Significant FiguresAs you learned in the measurement activity, an appropriate measurement for the length of the rectangle below is 3.65 cm. Because the “3” and the “6” are certain, and the “5” is our guess, all three digits are intentional or “significant.” Thus 3.65 cm contains three significant figures.

Significant FiguresThe scale below is less precise, and so the rectangle’s length should be reported as just 3.5 cm. This measurement has just two significant figures: the “3” and the “5” and it is considered to be a weaker, less valuable measurement than 3.65 cm.

Significant FiguresThe scale below, however, is more precise, and a magnified view (shown at right) is helpful in making a good reading: 3.665 cm. This measurement has 4 significant figures: the “3.66…” which are certain, and the “5” which is the guess.

Significant Figures3.5 cm has two significant figures,
3.65 cm has three significant figures, 3.665 cm has four significant figures. You might start to think that the number of significant figures is simply equal to the number of digits there are in a measurement, but that is not always the case…
![Page 6: 8/29/11](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812a5a550346895d8dba01/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Significant FiguresConsider the length of the rectangle below: 3500 mm. The “3” is definite. The “5” is the guess. So what about the two zeroes at the end? Are they significant?

![Page 7: 8/29/11](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812a5a550346895d8dba01/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Significant FiguresConsider the length of the rectangle below: 3500 mm. The “3” is definite. The “5” is the guess. So what about the two zeroes at the end? Are they significant?
NO! They are not considered significant.

Significant FiguresIn 3500 mm, the zeroes are serving a very different purpose than the “3” and the “5.” These two zeroes are acting as place-keepers. They show the size of the measurement -- 3500 mm, not just 35 mm – but they do not make the measurement any more precise.

Significant FiguresNow consider the measurement below: 3450 mm. How many significant figures does it have? (Make a guess before continuing.)
If you said three, you are correct!

Significant FiguresIn 3450 mm, the “3” and “4” are definite and the “5” is the guess, so those are the three significant figures. The zero at the end is a place-keeping zero, and so it is not considered to be significant.

Significant FiguresNow what about the measurement below: 0.00275 m? How many significant figures do you think it has? (Make a guess before continuing.)
0 0.001m

Significant FiguresIn 0.00275 m, the “2” and “7” are definite and the “5” is the guess. Here the zeroes in the beginning of the number are place keepers. They make 0.00275 a small number, just as the zeroes in 3500 make it a big number.

Significant Figures3500 has two significant figures,
0.00275 has three significant figures.
You might start to think that zeroes are never significant, but that is not always the case…

Rules recap thusfar:
Rules for identifying significant figures in a measurement:1. All non-zero digits are significant (i.e. 1-9).2. 2. All zeros or groups of zeros between non zero digits are significant (ex. ALL the zeros in 703 g, 8.001 mL, and 7010.02 cm are all significant because of rule #2a.)
AND all zeros between a non-zero digit on the left and a decimal on the right are also significant (ex. ALL the zeros in
140. cm, 6000. mL, are 1800. g are all significant because of rule #2b.). These 2 types of zeros can be referred to as “squeezed zeros.”3. All zeros or groups of zeros to the right of the decimal AND at the end of the number are significant (ex. ALL the zeros in
2.30 cm, 7.00 mL, and 56.9000 g are all significant because of rule #3.). These zeros can be referred to as “trailing zeros.”**ALL other types of zeros are NOT significant and serve only as place holders (ex. The zeros in 300 cm and 0.0071 mL ARE NOT significant
since they are neither “squeezed zeros” nor “trailing zeros”). Remember, significant means measured, not important (Place holder zeros ARE still important even if they aren’t significant!)!
![Page 29: 8/29/11](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812a5a550346895d8dba01/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
All those rules seem a bit tough to keep straight?
While you should remember why we do sig figs, and what makes something “significant,”
here’s a handy trick to help you count your sig figs:
If the decimal point is Absent, count from the Atlantic.
If the decimal point is Present, count from the Pacific.
________________________________________________________________
For example: 6702000 has no decimal point. The Altantic rule applies!
|<---- starting from the “Atlantic,” heading “west,”
the first non-zero digit we hit is the 2, and everything after that is also significant. So 6702000 has 4 significant figures!
![Page 30: 8/29/11](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812a5a550346895d8dba01/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

SHORTCUT! HANDY TRICK!
If the decimal point is Absent, count from the Atlantic.
If the decimal point is Present, count from the Pacific.

Then compare your set of rules to the ones that follow:
![Page 130: 8/29/11](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812a5a550346895d8dba01/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)
Significant FiguresHere is one way to represent the rules for significant figures:
Nonzero digits (26.3) are always significant.(so 26.3 has three significant figures)
Zeroes occur in three different places in a number:
If they are at the beginning (0.005), they are never significant.(so 0.005 has one significant figures)
If they are in the middle (1207), they are always significant.(so 1207 has four significant figures)
And if they are at the end, they are sometimes significant.
If there is a decimal point (21.600) they are significant.(so 21.600 has five significant figures)
If there is no decimal point (21600), they are not significant.(so 21600 has three significant figures)
![Page 131: 8/29/11](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812a5a550346895d8dba01/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
Significant FiguresThe only exception to those rules is when there is a line over a zero (630000). When there is a line over a zero, treat that zero like a nonzero digit. So 630000 would have four significant figures. But Mrs. A won’t use this in Chem 1.
As for scientific notation (3.40 x 106), it follows these same rules if you just ignore the “times ten to the whatever power.” Or, simply put, every digit to the left of the times sign is automatically significant.
So 3.40 x 106 has three significant figures.

DAY 2 of E2 (sig figs)Remember that “significant” means “measured”.
We should always report our measurements as accurately as possible with the tools we are using. (Measure to the smallest mark the scale allows, then estimate one more decimal beyond).
We went over the rules yesterday, and I also shared a handy trick with you (the “Atlantic-Pacific Rule”):
If the decimal is If the decimal is Present, count Absent, countfrom the Pacific from the Atlantic.

What happens when we do math with our measurements?
So you’ve accurately measured in the lab and reported with the correct sig figs… now what?
For example, let’s say you measured 2.35 gpressing on an area of 6.70 cm2.
Calculate the pressure in grams per cm2; 2.35g ÷ 6.70 cm2
What does your calculator say?
Probably 0.35074627! Did you measure to the millionths? No! We need some more sig fig rules to save us from these runaway, misleading digits!

Sig Figs in Addition + Subtraction:
When adding or subtracting measurements, determine which measurement has the fewest significant PLACES (= your least precise measurement).
1062 m 632.8687 kg + 410 m - 427.20 kg 1472 m = 1470 m 205.6687 kg = 205.67 kg
After calculating, ROUND your answer to only as many significant PLACES as that least precise measurement that was used in the calculation.

Sig Figs in Multiplication & Division:
When multiplying or dividing measurements, determine which measurement has the fewest TOTAL significant figures (= your least precise measurement).
3 m x 102 m = 306 m2 = 300 m2
0.072 g ÷ 0.10788 mL = 0.6674082… g/mL = 0.67 g/mL
Don’t forget to round the last digit as needed(if the first dropped digit is 5 or greater, round UP).
When calculating with labels, don’t forget to add, subtract, multiply, or divide the labels, too! (cm x cm = cm2) (g ÷ mL = g/mL)
