- Scientific Notation Review Often used to express very large or
very small numbers. Also used to maintain correct number of
significant figures. Form: (# from 1 to 9.999) x 10 exponent 800
2531 0.0014 = 8 x 10 2 = 8 x 10 x 10 = 2.531 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 2.531
x 10 3 = 1.4 / 10 / 10 / 10 = 1.4 x 10 -3

- Change the given number to standard form. 1.87 x 10 5 = 3.7 x

- Significant Figures A student is combining separate water
samples, all of differing volumes, into one large bucket. Samples
A, B and C are 25.5 mL, 16.37 mL and 51 mL, respectively. Once
combined, what is the total volume of all the samples? 92.87 mL NO!
Because the samples were each measured with a different level of
precision, we must factor that into our calculations by identifying
what are called significant figures. about
- Slide 7
- Measurement and Accuracy The last digit of any measured number
is assumed to be an estimate (uncertain) The second to last digit
is assumed to be known with certainty (based on a line) A (25.5
mL)B (16.37 mL)C (51 mL) 26 25 16.4 16.3 60 50
- Slide 8
- Identifying Significant Figures Counting SFs in a number
Non-zero numbers: ALWAYS count as SF Zeroes Left: NEVER count as SF
(0.000345) Middle: ALWAYS count as SF (5001) Right: sometimes w/
decimal point: count as SF (25.10) w/o decimal point: DO NOT count
as SF (8200) Exact Numbers: IGNORE SF Counts (28 students in this
class) Constants (1 mol = 6.022 x 10 23 ) Conversions (1 in = 2.54
cm) Relative to the non-zero numbers.

- Slide 10
- Sig Figs with Calculations Note: For any calculations, always
perform the entire calculation without rounding, and then round the
final answer. Addition/Subtraction Round the answer to the LEAST
number of decimal places found (least precise) 11.31 + 33.264 + 4.1
= 48.674 Multiplication/Division Round the answer to the smallest
number of SF found 5.282 x 3.42 = 18.06444 rounded to 48.7 rounded
to 18.1 (3.42 only has 3 SF)
- Slide 11
- Back to the original question A student is combining separate
water samples, all of differing volumes, into one large bucket.
Samples A, B and C are 25.5 mL, 16.37 mL and 51 mL, respectively.
Once combined, what is the total volume of all the samples? 25.5 mL
+ 16.37 mL + 51 mL = 92.87 mL 93 mL Could I write that as 93.0?
NO!
- Slide 12
- More practice with SF If you made measurements of three samples
of water (128.7 mL, 18 mL and 23.45 mL), and then poured all of the
water together in one, unmarked container, what total volume of
water should you report? Support your answer. 128.7 mL + 18 mL +
23.45 mL = 170.15 mL 170. mL or 1.70 x 10 2 mL

SF) report 3.6 x 10 9 (2 SF) report 15.6 (tenths place) = 16.27
report 20 (tens place) = 1.7225 x 10 -5 report 1.7 x 10 -5 (2 SF)

follow order of operations to determine how many SF would be

- Reporting Measurements Must use significant figures Report what
is known with certainty Using dashes Add ONE digit of uncertainty
beyond that Using estimation Davis, Metcalfe, Williams, Castka,
Modern Chemistry, 1999, page 46 The implication is that for any
measurement, the last digit is an estimate and uncertain, and the
next to last is known with certainty

- Practical Conversions Teachers get a lot of grief from normal
workers because they only work 36 weeks a year. How many extra
hours, per day, would a teacher have to put in to match the typical
worker, assuming a teacher works 8 hrs per day for those 36 weeks?
What assumptions must we make?
