Why do we need it? Because in chemistry we are measuring very small things like protons and electrons and we need an easy way to express these numbers.
Scientific notation expresses numbers as a multiple of two factors: 1)A number between 1 and 10.2)Ten is raised to an exponent and this tells you how many times the factor should be multiplied by ten.

To express a number in scientific notation move the decimal point until after the first digit and count the positions you moved it.
If you move it to the left, you are making the number smaller, so to keep the same number, multiply it by 10 elevated to the positive power of the positions moved.

If you move it to the right, you are making the number bigger, so to keep the same number, multiply it by 10 elevated to the negative power of the positions moved.

• If the number is LARGER than 1 the exponent of 10 is POSITIVE.
• If the number is SMALLER than 1 the exponent of 10 is NEGATIVE.

• In science we use _________ which are numbers with __________, because the number alone doesn’t tell you the value of the measurement.
• For example if I measure the length of an object, if I say it is 3.0, it could be as short as 3.0 mm or as long as 3.0 Km therefore I must specify the unit used to compare it.

Uncertainty, accuracy and precisionThe last digit recorded in any measurement is anestimate and therefore it is UNCERTAIN.
6.526.536.54
The 6 and the 5 are certain.The red digits is uncertain. A measurement must be recordedwith all the certain digits and only one uncertain.
![Page 27: Why do we need it? Because in chemistry we are measuring very small things like protons and electrons and we need an easy way to express these numbers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e735503460f94b72418/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Let’s compareThe mass of an object measured in a simple balance was:
The mass of the same object measured in the analytical balance was:
2.359 are certain digits (you know them for sure). The last 6 is the estimate.
2.36g
The 2 and the 3 are certain digitsBut the 6 is uncertain.So you know for sure 2.3, but the following digit could be 5,6, 7 or even 4 or 9 because it is an estimate.
2.3596g
Which balance is more precise?
![Page 28: Why do we need it? Because in chemistry we are measuring very small things like protons and electrons and we need an easy way to express these numbers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e735503460f94b72418/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Accuracy: How close the number is to the accepted value.
Precision: How close the values are to each other. The smaller the uncertainty the greater the precision.
![Page 29: Why do we need it? Because in chemistry we are measuring very small things like protons and electrons and we need an easy way to express these numbers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e735503460f94b72418/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The accuracy of a measurement depends onthe calibration of the tool and also on how carfully the experimenter do the measurements.Well calibrated tools should give more accurate measurements if they are carefully done.
The precision depends on the tool. The analytical balance allows you to read more decimals and that is why it is more precise.
![Page 30: Why do we need it? Because in chemistry we are measuring very small things like protons and electrons and we need an easy way to express these numbers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e735503460f94b72418/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
More precise tools should give more accurate values, but that is not always the case.
For example:The boiling point of water is 1000C(Accepted value)
Three thermometers were used to measure it experimentally.
100.00oC
100.oC
101.445oC
Classify each of them as accurate, precise or both
![Page 31: Why do we need it? Because in chemistry we are measuring very small things like protons and electrons and we need an easy way to express these numbers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e735503460f94b72418/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Random error: A measurement has equal possibilities of being high or low.
Systematic error: measurements are either all high or all low.
Example of Random error: In a certain experiment the values obtained for the boiling point of waterWere: 100.0oC , 99.8oC, 100.3oC, 100.2oC, 99.9oCHow do you solve it? Getting the average of the values
Example of systematic error: In another experiment the values obtained for the boiling point of water were: 100.2oC ,100.8oC, 100.3oC, 100.2oC, 100.9oC How do you solve it?
Calibrating the tool used to do the measurements
![Page 32: Why do we need it? Because in chemistry we are measuring very small things like protons and electrons and we need an easy way to express these numbers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e735503460f94b72418/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Significant figures or significant digits of a measurement are all the certain digits plus one and only one uncertain.
When multiplying and/or dividing :• Count the number of significant digits in each measurement.
Significant figures in calculations
•Report the answer with the same amount of significant digits as the measurement with the least amount of significant digits.
• Remember that exact numbers have infinite amount of significant figures.
3.802 x 2.0 =
Only 2 significant figuresAnswer: 7.6

Count the decimals in each measurement.
Uncertainty in additions and subtractions
•Report the answer with the same amount of decimals as the measurement with the least amount of decimals.
• Remember the rules for rounding when doing your calculations.
Example. 2.038 + 2.1
3 decimals 1 decimal
2.038 + 2.1 = 4.1 (1 decimal)
