Chapter 1 Flashcards
Closeness to the true value
Accuracy
Refers to the closeness of a set of values
Precision
What figures are significant?
1-all nonzero numbers
2-confined zeros
3-trailing zeros to the right of a decimal
What figures are NOT significant?
1-leading zeros
2-trailing zeros to the left of a decimal
What is precision?
A set of numbers that are close to each other and are reproducible
What is accuracy?
Closeness to the true value; the average of all values
How do you decipher the amount of sig figs when multiplying and dividing?
Least number of sig figs
Ex: 123
x 22
2706= 2.7x10^3 (2sig figs)
How do you decipher the amount of sig figs when adding and subtracting?
Least decimal places
Ex. 1.433
1.3
+3.45.
6.183 = 6.2 (2sig figs)

How do you go from Celsius to Fahrenheit?
(Cx1.8) + 32= F
How do you go from Fahrenheit to Celsius?
(F-32) / 1.8= C
How do you go from Celsius to Kelvin?
C+273.15= K
only use the .15 if the C has a decimal
What is the formula for density?
D= M/V
1mL =?
1mL= 1cm^3
What are the steps of figuring out volume of an irregular shape into SI units?
- Water displacement
- Change the mL in cm^3 (1mL=1cm^3)
- Cube the meters
- Change into scientific notation
1in=?
1in= 2.54cm
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
The total mass remains constant throughout a chemical reaction.
