U1D8: Scientific Notation: How to write very large and very small numbers Agenda: 1.Complete Al Foil Lab data collection (15 minutes) 2.Significant figure Review WS and Checkpoint 3.You will be able to write very large and very small numbers proficiently. 4.Review 1 Do Now: 1. Density Lab out: Complete Measures. 2. Complete Density Lab Do Now (turn over when done)
5
Aluminum Foil Lab Due Monday (Day 11)…Don’t Forget… People still owe Measurement Lab , Safety Lab and Sci Method Lab 5

What is the rule if….. 1.0.03 kg = 3 x 10 -2 kg 2.15 000 000 m = 1.5 x 10 7 m 3.435 000 L = 4.35 x 10 5 L 4.0. 000 000 973 g = 9.73 x 10 -7 g Rule: Pos exponent = large number Neg exponent = small number (less than 1) # btwn 1 and 10 (w/ approp sig fig) Base number = 10 6
7
Scientific Notation Scientists like to be ‘efficient’, and have an easier way to express those loooong numbers 7
8
Scientific Notation SCIENTIFIC NOTATION: Expressing a number as a multiple of a power of ten. Used to take looooong numbers and compress them so that they can be more easily calculated. 300 000 000 m/s 3 x 10 8 m/s 8
9
Handling Large Numbers Take the significant figures from the number, put them into the form N.NNN X 10 x x, – Place a decimal so the # is between 1 and 10 – “x” represents the number of decimal places moved Include ALL OF THE SIG FIGS! 9

. So… World Population: 7 042 000 000 people In sci notation: _____________________ Practice: Sci Notation 1.5400 2.9 076 000 3.100500 4.7 00Ō 000 10
11
What if you’re given Sci. Not.???? Put in decimal form.. 1.5.4 x 10 5 2.7.06 x 10 7 3.1.5 x 10 3 4.9.800 x 10 9 * remember rules of Sig Figs 11
12
Handling small numbers Sig figs written as a number between 1 and 10 Exponent is NEGATIVE x 10 –x (moved from the left) Practice: Sci Notation 1.0.00060 2.0.0304 3.0.000 000 000 15 4.0.000 070 040 12
13
Handling small numbers 0.0020 2.0 (must include the 0 because it is a sig fig) Count from the 2 back to the 0 in the one’s place…. Three places The 3 will be negative and we get… 2.0 x 10 -3 13
14
Converting to decimals Reverse procedure 8 x 10 -3 8 is 3 places from the ones place 0.008 Put in decimal form.. 1.1.7 x 10 -3 ________________________ 2.1.004 x 10 -5 _______________________ 3.17.0 x 10 -8 ________________________ 4.0.43 x 10 -9 ________________________ * remember rules of Sig Figs 14
15
Lets play; “Which number is larger?!” A: 2.0 x 10 2 or B: 2.0 x 10 -2 Positive exponents are larger than negative ones (they’re decimals!) A: 1.3 x 10 3 or B: 1.3 x 10 5 For positives, the bigger the exponent, the bigger the number A: 2.6 x 10 -1 or B: 2.6 x 10 -6 For negatives, the smaller the exponent, the larger the number 15
16
Right or Wrong? What’s the error?? 1.0.005675.7 x 10 -3 2.90370009.037000 x 10 6 3.23 000 23.0 x 10 -3 4.4.90 x 10 5 490 000. 5.1.056 x 10 -6 0.000001056 6.7.000 x 10 -2 0.07 16
17
Complete Scientific Notation WS Have me check your answers when done, then move onto Practice #4 17

C) Ksp is a measurement of the solubility of a salt. The larger the value of Ksp is, the more salt can dissolve in water. 1)4.3 X 10 -6 2) 5.7 X 10 -7 3) 9.8 X 10 -8 4) 3.2 x 10 -9 a) Which of the following Ksp values would indicate the salt with the highest solubility? _______ b) Which of the following Ksp values would indicate the salt with the lowest solubility? _______ c) Explain how you answered a and b. 20
