Q

the only digits in a given measurement that are certain and are considered practical for use in calculations
involving scientific measurements

A

Significant Figures

26
Q

true or false

A measurement with more SF is more certain than a
measurement with fewer SF

A

true

27
Q

true or false

A measurement with less SF is more certain than a
measurement with more SF

A

false

28
Q

Rules in Counting Significant Figures

A
  1. All nonzero digits
    are significant
  2. All zeroes between nonzero digits (internal zeroes) are
    significant.
  3. Zeroes before the
    first nonzero digits
    (leading zeroes) are
    not significant
  4. Zeroes after the last nonzero digits (trailing zeroes) may or may not be
    significant.
29
Q

what are the two operations with significant figures

A
  1. Addition and Subtraction
  2. Multiplication and Division
30
Q

must have the same number of decimal places as the
measurement with the fewest number of decimal places.

A

Addition and Subtraction

31
Q

follow the least
number of significant figures from the original measurement.

A

Multiplication and Division

32
Q

combination of
trueness and precision

A

Accuracy

33
Q

nearness of
measurement to the true value

A

Trueness

34
Q

nearness of the
values of multiple
measurements to each other

A

Precision

35
Q

Physical Methods of Separation

A

Filtration

36
Q

involves the separation of the solid component of
a mixture from its liquid component

A

Filtration

37
Q

solids mixed with
gases

A

Filtration

38
Q

mixture passes through porous surface or
membrane that enables liquids or gases to pass but the solids

A

Filtration

39
Q

separated solids

A

Residue

40
Q

gas without the solid component

A

42
Q

separate two or more different liquids and
gases that form a mixture

A

Distillation

43
