Mathematics in Chemistry
Math is a very important tool, used in all of the sciences to model results and explain observations.
Chemistry in particular requires a lot of calculations before even trivial experiments can be performed. In this first exercise you will be introduced to some of the very basic calculations you will be required to perform in lab during the entire semester.
Remember, if you start memorizing rules and formulas now, you don’t have to do it the night before your exams!

Units
Units are very important! Units give dimension to numbers. They also allow us to use dimensional analysis in
our calculations. If a unit belongs next to a number, place it there!!! Example: 6.23 mL The unit “mL” indicates to us that our measurement
is a metric system volume and indicates to us the order of magnitude of that volume.
Common units, equations, and conversions are given on p. 30 of your lab manual.

Rounding
When you have to round to a certain number, to obey significant figure rules, remember to do the following:
For numbers 1 through 4 in the rounding position, round down For numbers 6 through 9 in the rounding position, round up For numbers with a terminal 5 in the rounding position, round to the
nearest even number. 0.01255 rounded to three significant digits becomes 0.01260.01265 rounded to three significant digits becomes 0.01260.01275 rounded to three significant digits becomes 0.01280.012851 rounded to three significant digits becomes ?
Why is this method statistically more correct?

Digits of Precision and Significant Figures All measurements have some degree of
uncertainty due to limitations of measuring devices.
Scientists have come up with a set of rules we can follow to easily specify the exact digits of precision and amount of significant figures, without sacrificing the accuracy of the measuring devices.

Graphing: Coordinates
A coordinate set consists of an x-value and y-value, plotted as a point on a graph.
X-values: domain (independent variable) Y-values: range (dependent variable)

Graphing: Axes
Multiple axes on a graph Coordinate sets determine the number of
axes on a plot Two dimensional graphs have only two
axesX-axisY-axis
Each axis must have a consistent scale

Graphing in Chemistry
Graph title reflects the:
Dependent vs. Independent variables X-axis – labeled appropriately with
variable and unit Y-axis – labeled appropriately with variable
and unit Each axis has a consistent scale

Graphing in Chemistry
Coordinate sets are plotted x-variable matching the x-value on the x-axisy-variable matching the y-value on the y-axisA single point results
A line is drawn through all the points An equation is derived from two coordinate
sets The equation is used to find unknowns

Graphing: Equations
Of the form y = mx + bm = slope of the graphb = y-intercept of the graphx = any x-value from the graphy = corresponding y-coordinate
Your manual has sample calculations to derive the slope and y-intercept from two coordinate sets
