3.1 Using and Expressing Measurements > Accuracy, Precision,
and Error
Determining Error
• Suppose you use a thermometer to
measure the boiling point of pure water at
standard pressure.
Determining Error
• There is a difference between the
accepted value, which is the correct value
for the measurement based on reliable
references, and the experimental value,
the value measured in the lab.
Determining Error
15
3.1 Using and Expressing Measurements > Accuracy, Precision,
and Error
Determining Error
• For the boiling-point measurement, the error
is 99.1°C – 100°C, or –0.9°C.
|99.1˚C – 100.0˚C |
= X 100%
100.0 ˚C
0.9°C
_______
= X 100 % = 0.9%

INTERPOLATION AND SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
• What is the volume of water in this graduated cylinder? Always
measure the volume of a liquid at the bottom of the meniscus.
The units are mL.

RULES FOR RECOGNIZING SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
• Non-zero numbers are always significant. 73.3 has 3
significant figures.
• Zeros between nonzero digits are significant. That is,
508 cm has 3 significant figures.
• All final zeros to the right of the decimal place are
significant. 6.20 has 3 significant figures.
• Leading zeroes merely locate the decimal point and
are never significant. That is, 0.0497 cm equals 4.97 x
10-2 cm and has 3 significant figures.
• Trailing zeros are significant as follows: 50.0 mL has 3
significant figures, 50. mL has 2 significant figures, and
50 mL has 1 significant figure.

In carrying out an addition or subtraction,
the answer cannot have more digits after the
decimal point than either of the original
numbers.

3.1 Using and Expressing Measurements >
Density is the measure of the “compactness” of
a material
How close the atoms or
molecules are to each
other
More than “heaviness”
- density includes how
much space an object
takes up!!
All substances have
density including
liquids, solids, and
gases

WHY DO WE CARE?
• Since the measurement is standard, we can use it to
identify an unknown substance.
• Example – You buy what you think is a gold
chain. How can you be sure?
• Compute the density. If it matches the known
density for gold then it is real gold. If not, it is
probably fake.
