Q

Chemistry is studied by

A
  • Measuring physical properties and observing chemical reactions. (Boiling point, formation of bubbles? change in color so there is a reaction)
  • Supported by facts and evidences

Q

are created to explain observations and organize collected data.

23

recorded via measurements. (Recorded the

A

UNIT OF MEASUREMENTS

25
- how close the observed value is to the “true” value.
Accuracy
26
- the spread in values obtained from measurements; the reproducibility of values. - Trial 4 close to the trial 1,2,,3 - As long as magkalapit ‘yong values REGARDLESS if tama - how close a set of measurements are to each other
Precision
27
- may make a measurement randomly too high or too low. (e.g., variation associated with equipment limitations) - There can be random errors like there is a problem in equipment. - Maling calibration = maling results
Random Error
28
- may make a measurement consistently too high or too low. (e.g., the presence of an impurity) - More on the procedures - Contamination = impurity
Systematic Error
29
fps system (foot – pound – second)
English System or British System
30
cgs system (centimeter-gram – second) mks system (meter – kilogram – second) - SI (Systeme Internationale)
Metric System
31
Chemists quantify data
expressing collected data with units and significant figures.
32
- designate the type of quantity measured. - Units of mass are pound, grams, kilogram - Lengths are meters, millimeters
Units
33
- provide scale to a base unit. - Centi - 100 - Milli - 1000
Prefixes
34
- The base unit designates the type of quantity being measured. - meter
Base Units
35
cm, dm
smallest Scale
36
km
Bigger Scale
37
indicate the amount of information that is reliable when discussing a measurement.
Significant Figure
38
are the base units of science.
SI units (from French Système International)
39
Some units comprise combinations of these base units
derived units
