Scientific Measurement
Ch. 3Why are precise measurements
and calculations essential to the
study of chemistry?

(3.1) Measurements• Quantity that has a number
and unit

Accuracy and Precision• How close a measurement comes
to the actual value of what is being measured
• How close a series of measurements are to one another

Measured values having digits that are known with certainty and a final digit that is estimated

1) ALL non-zero numbers are ALWAYS significant.
2) ALL zeroes between non-zero numbers are ALWAYS significant.
3) ALL zeroes which are to the right of the decimal point AND at the end of the number are ALWAYS significant.
4) ALL zeroes to the left of a decimal point and in front of nonzero digits are not significant.

Sig Figs in Calculations
Many-Places Rule
Mult./Div. – how many sig figs in least
Plus/Minus – no. of places in least
