.195 g

107.145 g

EXAMPLE 2.5 Addition/Subtraction and Rounding Off

In addition or subtraction operations, the answer is limited by the measurement with the most uncertainty.

Since 30.5 mL has the most uncertainty (±0.1 mL), we round off to one decimal place. The answer is 5.0 mL and is read “five point zero milliliters.”

Solution

Add or subtract the following measurements and round off your answer:

35.45 mL – 30.5 mL

EXERCISE 2.5 Addition/Subtraction and Rounding Off

Add or subtract the following measurements and round off your answer:

(a) 8.6 cm + 50.05 cm (b) 34.1 s – 0.55 s

Practice Exercise

Multiplying and Dividing Measurements

When multiplying or dividing measurements, the answer is limited by the value with the fewest significant figures.

Let’s multiply two length measurements:

(5.15 cm)(2.3 cm) = 11.845 cm2

The measurement 2.3 cm has the fewest significant digits—two.

The correct answer is 12 cm2.

27

EXAMPLE 2.6 Multiplication/Division and Rounding Off

In multiplication and division operations, the answer is limited by the measurement with the least number of significant digits.

(a) In this example, 50.5 cm has three significant digits and 12 cm has two.

(50.5 cm) (12 cm) = 606 cm2

The answer is limited to two significant digits and rounds off to 610 cm2 after inserting a placeholder zero. The answer is read “six hundred and ten square centimeters.”

Solution

Multiply or divide the following measurements and round off your answer:(a) 50.5 cm 12 cm (b) 103.37 g/20.5 mL

EXAMPLE 2.6 Multiplication/Division and Rounding Off

(b) In this example, 103.37 g has five significant digits and 20.5 mL has three.The answer is limited to three significant digits and rounds off to 5.04 g/mL. Notice that the unit is a ratio; the answer is read as “five point zero four grams per milliliter.”

EXERCISE 2.6 Multiplication/Division and Rounding Off

Multiply or divide the following measurements and round off your answer.

(a)(359 cm) (0.20 cm)

(b) 73.950 g/25.5 mL

Practice Exercise

Exponential Numbers

Exponents are used to indicate that a number has been multiplied by itself.

Exponents are written using a superscript; thus, (2)(2)(2) = 23.

The number 3 is an exponent and indicates that the number 2 is multiplied by itself 3 times. It is read “2 to the third power” or “2 cubed”.

(2)(2)(2) = 23 = 8

31

Powers of 10 A power of 10 is a number that results when

10 is raised to an exponential power. The power can be positive (number greater

than 1) or negative (number less than 1).

32

EXAMPLE 2.7 Converting to Powers of 10

The power of 10 indicates the number of places the decimal point has been moved.(a) We must move the decimal five places to the left; thus, 1 105.(b) We must move the decimal eight places to the right; thus, 1 10–8.

Solution

Express each of the following ordinary numbers as a power of 10:(a)100,000(b)0.000 000 01

EXERCISE 2.7 Converting to Powers of 10

Express each of the following ordinary numbers as a power of 10:

3 cm?

Concept Exercise

EXAMPLE EXERCISE 2.8 Converting to Ordinary Numbers

The power of 10 indicates the number of places the decimal point has been moved.(a) The exponent in 1 104 is positive 4, and so we must move the decimal point four places to the right of 1, thus, 10,000.(b) The exponent in 1 10–9 is negative 9, and so we must move the decimal point nine places to the left of 1, thus, 0.000 000 001.

Solution

Express each of the following powers of 10 as an ordinary number:(a) 1 104 (b)1 10–9s

EXAMPLE EXERCISE 2.8 Converting to Ordinary Numbers

Scientific Notation Numbers in science are often very large

or very small. To avoid confusion, we use scientific notation.

Scientific notation utilizes the significant digits in a measurement followed by a power of 10. The significant digits are expressed as a number between 1 and 10.

37

D.DD x 10n

significant digits

Applying Scientific Notation

To use scientific notation, first place a decimal after the first nonzero digit in the number followed by the remaining significant digits.

Indicate how many places the decimal is moved by the power of 10. A positive power of 10 indicates that the

decimal moves to the left. A negative power of 10 indicates that

the decimal moves to the right.38

Scientific Notation, Continued

There are 26,800,000,000,000,000,000,000

helium atoms in 1.00 L of helium gas. Express the number in scientific

notation.

Place the decimal after the 2, followed by the other significant digits.

Count the number of places the decimal has moved to the left (22). Add the power of 10 to complete the scientific notation.

1.40 x 10-7 m

EXAMPLE EXERCISE 2.9 Scientific Notation

We can write each value in scientific notation as follows:(a) Place the decimal after the 2, followed by the other significant digits (2.68). Next, count the number of places the decimal has moved. The decimal is moved to the left 22 places, so the exponent is +22. Finally, we have the number of helium atoms in 1.00 L of gas: 2.68 1022 atoms.(b) Place the decimal after the 6, followed by the other significant digits (6.65). Next, count the number of places the decimal has shifted. The decimal has shifted 24 places to the right, so the exponent is –24. Finally, we have the mass of a helium atom: 6.65 10–24 g.

Solution

Express each of the following values in scientific notation:(a) There are 26,800,000,000,000,000,000,000 helium atoms in a one liter balloon filled with helium gas.(b) The mass of one helium atom is 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 000 006 65 g.

Scientific Calculators A scientific calculator has an exponent key

(often “EXP” or “EE”) for expressing powers of 10.

If your calculator reads 7.45 E-17, the proper way to write the answer in scientific notation is 7.45 x 10-17. To enter the number in your

calculator, type 7.45, then press

the exponent button (“EXP” or “EE”), and type in the exponent (17 followed by the +/– key).

Unit Equations

A unit equation is a simple statement of two equivalent quantities.

For example: 1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

Also, we can write: 1 minute = 1/60 of an hour

1 second = 1/60 of a minute44

Unit Factors

A unit conversion factor, or unit factor, is a ratio of two equivalent quantities.

For the unit equation 1 hour = 60 minutes, we can write two unit factors:

1 hour or 60 minutes60 minutes 1 hour

Unit Analysis Problem Solving

An effective method for solving problems in science is the unit analysis method.

It is also often called dimensional analysis or the factor-label method.

There are three steps to solving problems using the unit analysis method.

48

Steps in the Unit Analysis Method

1. Write down the unit asked for in the answer.

2. Write down the given value related to the answer.

3. Apply a unit factor to convert the unit in the given value to the unit in the answer.

EXAMPLE EXERCISE 2.11 Unit Analysis Problem Solving

We should apply the unit factor 1 qt/32 fl oz to cancel fluid ounces , which appears in the denominator.

The given value, 12 fl oz, limits the answer to two significant digits. Since the unit factor 1 qt/32 fl oz is derived from an exact equivalent, 1 qt = 32 fl oz, it does not affect the significant digits in the answer.

Critical Thinking: Units

When discussing measurements, it is critical that we use the proper units.

NASA engineers mixed metric and English units when designing software for the Mars Climate Orbiter. The engineers used kilometers rather than

miles. 1 kilometer is 0.62 mile. The spacecraft approached too close to the

Martian surface and burned up in the atmosphere.

The Percent Concept

A percent, %, expresses the amount of a single quantity compared to an entire sample.

A percent is a ratio of parts per 100 parts.

Chapter Summary

A measurement is a number with an attached unit.

All measurements have uncertainty.

The uncertainty in a measurement is dictated by the calibration of the instrument used to make the measurement.

Every number in a recorded measurement is a significant digit.

70

Chapter Summary, Continued

Placeholding zeros are not significant digits.

If a number does not have a decimal point, all nonzero numbers and all zeros between nonzero numbers are significant.

If a number has a decimal place, significant digits start with the first nonzero number and all digits to the right are also significant.

71


When adding and subtracting numbers, the answer is limited by the value with the most uncertainty.

When multiplying and dividing numbers, the answer is limited by the number with the fewest significant figures.

When rounding numbers, if the first nonsignificant digit is less than 5, drop the nonsignificant figures. If the number is 5 or more, raise the first significant number by 1, and drop all of the nonsignificant digits.

72


Exponents are used to indicate that a number is multiplied by itself n times.

Scientific notation is used to express very large or very small numbers in a more convenient fashion.

Scientific notation has the form D.DD x 10n, where D.DD are the significant figures (and is between 1 and 10) and n is the power of ten.

73


A unit equation is a statement of two equivalent quantities.

A unit factor is a ratio of two equivalent quantities.

Unit factors can be used to convert measurements between different units.

A percent is the ratio of parts per 100 parts.
