Properties

Intensive: the property does NOT depend on the amount of stuff you have ex: temperature

Extensive: the property DOES depend on the amount of stuff you have ex: mass

Use your data to determine if density is an intensive property or an extensive property!

Scientific Notation

602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 The number of atoms of iron in this

beaker!

Scientific Notation: A way to effectively show and compare really large or really small numbers.

Scientific Notation

8,000,000 = 8x106

0.00012 = 1.2x10-4

Integer must be 1≤x<10

Positive exponent: number > 1 Negative exponent: number < 1 (but >

0!)

Convert to regular notation

a. 3.4x1012

b. 5.4x10-6

c. 1.2x103

d. 7.80x10-2

e. 1.20x10-8

f. 3.98x1010

g. 3x10-2

Copy the number and rewrite in scientific notation or regular notation

a. 100,000b. -5,000,000c. 450,000,000,000d. 1,300e. 0.01f. 0.00 005g. -0.0 045h. 0.00 000 000 000 000

a. 2.3 x10-2

b. 1.99 x104

c. 9 x10-8

d. 6.505 x10-12

e. 1.00 x10-4

f. 4.55 x1015

Remember…

A negative exponent is a tiny number but is bigger than 0 (NOT a negative number!)

A big positive exponent is a HUGE number.

A negative number can have either a positive exponent or a negative exponent.

Unit Conversions

SI Units for Measurement

Quantity Unit Symbollength meter mmass gram gvolume liter Ltime second s

Unit Prefixes

But what if it’s not practical to use a meter or a liter or a gram?

You want to measure something much smaller or larger?

SI Unit Prefixes

Prefix Symbol Meaningkilo- k 1000(meter, liter, gram)centi- c 1/100milli- m 1/1000 So what does that mean?

1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters

Converting between units

Example 1: How many meters are equal to 5 kilometers?

Example 2: How many milliliters are equal to 75.0 liters?

Example 3: How many kilograms are equal to 2,500 grams?
