1:2 Scientific Notation

Goals and Objectives:• Express numbers in scientific

notation.• Convert between units using

dimensional analysis.

Page 16: Chem unit 1 presentation

Scientific Notation

Scientific notation – a method that conveniently restates a number without changing its value.

• Coefficient – is the first number in scientific notation. (1-10)

• Exponent – the multiplier of the coefficient by the power of 10.

Page 17: Chem unit 1 presentation

Scientific Notation• Example

Page 18: Chem unit 1 presentation

Adding and Subtracting Scientific Notation

• Exponents must be the same. Convert if necessary.

• Coefficients are added or subtracted.

• Change exponent to simplify answer.

Page 19: Chem unit 1 presentation

Adding and Subtracting Scientific NotationExample

Page 20: Chem unit 1 presentation

Multiplication and Division using Scientific Notation

• Exponents do not need to be the same.

• Multiply or divide coefficients• When multiplying, add

exponents• When dividing, subtract

exponents. (divisor from dividend)

Multiplication and Division using Scientific Notation

• Example

Page 22: Chem unit 1 presentation

Dimensional Analysis

Dimensional Analysis – is a systematic approach to problem solving that uses conversion factors to move, or convert, from one unit to another.• Example

Page 23: Chem unit 1 presentation

Conversion Factor

Conversion Factor - Is a ratio of equivalent values having different units.• Examples:

• 1000m / 1km• 1 hr / 3600s• 1 ml / 1 cm3

1:3 Uncertainty in Data

Goals and Objectives:• Define and compare accuracy and

precision.• Describe the accuracy of

experimental data using error and percent error

• Apply rules for significant figures to express uncertainty in measured and calculated values.

Page 26: Chem unit 1 presentation

Uncertainty in Data

Accuracy – is how close a measure value is to an accepted value.

Precision - Is how close a series of measurements are to one another. • The amount of uncertainty in a

measurement• More precise = less uncertainty

Page 27: Chem unit 1 presentation

Precision in Measurements• When measuring any item,

write all digits that are confirmed and one estimated digit.

• Example

Page 28: Chem unit 1 presentation

Error

Error is the difference between an experimental value and an accepted value.

• Error = experimental value – accepted value

• Example

Page 29: Chem unit 1 presentation

Percent Error

Percent error expresses error as a percentage of the accepted value • Percent error =

Page 30: Chem unit 1 presentation

Significant FiguresRules for Significant Digits

1. Nonzero digits are always significant.2. Zeroes are sometimes significant, and sometimes they

are not.a. Zeroes at the beginning of a number (used just to

position the decimal point) are never significant.b. Zeroes between nonzero digits are always

significant.c. Zeroes at the end of a number that contains a

decimal point are always significant.d. Zeroes at the end of a number that does not contain

a decimal point may or may not be significant.i. Scientific notation is used to clarify these

numbers.

Page 31: Chem unit 1 presentation

Significant FiguresRules for Significant Digits

3. Exact numbers can be considered as having an unlimited number of significant figures.

4. In addition and subtraction, the number of significant digits in the answer is determined by the least precise number in the calculation.a. The number of significant figures to the right of

the decimal in the answer cannot exceed any of those in the calculation.

5. In multiplication and division, the answer cannot have more significant digits than any number in the calculation.

Page 32: Chem unit 1 presentation

Significant Figures• Examples

Page 33: Chem unit 1 presentation

Rounding Numbers• When rounding numbers to the

proper number of significant digits, look to the right of the last significant digit. • 1-4: round down the last sig

fig• 5-9: round up the last sig fig.

Page 34: Chem unit 1 presentation

Rounding Numbers• Examples:• 54.3654 to 4 sig figs:

• To 3 sig figs:• To 2 sig figs:• To 1 sig fig:

1:4 Representing Data

Goals and Objectives• Create graphs to reveal patterns in

data.• Interpret graphs.• Explain how chemists describe

submicroscopic matter.

Page 37: Chem unit 1 presentation

Representation of Data

Graph is a visual display of data• Circle graphs (pie chart) – display

parts of a whole.• Bar graphs – shows how a

quantity varies across categories• Line graphs – most graphs used in

chemistry

Page 38: Chem unit 1 presentation

Rules for Good GraphingRules for Good Graphing on Paper:

1. All graphs should be on graph paper. 2. Identify the independent and dependent variables in

your data.a. The independent variable is plotted on the

horizontal axis (x-axis) and the dependent variable is plotted on the vertical axis (y-axis).

3. Determine the range of the independent variable to be plotted.

4. Spread the data out as much as possible. Let each division on the graph paper stand for a convenient unit. This usually means units that are multiples of 2, 5 or 10…etc.

Page 39: Chem unit 1 presentation

Rules for Good Graphing

Rules for Good Graphing on Paper:

5. Number and label the horizontal axis. The label should include units.

6. Repeat steps 2. through 4. for the dependent variable.7. Plot the data points on the graph.8. Draw the best-fit straight or smooth curve line that

passes through as many points as possible. Do not use a series of straight-line segments to connect the dots.

9. Give the graph a title that clearly tells what the graph represents (y vs. x values).

Page 40: Chem unit 1 presentation

Rules for Good GraphingRules for Good Graphing on the Computer:

1. From the insert menu on the Microsoft word program choose insert chart.

2. Identify the independent and dependent variables in your data.a. The independent variable is plotted on the horizontal

axis (x-axis) and the dependent variable is plotted on the vertical axis (y-axis).

3. Insert data in the excel window that opens. Be sure to pay attention to the excel column vs. graph axes location.

4. Through the toolbox menu, give the graph a title that clearly tells what the graph represents. (y vs. x variable).

5. Through the toolbox menu, give the axes in the graph labels that include units.

Representing Data

Linear relationship – variables are proportionally related• Line of best-fit is a straight line but is

not perfectly horizontal or vertical.

Page 42: Chem unit 1 presentation

Representing Data

Slope – is equal to the change in y divided by the change in x• Rise/run• Δy/Δx

Page 43: Chem unit 1 presentation

Representing Data

Interpolation – the reading of a value from any point that falls between recorded data points• When points on a line graph are

connected, the data is considered to be continuous.

Page 44: Chem unit 1 presentation

Representing Data

Extrapolation – the process of estimating values beyond the plotted points.• The line of best fit is extended

beyond the scope of the data

Page 45: Chem unit 1 presentation

Representing Data

Model – is a visual, verbal or mathematical explanation of experimental data. • Example

Scientific Method and Research

Scientific Method – is a systematic approach and organized process used in scientific study to do research• Observation• Hypothesis• Experiments• Conclusion

Page 49: Chem unit 1 presentation

Scientific Method• Observation – is an act of gathering

information.• Qualitative – information that

describes color, odor, shape or other physical characteristic

• Quantitative – information taken in the form of a measurement.• Temperature, pressure, volume,

quantity, mass

Page 50: Chem unit 1 presentation

Scientific Method• Hypothesis – is a tentative

explanation for what has been observed.

Page 51: Chem unit 1 presentation

Scientific Method• Experiments – is a set of controlled

observations that test the hypothesis.• Independent variable – the variable

that is controlled or changed incrementally.

• Dependent variable – the value that changes in response to the independent variable.

• Control – is a standard for comparison.

• Conclusion – is a judgment based on the information obtained.
