A common number used in chemistry is 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 What is that number in scientific notation? 6.02 x 10 23

4300 505,000 0.0047 2.7 x 10 3 8.8 x 10 -4 1.7 x 10 -1 4.3 x 10 3 5.05 x 10 5 4.7 x 10 -3 2700 0.00088 0.17
5
Every measurement requires two parts. 1) Number 2) Unit Example: 20.0 g 1.22 g/ml Measure to the correct number of decimal places (significant figures)
6
Measure to the number of decimal places that you can read on your ruler, balance, or graduated cylinder. Always measure to one more decimal place. This is the estimated or uncertain digit.
7

8
25.7 cm
9
52.9 ml
10
43.0 ml
11
373.35 g
12
27.70 g
13
All nonzero numbers are significant. Ex: 276 (3 sig figs) 32, 184 (5 sig figs)
14
Zeros between numbers are significant. Ex: 4009 (4 sig figs) 200.05 (5 sig figs)
15
Zeros at the beginning of a number (leading zeros) are NOT significant. Ex: 0.003 (1 sig fig) 0.0000057 (2 sig figs)
16
Zeros at the end of a number without a decimal in the number are NOT significant. Ex: 25, 000 (2 sig figs) 900 (1 sig fig)
17
Zeros at the end of a number with a decimal in the number are significant. Ex: 20.0 (3 sig figs) 0.07300 (4 sig figs)
18
Do not include the exponent in numbers written in scientific notation. Ex: 6.223 x 10 8 (4 sig figs)
19
How many significant figures are in the following measurements? 1) 42.56 g 4 2) 0.00793 3 3) 8000 1 4) 2.70 x 10 9 3
20
Multiplication and Division Your answer should contain the same number of significant figures as the least number of significant figures in the problem. Ex: 45.89 cm x 3.26 cm =? Calculator = 149.6014 Answer = 150. cm 2
21
Ex: 45.98 cm 2 / 5.7 cm = Calculator = 8.06666666…. Answer = 8.1 cm
22
Ex: How many significant figures should you have in your answer to the following problem? 3.75 x 21.489 / 2.73 = 3
23
Your answer should contain the same number of decimal places as the least number of decimal places in the problem. Ex: 18.723 g + 2.11 g = Calculator= 20.833 Answer = 20.83 g
24
285.722 g – 58.1 g = Calculator = 227.622 g Answer = 227.6 g
25
42.675 – 3.91 = 9.8 Subtraction = 38.765 Round off to correct number of decimal places 38.77/9.8 Calculator = 3.956122… Answer = 4.0
