Accurate or Precise?Accurate or Precise?Accurate measurements are close to the actual or accepted value.
Precise measurements are close to one another.
More than one measurement must be taken to determine if the measurements are precise.
Pause for a Cause Accuracy and Precision
A handbook gives the density of calcium as 1.54 g/cm3. A student runs three experiments and determines the density to be 2.25 g/cm3, 2.28 g/cm3 and 2.20 g/cm3. Discuss this student’s accuracy and precision.
A student measures the mass of a sample as 9.67 grams, 9.99 grams and 8.85 grams. The actual mass is 7.50 grams. Discuss this student’s accuracy and precision.

Now Let’s Do Metrics the Right Way!
Practice Conversion Factors
Express a mass of 5.712 grams in milligrams.
Given: 5.712 g
Unknown: mass in mg
quantity given × conversion factor = quantity sought
Conversion Factor 1 g = 1,000 mg
5.712 g 1000 mg
1 g= 5712 mg
Practice Conversion Factors
Express a mass of 5.712 grams in kilograms.
quantity given × conversion factor = quantity sought
5.712 g 1 kg
1000 g= 0.005712 kg

What does density describe?
Density describes how tightly
particles are packed within a
sample of matter.
Density
The ratio of mass to volume, or mass divided by volume.
Density = mass
volumeD =
mV
Density
• A measure of how closely matter is packed into a volume.
• Unique for each compound.– Density of water is 1.00 g/mL at 25˚C.– Increasing temperature decreases the density, so
densities are given with temperatures.• An intensive property.• Substances that are less dense float in
substances more dense.
