How to Review

1. Experts stay in their station

2. Group members talk and expert collect info and write 10 points on the topic

3. Group members move to other groups after 5 minutes. Experts don’t leave their stations.

4. There will be four rounds of discussion, each of 5 minutes.

5. Experts come and present their points

x 1 x 103

= 6.5 x 107 mm2

3. Determine the mass of a 85.0 cm3 sample of lead.Do some research to find density of lead.Density = 11.34 g/cm3

85.0 cm3 x 11.34 g = 964 g 3 sig. figs.1 cm3

Multiplying and Dividing with Significant Figures

When multiplying or dividing numbers round the answer to the least number of significant figures found in any of the numbers used.

4. Reading Scale

HOW TO READ A SCALE

How to Read Scale(Sigfig)

Certain Number

Numbered Divisions

Un-numbered Divisions

Uncertain Number

One uncertain number

HOW TO READ A SCALE

Reading of scale must include three kinds of numbers.

1.Numbered Divisions2.Unnumbered Divisions3.Guess (uncertain)

5.08 cm one uncertain

5. cm all certain

5.0 cm all certain

5. Uncertainty

HOW TO CALCULATE UNCERTAINTY

Only last digit is uncertain.

Never write like this 2.50 0.2cm

Decimal places of uncertainty MUST match the decimal places of the reading

Uncertainty Calculation

Measurements Range Scale

Average ± farthest Unit

Determine the average and uncertainty

Exploring and Dealing with Uncertainty of Range

A measurement is in the range from 0.5128g to 0.5132g. what is uncertainty of the measurement?

Find mean: (0.5128 + 0.5132)/2 = 0.5130g

Find difference in the reading = 0.5132 - 0.5128 =0.0004 gDivide the difference by 2 = 0.0002

Now answer should be 0.5130 0.0002 g

Exploring and Dealing with Uncertainty of Scale

1.If a scale has 5 unnumbered divisions then uncertainty is 22.If a scale has 10 unnumbered divisions then uncertainty is 13.If a scale has 2 unnumbered divisions then uncertainty is 5

Now go to page 32 and find uncertainty of the scales given in question 48
