Uncertainty in Measurement 1)20.15 mL 2)20.14 mL 3)20.16 mL 4)20.17 mL 5)20.16 mL uncertain digit certain digits
10
Significant figures automatically indicate the uncertainty in a measurement. 20.15 mL4 significant figures The last digit is usually assumes to be
11
Another way to write uncertainty
12
All measurements have some degree of uncertainty!
13
In analyzing a soil sample, a soil scientist measures 15.00 g sample. Later the scientist uses a scale which measures 15 g. What is the difference between the measurements 15.00 g and 15 g?
14
15.00 g –M–Means –M–Measurement is between 14.99 g and 15.01 g. 15 g –M–Means –M–Measurement is between 14 g and 16 g

19
Accuracy The agreement of a particular value with the true value. Precision The degree of agreement among several measurements of the same quantity

Significant Figure Review 1.Nonzero integers always count as sig figs. 1465 893 21
21
Sig Fig Review 2.Leading Zeros Zeros that precede nonzero digits do not count as sig figs. 0.0034 0.89 0.00255
22
Sig Fig Review 3.Captive Zeros Zeros that are between nonzero digits always count as sig figs 1.005 409 2004
23
Sig Fig Review 4.Trailing Zeros Zeros at the right end of a number are significant if there is a decimal present. 100.0 20 4000 1.00 x 10 2

Atlantic Pacific Rule 1.00 0.50050 100 50050
25
Sig Fig Review 5.Exact Numbers If a measuring device was not used, then the number is an exact number. Counting: 10 apples Defined Quantities: 1 inch = 2.54 cm Numbers in Formulas: 2 πr (The 2)
26
Sig Figs & Calculations 1.Multiplication & Division Round to the least precise measurement used in the calculation. 4.88 x 1.5 = 7.327.3
27
Sig Figs & Calculations 2.Addition & Subtraction The result has the same number of decimal places as the least precise measuremnt. 12. 00 + 6.001 = 18.00118.00
28
Rules for Rounding 1.In a series of calculations, carry the extra digits through to the final result, then round.
29
Rules for Rounding 2.When you round, –i–if the digit to the right of the final sig fig is less than 5, then the preceding digit stays the same. 6.226.2 –I–If the digits is equal to or greater than 5, then the preceding digit should be increased by 1. 4.574.6
