Chapter 2 Significant Digits
Taking Measurements • All measurements involve one estimation. • If the measuring device is digital it will take the estimation for you. • If the measuring device is scaled you must take the estimation yourself.
Electronic Measuring Devices • Digital readout measuring diameter of 1.0420 inches. • The last zero is the estimated digit.
Scaled Measuring Devices • Bottom ruler gives a measurement of 8.? cm.
Scaled Measuring Devices • Measure the length of the metal using the top ruler.
Rules for Significant Digits • All non-zero digits are significant.
Rules for Significant Digits • All non-zero digits are significant. • “Trailing”zeros after the decimal point ARE significant.
Rules for Significant Digits • All non-zero digits are significant. • “Trailing”zeros after the decimal point ARE significant. • Zeros between significant digits are significant.
Rules for Significant Digits • All non-zero digits are significant. • “Trailing”zeros after the decimal point ARE significant. • Zeros between significant digits are significant. • All other zeros are NOT significant unless indicated to be so by having a bar placed over them.
How to Determine Significant Digits • Underline the leftmost nonzero digit.
How to Determine Significant Digits • Underline the leftmost nonzero digit. • Use the rules for significant digits to determine the rightmost significant digit.
How to Determine Significant Digits • Underline the leftmost nonzero digit. • Use the rules for significant digits to determine the rightmost significant digit. • Every digit in between the leftmost and rightmost significant digits are significant as well.
