Scientific Notation Scientific notation expresses very large or very small numbers as a multiple of 2 numbers; Based on powers of 10 Ex. 6 x 1023 The 1stnumber The 2ndnumber 1 X < 9 is 10 raised to a power The exponent is the # of places the decimal point must be shifted to give the regular or standard notation. + rt and - lf
Scientific Notation Examples Express the following in scientific notation 0.2713 = 314159 = 6022 = 0.12011 = Express the following in standard or expanded form 4.44 x 10-6= 7.121 x 109= 1.2 x 10-1= 1.8 x 102=
Scientific Notation Answers Express the following in scientific notation 0.2713 = 2.713 X 10-1 314159 = 3.14159 X 105 6022 = 6.022 X 103 0.12011 = 1.2011 X 10-1 Express the following in standard or expanded form 4.44 x 10-6= 0.00000444 7.121 x 109= 7,121,000,000 1.2 x 10-1= 0.12 1.8 x 102= 180
Scientific Notation Calculations To X exponential terms add the powers; to / exponential terms subtract. To + or exponential terms, the exponents must be the same. Solve the following: a. (3.0 x 10-8)(6.0 x 102) = b. (2.0 x 104) (1.0 x 1013)= c. (2.0 x 102) + (3.0 x 103) = d. (2.5 x 103)(2.0 x 10-7) = e. (7.0 x 101) = (3.5 x 10-3) f. (5.5 x 103) - (5.0 x 102) =
Scientific Notation Calculations Answers To x exponential terms add the powers; to / exponential terms subtract. To + or exponential terms, the exponents must be the same. Then, put the answer in proper scientific notation. Solve the following: a. (3.0 x 10-8)(6.0 x 102) = 1.8 X 10-5 b. (2.0 x 104) (1.0 x 1013)= 2.0 X 10-9 c. (2.0 x 102) + (3.0 x 103) = 3.2 X 103 d. (2.5 x 103)(2.0 x 10-7) = 5.0 X 10-4 e. (7.0 x 101) = 2.0 X 104 (3.5 x 10-3) f. (5.5 x 103) - (5.0 x 102) = 5.0 X 103
SI -The international system of units Base Unit need only one measurement Derived Unit a combination of 2 or more base units Quantity Typical Unit SI Unit Base unit (B) or Derived unit (D) Equipment Definitions Mass Measure of the amount of matter g g B Triple beam balance Volume Measure of the Space that matter takes up mL D Graduated cylinder g/cm3or g/ml Density ratio of the mass of an object to its volume. D Length distance between two points m m B Ruler Time Duration of an event s s B Stop watch, clock, timer Temperature Measure of KE (vibration of molecules) C K B thermometer

Dimensional Analysis What s given? What do you want? Look for an equivalence statement to put into ratio form Show all work Set-up (bridge) with all units May have one or multiple steps Did you answer the question? Is the answer reasonable?
Dimensional Analysis Practice Given: 2.54 cm = 1 inch 3.79 L = 1 gallon 16 ounces = 1 pound 1 L = 1000 mL Solve: 5.7 inches = _____________ cm 125 grams = ______________ lbs 2.5 miles = ______________ feet 1 mile = 5280 feet 454 g = 1 pound 1 calorie = 4.18 Joules 1 mole = 6.02 X 1023 atoms 1 gallon = 4 quarts 1 ft = 12 inches 1 mL = 1 cm3 85 ounces = ________________ lbs 72 cm3 = ______________ mL 4 moles = ________________ atoms
Dimensional Analysis Answers Solve: 5.7 inches = _____________ cm 5.7in(2.54cm/1in) = 14.478cm 85 ounces = ________________ lbs 85oz(1lb/160z) = 5.31lbs 72 cm3 = ______________ mL 72 cm3(1mL/1cm3)= 72mL 125 grams = ______________ lbs 125g(1lb/454g) = 0.28lbs 2.5 miles = ______________ feet 2.5mi(5280ft/1mi)= 13200ft 4 moles = ________________ atoms 4mol(6.022X 1023 atoms/1mol)= 2.41 X 1024 atoms
