Chemistry 11 Unit 2

 Chemistry: the study of matter and the changes that matter may undergo.  Matter: anything that has mass and volume a) Solid - Fixed shape & volume - Fixed shape & volume b) Liquid - Fixed volume - Shape of the container - Fixed volume - Shape of the container c) Gas - Shape and volume of the container - Shape and volume of the container

Qualitative Observations: Characteristics that can be observed without the need for calculation and measurement. eg: Colour, texture, shape. Quantitative Observations: Characteristics that requires measuring. eg: temperature, volume, mass, length Complete the Warm-up Questions on P.16

 Useful to express very large and very small numbers.  Consists of 2 parts: Mantissa (Decimal portion): A number between 1 and 10. (rewrite the number with the decimal after the first non-zero digit) Ordinate (Exponent portion): The base 10 raised to some power. (What you need to multiply the mantissa by) x mantissaordinate

Positive exponents = large numbers (greater than mantissa) Negative exponents = small numbers (smaller than mantissa) x x x Using your calculator, solve the following without using brackets: x 10 6 ÷ 2.46 x = x 10 10

Your Calculator and Scientific Notation: Your Calculator should have one of the following 3 buttons to allow for entering numbers in scientific notation: ExpEEE or To enter x 10 6 you would press the following keys: 4.325Exp EE E 6

To enter 2.46 x you would press the following keys: 2.46 (-)(-) Exp EE E 6 +/- Now try the question again! x 10 6 ÷ 2.46 x = x 10 10
