What is chemistry?
Chemistry is the study of substances in terms of

Composition - What a material it made of

Structure - How the elementary particles are put together

Properties - The characteristics of the material

Reactions - How it behaves with other substances

 Use subscripts when more than one atom is in the molecule.

of 10.

 To write a number in scientific notation, the decimal point is

placed after the first digit.

Measurements

What is the length of this piece of wood?

What is the first digit? Any uncertainty in the digit? 4

What is the second digit? Any uncertainty in this digit? 4.5

What is the third digit? Any uncertainty in this digit? 4.56

Definition of a significant figure:

Significant digits include all digits with no uncertainty plus one
estimation

A. Exact numbers are obtained by
1. counting
2. definition
B. Measured numbers are obtained by
1. using some measuring tool
49
Significant Figures
• If a number is greater than 1, then all the zeros written to
the right of the decimal point count as significant figures.
Thus, 2.0 mg has two significant figures, 40.062 mL has
five significant figures, and 3.040 dm has four significant
figures. If a number is less than 1, then only the zeros
that are at the end of the number and the zeros that are
between nonzero digits are significant. This means that
0.090 kg has two significant figures, 0.3005 L has four
significant figures, 0.00420 min has three significant
figures.
51
9/28/2023
Significant Figures
 Any digit that is not zero is significant. Thus, 845
cm has three significant figures, 1.234 kg has four
significant figures.
 Zeros between nonzero digits are significant. Thus,
606 m contains three significant figures, 40, 501 kg
contains five significant figures.
 Zeros to the left of the first nonzero digit are not
significant. Their purpose is to indicate the
placement of the decimal point. For example, 0.08 L
contains one significant figure, 0.0000349 g contains
three significant figures.
50
Significant Figures
• For numbers that do not contain decimal points, the
trailing zeros (that is, zeros after the last nonzero digit)
may or may not be significant. Thus, 400 cm may have
one significant figure (the digit 4), two significant figures
(40), or three significant figures (400). We cannot know
which is correct without more information. By using
scientific notation, however, we avoid this ambiguity. In
this particular case, we can express the number 400 as
4 x 102 for one significant figure, 4.0 x 102 for two
significant figures, or 4.00 x x102 for three significant
figures.

Significant Figures Rounding Off

In calculations:
 Answers must have the same
number of significant figures as
the measured numbers.
 Calculator answers must often be
rounded off.
 Rounding rules are used to
obtain the correct number of
significant figures.
 When the first digit dropped is 4 or less, the retained
numbers remain the same.
To round 45.832 to 3 significant figures
drop the digits 32 = 45.8
 When the first digit dropped is 5 or greater,
the last retained digit is increased by 1.
To round 2.4884 to 2 significant figures
drop the digits 884 = 2.5 (increase by 0.1)

53 54

Multiplication and Division Addition and Subtraction

When multiplying or dividing use When adding or subtracting, use
 the same number of significant figures (SF) as  the same number of decimal places as the
the measurement with the fewest significant measurement with the fewest decimal places

25.2 one decimal place
Example: + 1.34 two decimal places
110.5 x 0.048 = 5.304 = 5.3 26.54 calculated answer

correct number of decimal places.

An equality

 states the same measurement in two different units

 can be written using the relationships between two
metric units

Example: 1 meter is the same as 100 cm and 1000 mm.

1 m = 100 cm
1 m = 1000 mm

1m/100cm = 1; 1m/1000mm = 1 volume has the dimensions of length cubed

1 = 100cm/1m; 1 = 1000mm/1m

61 62

Some Common Equalities

 Several equalities can be
written for mass

1 kg = 1000 g
1 g = 1000 mg
1 mg = 0.001 g
