The number
602200000000000000000000 is
used so frequently in chemistry
that it has its own name;
Avogadro’s number. What
would be a better way of
writing it?
Scientific Notation

1.
2.
3.
To write a number in
scientific notation:
Move the decimal so that the number is
between 1 and 10.
The exponent is the number of tens places
you moved the decimal
Moving the decimal right = - exponent
Moving the decimal left = + exponent
Examples
65000 m = 6.5 x 104 m
 0.0000156 s = 1.56 x 10-5 s
-1
 0.24 m/s = 2.4 x 10 m/s
 6.7 mm = 6.7 x 100 mm

To Write a number in
Standard Form
Change it from scientific notation
to a standard number by moving
the decimal.
 Example
1.4 x 106 = 1,400,000
2.6 x 10-4 = 0.00026

Adding & Subtracting
Change the numbers to the same
exponent.
 Add or subtract the numbers

Example: 4.1 x 106 + 8.5 x 107
 0.41 x 107 + 8.5 x 107 = 8.91 x 107

Multiplication
Multiply the numbers
 Add the exponents

Example: (4 x 106)(2 x 108)
 8 x 1014

Division
Divide the numbers
 Subtract the exponents

Example: (9 x 107)/(3 x 104)
 3 x 103


The absolute value is present so that percent
error is always POSITIVE!
Example

Working in the laboratory, a student finds the
density of a piece of pure aluminum to be 2.85
g/cm3. The accepted value for the density of
aluminum is 2.699 g/cm3. What is the student's
percent error?
Percent Error = |2.85 – 2.699|
X 100 =
2.699

A student takes an object with an accepted mass
of 200.00 grams and masses it on his own
balance. He records the mass of the object as

Units in Chemistry





When you add or subtract two numbers, they must have the
same units.
The answer then has those units as well.
Example: 4 m + 12 m = 16 m
When you multiply, you also multiply the units.
Examples:




4 m x 5 m = 20 m2
2 g x 3 s = 6g·s
When you divide, you also divide the units.
Examples:


4 m / 2 s = 2 m/s
8 g / 2 mL = 4g/mL

Sig Figs in
Measurements
When doing any measurements in
chemistry, it is important that you
use the correct precision.
 All measurements should be
made by writing all units you
know and estimating the last unit.

Conversion Factors
Definition: a ratio of equivalent
units
 It is always equal to 1
 When multiplying by a conversion
factor, the numerical value is
changed, but the actual size of the
quantity remains the same

Conversion Factors
When working with conversion
factors, we use the Factor-Label
Method (dimensional analysis)
 The factor is the number that
explains the relationship between
two things
 The labels are its’ units

Examples

4 quarters = 1 OR
1 dollar
Factor
1 dollar = 1
4 quarters
Label
Examples
12 months = 1
1 year
1 foot
12 inches
=1
Rules for using Conversion
Factors
1.
2.
3.
Always start by writing what you
know from the problem.
Multiply by a conversion factor so
that the units cancel out (same unit
in numerator and denominator)
Continue converting until your answer
is in the desired units.
Example 1 – your age in
minutes
Checklist:
I started by writing what I knew
All units cancel
My answer is in minutes

Testimonials

"I was a South High School student who dozed off
while Mrs. C taught us the Factor-Label method in
chemistry. I never quite got the hang of it. It irritated
me... all of those fractions. I never really liked
fractions. Although my grades had been pretty high, I
got a D in chemistry and subsequently did not take
any more high school science classes. It was not long
before I started on drugs, and then used crime to
support my drug habit. I have recently learned the
factor-label method and realize how simply it could
have solved all of my problems. Alas, it is too late. I
won't get out of prison until 2022 and even then, my
self image is permanently damaged. I attribute all of
my problems to my unwillingness to learn the factorlabel method." -Jane
Testimonials

"I thought I knew everything and that sports was the only
thing that mattered in high school. When Mrs. C taught our
class the factor-label method, I didn't care about it at all. I
was making plans for the weekend with my girlfriend who
loved me because I was a running back and not because of
chemistry. While other kids were home solving conversion
problems, I was practicing making end sweeps. Then one
day I was hit hard. Splat. My knee was gone. I was a total
loser. My girl friend deserted me. My parents, who used to
brag about my football stats, stopped loving me and started
getting on my case about grades. I decided to throw myself
into my school work. But I couldn't understand anything. I
would get wrong answers all of the time. I now realize that
my failure in school came from never having learned the
factor-label method. I thought everyone else was smarter
than me. After the constant humiliation of failing I finally
gave up. I am worthless. I have no friends, no skills, no
interests. I have now learned the factor-label method, but it
is too late." -Bill
