| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| UNIT 1: Precision | How close a series of measurements are to one another (how "reproducible") |
| UNIT 1: Accuracy | How close the measurement is to the accepted value (How "Correct") |
| UNIT 1: Sig Figs (Significant Figures) | All the digits which are known in a measurement, plus the last digit, which is estimated. |
| UNIT 1: Quantitative Data | Count/Must require a number or data set (preferred because it can be tested) |
| UNIT 1: Qualitative Data | Quality/Subjective and descriptive, use sense (see, smell, touch, taste or hear) |
| UNIT 1: Scientific Notation | Number written as the product of two numbers: coefficient multiplied by 10 raised to a power (Standard Exponential Form) |
| UNIT 1: Estimated Digit | The last Digit is the... (e.g. 2.00000 L = Final 0 or 2.05 L = Final 5) |
| UNIT 1: Absent Decimals | Go Atlantic (Right) to Pacific (Left) (e.g. 200 has 1 Sig Fig) |
| UNIT 1: Present Decimals | Go Pacific (Left) to Atlantic (Right) e.g. 2.50 has 3 Sig Figs |
| UNIT 1: Place Holder Zeros | These zeros are not significant (e.g. 0.0025 or 100) |
| UNIT 1: Experimental Value - Accepted Value | What is the Formula for Error |
| UNIT 1: Experimental Value | the measured value/Test results |
| UNIT 1: Error | Has to do with accuracy/Error can be negative |
| UNIT 1: Percent Error | ( I error I / Accepted Value ) x 100 = |
| UNIT 1: Accepted Value | Actual Value/ the "right" or correct answer based on a reliable reference |
| UNIT 1: Multiply/Divide | Fewest total Sig Figs when you... two units |
| UNIT 1: Add/Subtract | Fewest decimal places when you... two units |
| UNIT 1: M/D x V | The triangle that is density formula |
| UNIT 2: Distillation | |
| UNIT 2: Physical Property | |
| UNIT 2: Chemical Property | |
| UNIT 2: Physical Change |
