Measurement Systems Why do we need a measurement system?
Scientific Notation • A way to write very large and very small numbers. • A number in scientific notation is written in two parts, the coefficient and an exponent of 10. 5 x 1022 coefficient exponent of 10
Scientific Notation • Changing standard numbers to scientific notation • Numbers greater than 10 • Move decimal until only ONE number is to the left of the decimal. • The exponent is the number of places the decimal has moved and it is POSITIVE. • Ex. 125 = • 15,000,000,000 = 1.25 102 1.5 1010
Scientific Notation • Changing standard numbers to scientific notation • Numbers less than 1 • Move decimal until only one number is to the left of the decimal. • The exponent is the number of places the decimal has moved and it is NEGATIVE. • Ex. 0.000189 = • 0.5476 = 1.89 10-4 5.476 10-1
Scientific Notation • Changing standard numbers to scientific notation • To change a number written in incorrect scientific notation: • Move the decimal until only one number is to the left of the decimal. • Correct the exponent. (remember: take away, add back) • Ex. 504.2 106 = • 0.0089 10-2 = 5.042 108 The coefficient decreased by 2, so the exponent must increase by 2 8.9 10-5 The coefficient increased by 3, so the exponent must decrease by 3
Scientific Notation • Changing numbers in scientific notation to standard notation • If the exponent is (+) move the decimal to the right the same number of places as the exponent. • 1.65 101 = 16.5 • 1.65 103 = 1650 • If the exponent is (-) move the decimal to the left the same number of places as the exponent. • 4.6 10-2 = 0.046 • 1.23 10-3 = 0.00123
Scientific Notation • Multiplication and Division in Scientific Notation • To multiply numbers in scientific notation • Multiply the coefficients. • Add the exponents. • Convert the answer to correct scientific notation. • Ex: (2 109) x (4 103) = 8 x 1012
Scientific Notation • Multiplication and Division in Scientific Notation • To divide numbers in scientific notation • Divide the coefficients. • Subtract the exponents. • Convert the answer to correct scientific notation. • Ex: (8.4 106) (2.1 102) = 4 x 104
Scientific Notation • Addition and Subtraction in Scientific Notation • Before numbers can be added or subtracted, the exponents must be equal. Ex. (5.4 103) + (6.0 102) = (5.4 103) + (0.6 103) = 6.0 103
Significant Figures • Are all the numbers for which actual measurements are made plus one estimated number. 1 2 You would estimate this measurement as 1.5 1 2 You would estimate this measurement as 1.48
Significant Figures • Tells the person interpreting your data about the accuracy of the measuring instrument used to obtain the data.
Significant Figures • Rules for counting sig figs 1. Digits other than zero are always significant. • 96 = 2 sig figs • 61.4 = 3 sig figs 2.Zeroes between 2 other sig figs are always significant. • 5.029 = 4 sig figs • 306 = 3 sig figs
Significant Figures • Rules for counting sig figs • Leading zeroes are never significant when they are to the left of non-zero numbers. • 0.0025 = 2 sig figs • 0.0821 = 3 sig figs • Trailing zeroes are only significant if there is a decimal present and they are to the right of nonzero numbers. • 100 = 1 sig fig • 100.0 = 4 sig figs • 0.0820 = 3 sig figs
Significant Figures • Rules for calculating with sig figs • In addition and subtraction, the answer should be rounded off so that it has the same number of decimal places as the quantity having the least number of decimal places. • 1.1 + 225 = 226.1 = 226 (rounded to no decimal places) • 2.65 – 1.4 = 1.25 = 1.3 (rounded to 1 decimal place) • In multiplication and division, the answer should have the same number of significant figures as the given data value with the least number of significant figures. • 4.60 45 = 207 = 210 (rounded to 2 sig figs) • 1.956 3.3 = 0.5927 = 0.59 (rounded to 2 sig figs)
Metric System • Unit of length…..meter (m) • Unit of mass ……gram (g) • Unit of volume …liter (L) • Unit of time …….second (s) • Unit of temperature…degrees Celsius (°C)
Metric System • The metric system is based on units of 10.
Metric System • To convert measurements within the metric system is a simple matter of multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, 1000, etc. • Even simpler, it is a matter of moving the decimal point to the left or right.
Metric System • One way to know where to place the decimal is to draw a "metric line" with the basic unit in the center, marking off six units to the left and six units to the right. • To convert from one unit to another simply count the number of places to the left or right, and move the decimal in that direction that many places. Ex. 3 mg = 3000 µg Ex. 3 L = 0.003kL
