Metric System and SI
The metric system was invented by scientistswho wanted a rational system of units for use inscientific measurements.
Originally based on measurements of the earthand the properties of gases and liquid water.
Systme International (SI, aka mks): a
consistent set of metric units for which baseunits include the metre, kg and second.
(In the cgs system--also metric, used in Britain--units are derived from cm, gram, and second.)

The Metre: SI Unit of Length
The metre was originally (late1700s) based onmeasurements of the earth:
1 metre = 1 ten -millionth ofthe distance along the primemeridian from the north pole to
the equator.
(New definition: the distance light travelsin a vacuum in 3.335 640 95 ns.)

Volume and Mass The SI unit of volume is
the cubic metre (m 3). It is not a convenient
measure of milk from the
grocers. The litre (L) is a derived
volume unit, equivalent toa cube that is 0.1m x 0.1mx 0.1m = 10 -3 m 3.
{It is not SI.}

The kilogram (kg) was originally defined asthe mass of 1 L of pure water at 4 C.

Derived SI Unitse.g. What is the SI unit of momentum?
We know that r = mv.v = speed = change in distance per unit time
Base unit of distance is m, time is s ; SIunit of v = m s -1
m = mass; base unit is kg
Hence, the SI unit of momentum is kg m s -1
Show that a kg m s -1 is the same as a N s

Solving Problems with SI Units
(0) Read the question carefully.(1) Decide on an approach (choose equation).(2) Convert all given quantities to SI units.
(3) Substitute all converted values WITHUNITS into equation. Make sure thatdimensional analysis gives reasonable final
units.(4) Enter numbers into calculator and crunch.(5) Convert answer to units required by
question (if necessary).

Example
What is the pressure in bar of 1.30 mol ofideal gas at 25 C in a 1.62 L vessel?
(1) Decide on approach: Ideal gas law
PV = nRT
R = gas constant = 8.31441 J K -1mol -1 (SI)
8/13/2019 Chemistry - Measurement
19/36
(2) Convert Units to SIn = 1.30 mol (already SI)T = t(K/ C) + 273.15 K
= 298.15 KV = (1.62 L)x(10 -3 m3/L) = 1.62 x 10 -3 m3
(3) Enter Values WITH UNITSP = nRT/V
= (1.30 mol)(8.31441 J K -1mol -1) (298.15 K)(1.62x10 -3 m3)
= 1.99 x10 6 J m -3 = 1.99 x 10 6 N m m -3 = 1.99 x10 6 N m -2 = 1.99 x 10 6 Pa

The answer should be in Pa because Pa is theSI unit of pressure, and we used SI units
throughout calculation.
Carrying the units through is a good check ofthe method.
(4) Convert to desired units (bar)
1 bar = 105
PaP = (1.99 x 10 6 Pa)x(1 bar)/(10 5 Pa)
= 19.9 bar (Final answer)

Dimensional Analysis The conversion of units in steps 2, 3, and 4 is
referred to as dimensional analysis. I recommend two levels of dimensional
analysis:
Conversion of quantities given to SI unitsBEFORE beginning the calculation
Dimen. analysis during calculation as a check
The two levels builds redundancy into yourcalculation. This will help you to avoid sillyerrors.
Remember: the tests in this course aremultiple choice-- accuracy counts !

ExampleThe work of expansion , w, when a gas expandsby an amount, V, against a constant externalpressure, P ext , is
w = - P ext Vwhere negative values indicate work done on the
surroundings.

How NOT to Proceed:
= - (3.55)(5.00 - 2.00)= - 10.65
No units for given quantities or for answer
No consideration of significant figures No thought about dimensional analysis at all
INCORRECT!
w = - P ext V= - P ext(V f - V i)
8/13/2019 Chemistry - Measurement
24/36
The Right WayConvert units to SIP ext = (3.55 atm) (101 325 Pa/atm) = 3.597 x 10 5 Pa
V = V f - V i = 5.00 L - 2.00 L = 3.00 L= (3.00 L)x(1 m 3/1000 L) = 3.00 x 10 -3 m 3
Substitute values WITH UNITSw = - P ext V = -(3.597 x 10 5 Pa)(3.00 x 10 -3 m 3)
= - 1.08 x 10 3 Pam 3 = - 1.08 x 10 3 Nm -2 m 3 = - 1.08 x 10 3 Nm = - 1.08 x 10 3 J

Conversion factors are equivalentto multiplying by 1
e.g. Convert 8.00 inch-lbs into Nm:
lbin00.8
in1
cm54.2
cm100
m1
lb1
N44822.4
= 0.904 Nm
Notes:(1) Converting units does not change the quantity, only its
appearance.(2) The precision in the 1 st and 2 nd conversion factors is infinite.(3) The precision in the answer is 3 figures because of 8.00.

Precision and Accuracy
Precision: is a measure of reproducibilityof a measurement.
Accuracy: is a measure of the deviationfrom the true value of a measurement.
A measurement can be precise withoutbeing accurate, but not the other wayaround.

Counting numbers e.g. If you have 2 shoes, the 2 has no error
Defined scalar quantities The value of a dime is exactly 10 cents
Defined conversion factors There are exactly 2.54 cm per inch There are exactly 101 325 Pa per atm

Rules for Significant Figures(1) All non-zero digits in a value are significant.(2) Zeros between 2 sig. figs are significant.(3) Zeros at the end of a value after the decimal
place are significant; e.g. 0. 200 has 3 sig.
figs.(4) Leading zeros are not significant; e.g.0.00 200 has 3 significant figures.
(5) Zeros at the end of a value with no decimal
place are ambiguous. Best to write thesenumbers in scientific notation; e.g. 13,7 00 has either 3, 4, or 5 sig. figs, but 1.370 x 10 4 has 4 sig. figs.

Sig. Figs and Calculations
Multiplication and Division: The result is reported with the same number of
significant digits as appear in the measurementwith the fewest significant digits.
e.g. (0.234 m)x(10.01 m) = 2.3423 m 2 = 2.34 m 2
Addition and Subtraction: The result is reported with the precision of the
least precise measurement. e.g. 10.01 m + 0.234 m = 10.244 m = 10.24 m

Examples
1. V = (1.15 m)(6.01 m)(22.0 m) + (32.0 m3)= 152.053 m 3 + 32.0 m 3
= (a) 184 m 3 (b) 184.1 m 3 (c) 1.8 x 10 2 m3?
ANS: (a) 184 m3
Three significant figures: 1 st term = 152 m 3.Significant figures follow rules of order of
operations.

(b) 0.184 m 3 (c) 0.18 m 3?
ANS: (c) 0.18 m3Two sig. figs because 0.016 m has two figures.
Terms are additive only if they have the same units.

Rules for Rounding Off
ONLY ROUND OFF AT THE END OF ACALCULATION
If the numeral to the right of the lastsignificant figure is < 5, then rounding isnot required; the value is simply truncated: e.g. 6.02249 N = 6.022 N
If the numeral to the right of the last sig.fig. is 5, then round up: e.g. 6.02157 N = 6.022 N
