Using Scientific Measurements
2.3
2
Objective/Warm-Up SWBAT identify and calculate significant figures and use scientific notation. What is the correct measurement for this buret? 4.85 mL
3
Notes-Accuracy Word/Phrase: Definition: Hints or diagram:
Meaning in My own words: How close the measurement is to the real, true, or correct value accuracy
4
Notes-Precision Word/Phrase: Definition: Hints or diagram:
Meaning in My own words: precision How close measurements are to each other
5
Add your own What would a picture look like that is neither precise nor accurate?
7
Percent Error Always some error in a measurement
Instrument, limits of measurer, calibrations % error – calculated by the following formula… % error = Valueexp – Valueacc x 100 Valueacc
8
Objective/Warm-Up SWBAT review dimensional analysis,
density, and metric conversions. Record the measurement for each cylinder.
9
Significant Figures Sig figs – all the digits known with certainty plus one final digit, which is somewhat estimated or uncertain Graduated cylinder example 42.5 mL - the 5 is the estimated number
10
Rules for Determining Sig. Figs.
All non zero digits are significant Zeros at the end only count if there is a decimal point Decimal = go to 1st non zero and count everything to the right Exact numbers have infinite significant figures (1m = 1000mm) Calculators exaggerate precision
11
Sig. Fig Examples How many sig figs are in… 203000 1000.00 0.00052
79.810

13
Objective/Warm-Up How many significant figures in these numbers?
SWBAT review conversions and SI units. What is the measurement shown in the graduated cylinder? How many significant figures in these numbers? 5.0070 3.4000 3500
14
Objective/Warm-Up SWBAT accurately and precisely measure volume and calculate using scientific notation. How many sig figs are in… 203000 79.810
15
Significant Figures Multiplication and division sig. figs = answer has no more figs. than the msmt. with the least # of sig. figs. #’s x #’s #’s = 14.24
16
Multiply/Divide with Sig Figs
Your answer must have the same number of sig figs as the measurement with the fewest number of sig figs. Calculate the volume if L = 3.65 cm, W = 3.20 cm, and H = 2.05 cm V = cm3, after rounding to the correct number of sig figs, V=23.9 cm3
17
Significant Figures Addition and subtraction = answer has no more numbers to the right of the decimal pt. than the number with the least numbers to the right of the decimal 2.8 79 = 220.4
18
Addition/Subtraction with Sig Figs
Your answer must have the same number of decimal places as the value with the fewest decimal places = 77.218 Round so that the answer is 77.2
19
Check-Up How can we judge accuracy? How can we judge precision?
How do accuracy and precision relate to measurement?
20
Objective/Warm-Up Students will be able to use significant digits and scientific notation in calculations. Warm-Up: Section Review Worksheet

Scientific Notation 29640000000000000000000 copper atoms in 1 penny
2.964 x 1022 atoms 2 Parts to scientific notation # between 1 and 10 Power of 10
22
Scientific Notation We use the idea of exponents to make it easier to work with large and small numbers. 10,000 = 1 X 104 250,000 = 2.5 X 105 Count places to the left until there is one number to the left of the decimal point. 230,000 = ? 35,000 = ?
23
Scientific Notation Continued
= 6 X 10-5 = 4.5 X 10-4 Count places to the right until there is one number to the left of the decimal point 0.003 = ? = ?
24
Scientific Notation Examples
Change from scientific notation the distance from Pluto to the Sun is 5.9×10 12 meters the Milky Way disk radius is 3.9×1020 meters. The speed of light is 3 x 10 8 meters/second. the sun is 1.5x 1011 meters from earth Mass of proton : x kg Mass of neutron: x kg Mass of electron: × 10-31 kg Change into scientific notation kg is the mass of a dust particle A proton has a diameter of approximately mm
25
Positive Exponents 101 = 10 102 = 10X10= 100 103 = 10X10X10 = 1000
26
Negative Exponents 10-1 = 1/10 = 0.1 10-2 = 1/100 = 0.01
10-3 = 1/1000 = 0.001 10-4 = 1/10000 =
27
Quick Review When multiplying: When dividing: Add the exponents
Subtract the exponents
28
Multiplying with Scientific Notation
Add the Exponents 102 X 103 = 105 100 X 1000 = 100,000
29
Multiplying with Scientific Notation
(2.3 X 102)(3.3 X 103) 230 X 3300 Multiply the Coefficients 2.3 X 3.3 = 7.59 Add the Exponents 102 X 103 = 105 7.59 X 105, round to 7.6 x 105
30
Multiplying with Scientific Notation
(4.6 X 104) X (5.5 X 103) = ? (3.1 X 103) X (4.2 X 105) = ?
31
Dividing with Scientific Notation
Subtract the Exponents 104/103 = 101 10000/ 1000 = 10
32
Dividing with Scientific Notation
(3.3 X 104)/ (2.3 X 102) 33000 / 230 = Divide the Coefficients 3.3/ 2.3 = Subtract the Exponents 104 / 102 = 102 X 102, round to 1.4 x 102
33
Dividing with Scientific Notation
(4.6 X 104) / (5.5 X 103) = ? (3.1 X 103) / (4.2 X 105) = ?
34
Wrap-Up Summarize the rules for multiplying and dividing in scientific notation. Why do we use scientific notation?
