27
Q

Scientific Notation

A
  • Used to write really big/small numbers in a simple way
  • Move the decimal over until the number is greater than or equal to 1, but less than 10
  • Count how many places you moved the decimal. However many it is, is the number you put as the exponent
  • If you moved the decimal to the right, the exponent is negative because the original number is smaller than the number now in scientific notation
  • If you moved the decimal to the left, the exponent is positive because the original number is bigger than the number now in scientific notation
28
Q

Significant digits- Atlantic/Pacific rule

A
  • If there is a decimal present, start counting from the left starting with the first non zero digit
  • If there is not a decimal present, start counting from the right, starting with the first non zero digit.
29
Q

Significant digits- adding/subtracting

A
  • First identify the guessed digit in each number (the last digit of the last number of each number in the problem)
  • After adding/subtracting, the guessed digit with the highest place value will be used in the answer
30
Q

Significant digits- Multiplying/dividing

A
  • Count the number of digits in each number and the lowest number is the number you will round your final answer to
  • Your answer needs to have that many significant digits
31
Q

Accuracy vs. Precision

A
  • Accuracy- The closeness of measurements to the correct or acceptable value of the quantity measured
  • Precision- The closeness of a set of measurements of the same quantity made in the same way
32
Q

Percent error

A
  • Used to calculate how close the the correct answer you were
  • Equation- Experimental value (what you got) - accepted value (correct answer) divided by accepted value (correct answer), times 100
33
Q

Dimensional analysis

A
  • aka factor label
  • Use staircase method to figure out base-prefix ratio
  • Start with given value on top and multiply until you end with the desired value on top, making sure units cancel as you go

Data based on information that’s not number but descriptive

45
Q

Quantitative

A

Data based on numbers

46
Q

A

anything that has mass and takes up space

51
Q

Parts of a formal lab report-

A
  1. Title:
  2. Purpose: background info, why were doing it
  3. Materials: amounts, chemicals, glassware, equipment
  4. Procedure: step by step, detailed, include diagrams when needed
  5. Data: Only what you see, small, hear, etc. Qualitative and Quantitative (numbers and observations), no calculated values
  6. Data analysis: Answer post-lab questions, do all calculations, and include all labels, graphs, analysis of graphs
  7. Conclusion: Give examples from lab of how you addressed the purpose, discuss all sources or error in procedure, percent error
52
Q

Lab safety

A

Lab safety ensures your safety while doing labs and makes sure you are doing them correctly both to get accurate data and be safe while doing it. No beverages/food, read directions and follow, keep isles clear, always stand, wear proper equipment, keep sharp tips away, no contact lenses, tie hair back, Use tongs and gloves with hot stuff, don’t leave burner unattended, point open end of burning tube away, study the handout
