CH. 3 Sig Fig Intro

Significant Figures

QuestionAnswer
getting close to the expected value accurate
the closeness of a series of values to each other precise
non-zeros (NZ), trapped, trailing with decimal (TWD) always significant figures
leading , trailing without decimal (TWOD) never significant figures
90009. All of the numbers between the 9's trapped
number written as the product of a number [1 x <10 ] 10 x 10 raised to a power scientific notation
1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are this type of number non-zeros
6.0000 all the numbers after the 6 trailing zeros with decimal
400 all the numbers after the 4 trailing zeros without a decimal
0.00002 all of the numbers before the 2 leading zeros
5 or more (rounding rule) round up
4 or less (rounding rule) stay the same
these exponents make the original number smaller negative exponents
these exponents make the original number larger positive exponents
a count or math conversion infinite significant figures
rounding rule for adding and subtracting least number of decimal places
rounding rule for multiplying and dividing least number of significant figures
order of operations P--> E--> D--> M--> A--> S
study of calculated quantities of reactants and products in a chemical reaction stoichiometry
SI unit for amount of substance mole
6.02 x 10^23 representative particles Avogadro's Number
STP conditions 273 degrees Kelvin & 1 atm of pressure
1 mole of any gas at STP has this volume 22.4 L
the mass listed on the periodic table that is a weighed average of all known isotopes atomic mass
the mass of 1 mole of any element or compound (g/mol) molar mass
this indicates the number of moles of an element or compound in a chemical equation coefficient
substance added to cause a chemical reaction or test for the presence of specific substances reagent
reagent that is completely used up in a chemical reaction limiting reagent
reagent that will have "leftovers" after a chemical reaction is complete excess reagent
measure of how inaccurate a measurement or value is compared to the actual value percent error
STP stands for this in chemistry Standard Temperature and Pressure
chemical equation that has the same number of atoms for each element on both sides balanced equation
chemical equation with unequal numbers of atoms for each element on both sides skeleton equation
states that mass is not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction law of conservation of mass
the ratio of each element in a compound percent composition
the ratio of amount of product formed compared to the theoretical yield percent yield
