Scientific Measurements SI Units Significant Figures ALWAYS WRITE YOUR UNITS ON YOUR ANSWER !!!!----units provide meaning to numbers.
4
Significant Figures The number of digits in a scientific measurement known with certainty and one estimated or uncertain digit. Method of reporting scientific measurements and calculations.
5
Significant Figure Basic Rules 1. All numbers that are NOT zeroes are significant Ex. 211, 345 2. All zeroes BETWEEN 2 significant figures are significant. Ex. 2003, 1203 3. All zeros that are FINAL and PAST a decimal are significant. Ex..00020
6
Examples 1) 567 2) 9001 3) 10.020 4) 200
7
Significant Figures: Adding/Subtracting # of digits to RIGHT of decimal = # of digits RIGHT of decimal from number with the LEAST digits. Ex.1 67.14 kg + 8.2 kg = 75.3 kg Ex. 2 101.23 g – 90.614 g = 10.62 g
8
Significant Figures: Multiplying/Dividing # of significant figures = # of significant figures in number with LEAST significant figures. Ex. 1 12.1 / 3.1 = 3.870967742 ~ 3.9 Ex. 2 45.67 * 1.23 = 56.1741 ~ 56.2
9
Rounding Guidelines Rules of “5” > 5, round UP (ex. 56.77---- 56.8) < 5, SAME/no change (ex. 56.74 ----- 56.7)
