Scientific Notation Review Often used to express very large or very small numbers. Also used to maintain correct number of significant figures. Form: (# from 1 to 9.999) x 10exponent 800 2531 0.0014 = 8 x 10 x 10 = 8 x 102 = 2.531 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 2.531 x 103 = 1.4 x 10-3 = 1.4 / 10 / 10 / 10
Scientific Notation Practice Change the given number to standard form. 1.87 x 10–5 = 3.7 x 108 = 7.88 x 101 = 2.164 x 10–2 = 000000187000000 0.0000187 370,000,000 78.8 0.02164 (+) exponent = number > 1 (-) exponent = number < 1
Scientific Notation Practice Change the given number into scientific notation. 12,340 = 0.369 = 0.008 = 1,000,000,000 = 1.234 x 104 3.69 x 10–1 8 x 10–3 1 x 109
Significant Figures about… A student is combining separate water samples, all of differing volumes, into one large bucket. Samples A, B and C are 25.5 mL, 16.37 mL and 51 mL, respectively. Once combined, what is the total volume of all the samples? NO! 92.87 mL Because the samples were each measured with a different level of precision, we must factor that into our calculations by identifying what are called significant figures.
Measurement and Accuracy • The last digit of any measured number is assumed to be an estimate (uncertain) • The second to last digit is assumed to be known with certainty (based on a line) A (25.5 mL) B (16.37 mL) C (51 mL) 60 26 50 16.4 25 16.3
Identifying Significant Figures Counting SF’s in a number Non-zero numbers:ALWAYScount as SF Zeroes Left: NEVER count as SF (0.000345) Middle: ALWAYS count as SF (5001) Right: sometimes… w/ decimal point: count as SF (25.10) w/o decimal point: DO NOT count as SF (8200) Exact Numbers: IGNORE SF Counts (28 students in this class) Constants (1 mol = 6.022 x 1023) Conversions (1 in = 2.54 cm) Relative to the non-zero numbers.
How many Sig Figs? Measurement Number of SF Measurement Number of SF 0.12 kg 1240560. cm 6000000 kg 6.00 x 106 kg 409 cm 29.200 dm 0.02500 g 2 2 7 1 5 4 4 25 g 0.030 kg 1.240560 x 106 mg 6 x 104 sec 246.31 g 20.06 cm 1.050 m 2 7 1 3 3 5 4
Sig Figs with Calculations Note: For any calculations, always perform the entire calculation without rounding, and then round the final answer. Addition/Subtraction • Round the answer to the LEAST number of decimal places found (least precise) 11.31 + 33.264 + 4.1 = 48.674 Multiplication/Division • Round the answer to the smallest number of SF found 5.282 x 3.42 = 18.06444 → rounded to 48.7 → rounded to 18.1 (3.42 only has 3 SF)
Back to the original question… A student is combining separate water samples, all of differing volumes, into one large bucket. Samples A, B and C are 25.5 mL, 16.37 mL and 51 mL, respectively. Once combined, what is the total volume of all the samples? 25.5 mL + 16.37 mL + 51 mL = 92.87 mL 93 mL Could I write that as 93.0? NO!
More practice with SF If you made measurements of three samples of water (128.7 mL, 18 mL and 23.45 mL), and then poured all of the water together in one, unmarked container, what total volume of water should you report? Support your answer. 128.7 mL + 18 mL + 23.45 mL = 170.15 mL 170. mL or 1.70 x 102 mL
Practice with Sig Fig Calculations A A A A A = -6.118 x 10-9 report -6 x 10-9 (1 SF) = 3.63 x 109 report 3.6 x 109 (2 SF) = 15.563 report 15.6 (tenths place) = 16.27 report 20(tens place) = 1.7225 x 10-5 report 1.7 x 10-5 (2 SF) Complete calculation, and then follow order of operations to determine how many SF would be carried for each step

Reporting Measurements • Must use significant figures • Report what is known with certainty Using dashes • Add ONE digit of uncertainty beyond that Using estimation The implication is that for any measurement, the last digit is an estimate and uncertain, and the next to last is known with certainty Davis, Metcalfe, Williams, Castka, Modern Chemistry, 1999, page 46

Practical Conversions Teachers get a lot of grief from normal workers because they only work 36 weeks a year. How many extra hours, per day, would a teacher have to put in to match the typical worker, assuming a teacher works 8 hrs per day for those 36 weeks? What assumptions must we make?
