1.3 P rop er t ies of M a tt er
Properties of matter can be grouped into twocategories:
Phy si cal p rop er t ies : measured and observedwithout changing the composition or identity of asubstance. e.g. color , odor , density , melting point , boiling point.Ch e m ical p rop er t ies : describe how substancesreact or change to form different substances.e.g. hydrogen burning in oxygen.

volume (V)Unit : g/cm 3
Varies with temperature because volume changeswith temperature.
Can be used as a conversion factor to change massto volume and vice versa.Common units :
g/m for l iquid , g/cm 3 for so l id , g/ for gas .

(i) Exa ct n umb ers - those that have defined
values or integers resulting from countingnumbers of objects. e.g. exactly 1000g in akilogram , exactly 2.54 in an inch.(ii) I nexa ct n umb ers - those that obtainedfrom measurements and require judgement.Uncertainties exist in their values.Note : Uncertainties always exist in measuredquantities.

1.5.2 S igni fican t F ig u res
Measured quantities (inexact) are generallyreported in such a way that the last digit is the
first uncertain digit. (2.2405g) All certain digits and the first uncertain digit arereferred to as significant figures.
Ru les:(i) Non-zero numbers are always significant
e.g. 2.86 : has three significant figures.
8/6/2019 Chapter 1 May11

31
Co n t : 1.5.2 S igni fican t F ig u res
(ii) Zeros between non-zero numbers are alwayssignificant. E.g. 1205 has four significant figures.
(iii) Zeros before the first non-zero digit are not significant. E.g. 0.003 : has one significant figure.
(iv) Zeros at the end of a number after a decimalplace are significant.. E.g. 0.0020 : has twosignificant figures.
8/6/2019 Chapter 1 May11

32
Co n t : 1.5.2 S igni fican t F ig u res
(v) Zeros at the end of a number before a decimalplace are ambiguous.
E.g . 100: has one significant number unlessotherwise stated. If it is determined from countingobjects , it has three significant figures.
Method - Scientific notation removes the ambiguity of knowing how many significant figures a number
possesses.

Numbers(i) When the figures immediately following the
last digit to be retained is less than 5 , the last
digit unchanged.e.g. 6.4362 to be rounded off to four significant figures : 6.436(ii) When the figure immediately following the last digit to be retained is greater than 5 , increase thelast retained figure by 1.e.g 6.4366 to be rounded off to four significant figures : 6.437

1.6 D im ensi o nal Anal ysis
Obj e ct ive: To be able to convert different measurement units by using dimensional analysis.Dim ensi o nal Anal ysis is the algebraic processof changing from one system of units to another.Conversion factors are used.
A conversion factor is a fraction whose numerator
and denominator are the same quantity expressedin different units.Given units are being multiplied and divided togive the desired units.
