"In physical science the first essential step in the direction of learning any subject is to find principles of numerical reckoning and practicable methods for measuring some quality connected with it.
I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the state of Science, whatever the matter may be."
Lord Kelvin, "Electrical Units of Measurement", 1883-05-03

Note About Math & ChemistryNote About Math & Chemistry
Numbers and mathematics are an inherent and unavoidable part of general chemistry. Students must possess secondary algebra skills and the ability to recognize orders of magnitude quickly with respect to numerical information to assure success in this course.
The material presented in this chapter is considered to be prerequisite to this course.

The base unit of length in the metric system is the metermeter..
Depending on the object measured, the meter is scaled accordingly.

EnergyEnergy is confined as the capacity to do work.The SI unite for energy is the joulejoule (J).
Energy is also measured in calories (cal)1 cal = 4.184J

The Standard Deviation Standard Deviation of a series of measurements is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the deviations for each measurement from the average divided by one less than the number of measurements (n).
Measurements are often reported to the standard deviation to report the precision of a measurement.

• Problem solving in chemistry requires “critical thinking skills”.
• Most questions go beyond basic knowledge and comprehension. (Who is buried in Grant’s tomb?)
• You must first have a plan to solve a problem before you plug in numbers.
• You must evaluate the result to see if it makes sense. (units, order of magnitude)
• You must also practice to become proficient because...
Chem – is – tryChem – is – try

• Before starting a problem, devise a “Strategy MapStrategy Map”.
• Use this to collect the information given to work your way through the problem.
• Solve the problem using Dimensional Analysis.
• Check to see that you have the correct units along the way.
