Why SI ?
It is easy to use. It is based on powers of ten.Example:megabytes = 106 byteskilogram = 103 gramscentimeter = 10-2 metermilliliter = 10-3 liters

Significant Digits
Significant digits are used to express how precise measurements are.
The number of significant digits depends on the kind of measuring device used.
Significant digits include all the certain digits and 1 uncertain digit in a measurement.
![Page 16: The SI units Scientists all over the world use the SI units to express measurements. QuantityUnitSymbol Lengthmeterm Masskilogramkg Timeseconds TemperatureKelvinK](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f395503460f94c56c2f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Counting Significant Digits
Non-zero digits are significant.
65 g – 2 significant digits Zeros after a decimal point but before a non-zero digit are
not significant.
0.065 g– 2 significant digits Zeros between two non-zero digits are significant.
6.05 g – 3 significant digits Zeros after a decimal point and a non-zero digit are
significant
65.0 g – 3 significant digits
650 g – 2 significant digits

Counting Significant Digits
A calculated value cannot be more precise than the measurement from which it is based.
Example: 5.0 mL x 1.25 g/mL = What is the best way to record the answer? 6.25 g or 6.3 g or 6 g? Rules to remember:
1. When multiplying or dividing, the answer should have the least number of significant digits.
2. When adding or subtracting, the answer should have the least number of decimal places.

Determining the Mass of Alcohol
Materials:
digital electronic balance that reads up to 0.01 g
100 mL graduated cylinder, marked by 1 mL
alcohol
Procedure:
1. Find and record the mass of an empty graduated cylinder.
2. Fill the cylinder about ¾ full of alcohol. Record the volume.
3. Get the mass of the filled graduated cylinder
Example
![Page 31: The SI units Scientists all over the world use the SI units to express measurements. QuantityUnitSymbol Lengthmeterm Masskilogramkg Timeseconds TemperatureKelvinK](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f395503460f94c56c2f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Random- Wind disturbs the
balance causing the readings to fluctuate
- Eye level of the experimenter moves a bit while reading the volume
Systematic- Electronic balance is not
working properly (not calibrated).
- Some of the alcohol is lost (evaporates) as its mass is being read.
