Copyright ©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 4 2.1 Scientific Notation Scientific Notation: A way to write very large or small numbers (measurements) in a compact form. Method for Writing a Number in Scientific Notation 1. Move the decimal point in the original number so that it is located after the first nonzero digit. 2. Multiply this number by 10 raised to the number of places the decimal point was moved. 3. Exponent sign indicates which direction the decimal was moved. Copyright ©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 5 Scientific Notation Practice 1) Write 0.000423 in scientific notation. −4 4.23 ×10 2) What is the correct scientific notation for the number 353,000 (to 3 significant figures)? a. 35.3 x 104 b. 3.53 x 105 c. 0.353 x 106 d. 3.53 x 10 -5 Copyright ©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 6 2.2 Measurement and Uncertainty Measurement: A quantitative observation. Examples: 1 cup, 3 eggs, 5 molecules, etc. Measurements are expressed by 1. a numerical value and 2. a unit of the measurement. A measurement always requires a unit. Copyright ©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 7 Measurement and Uncertainty (1 of 2) Numerical values obtained from measurements are never exact values. Uncertainty exists in the last digit of the measurement. The other digits are certain. Because of this level of uncertainty, any measurement is expressed by a limited number of digits, significant 21.0 degrees 22.11 degrees figures. Celsius (℃) Celsius (℃) Copyright ©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 8 Measurement and Uncertainty By convention, a measurement typically includes all certain digits plus one digit that is estimated. Ex. 20.6 mL 3 Sig. Fig. Copyright ©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 9 2.3 Rules for Counting Significant Figures 1. All nonzero digits are significant. 2. Zeroes are significant when: They are in between nonzero digits Ex. 75.04 has 4 significant figures (7,5,0 and 4) They are at the end of a number after a decimal point. Ex. 32.410 has five significant figures (3,2,4,1 and 0) 3. Zeroes are not significant when: They appear before the first nonzero digit. Ex. 0.00321 has three significant figures (3,2 and 1) They appear at the end of a number without a decimal point. Ex. 6920 has three significant figures (6,9 and 2) 4. Exact numbers have an infinite number of sig figs. 12 inches (in.) = 1 foot (ft.), exact #s have no uncertainty Copyright ©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 10 Let’s Practice! (1 of 26) How many significant figures are in the following measurements? 3.2 inches 2 significant figures 25.0 grams 3 significant figures 103 people Exact number number of sig figs 0.003 kilometers 1 significant figure Copyright ©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 11 Rounding Off Numbers With a calculator, answers are often expressed with more digits than the proper number of significant figures. These extra digits are omitted from the reported number, and the value of the last digit is determined by rounding off. Rules for Rounding Off If the first digit after the number that will be retained is: 1. < 5, the digit retained does not change. Ex. 53.2305 = 53.2 (other digits dropped) digit retained 2. 5, the digit retained is increased by one. Ex. 11.789 = 11.8 (other digits dropped) digit rounded up to 8 Copyright ©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 12 Let’s Practice!

Example Add 136.23 + 79 + 31.7 The least precise number is 79, so the answer should be rounded to 247. Copyright ©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 16 Let’s Practice!

Common Length Relationships: 1 meter m = 100 centimeters cm = 1000 millimeters (mm) 1 kilometer km = 1000 meters Relationship Between the Metric and English System: 1 inch (in.) = 2.54 cm Copyright ©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 23 2.6 Dimensional Analysis: A Problem-Solving Method Dimensional analysis: converts one unit of measure to another by using conversion factors, a ratio of equivalent quantities. Example: 1 km = 1000 m Conversion factor: 1 km 1000 m or 1000 m 1 km Any unit can be converted to another unit by multiplying the quantity by a conversion factor. Unit × conversion factor = Unit 1 2 1 km Example: Convert 2 m to km. 2m× =0.002 km 1000 m Copyright ©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 24 Dimensional Analysis: A Problem-Solving Method Many chemical principles or problems are illustrated mathematically.

Weight: effect of gravity on an object, it is measured on a scale. Mass is independent of location, but weight is not. Mass is the standard measurement of the metric system. The SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). (The gram is too small a unit of mass to be the standard unit.)

Heat: flow of energy due to a temperature difference. Heat flows from regions of higher to lower temperature. The SI unit of temperature is the Kelvin (K). Temperature is measured using a thermometer. Copyright ©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 41 Different Temperature Scales Celsius (℃), Fahrenheit (℉), and Kelvin (K) are co. Celsius and Fahrenheit are both measured in degrees, but the scales are different. H2O Degrees Celsius Degrees Fahrenheit K Freezing Point 0℃ 32 ℉ 273.15 K Boiling Point 100 ℃ 212 ℉ 373.15 K The Fahrenheit scale has a range of 180 degree between freezing and boiling.

Density (d): the ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume occupied by that mass. mass d volume units of density: g/mL or g/cm3 for solids and liquids, g/L for gases. The volume of a liquid changes as a function of temp, so density must be specified for a given temperature. Ex. The density of H2O at 4 degrees Celsius is 1.0 g/mL while the density is 0.97 g/mL at 80 degrees Celsius.
