1. Calculations Using Sig Figs

2. Rounding Some of us are used to always rounding 5s up E.g. 20.5  21 In Chem 11, we will round 5s to the nearest even number E.g. 20.5  20 (20 is nearer than 22) E.g. 21.5  22(22 is nearer than 20)

4. Multiplication & Division Round the answer to the least number of sig figs contained in the question 2.391 x 4.5 = ?

5. Multiplication & Division 2.391 x 4.5 = ? 4 sig figs x 2 sig figs = ? 4 sig figs x 2 sig figs = 2 sig figs 2.391 x 4.5 = 10.7595

6. Multiplication & Division 2.391 x 4.5 = ? 4 sig figs x 2 sig figs = ? 4 sig figs x 2 sig figs = 2 sig figs 2.391 x 4.5 = 10.7595  11 (2 sig figs)

7. Multiplication & Division Practice: Hebden p.39 #56

8. Addition & Subtraction Round off the answer to the least precise number in the problem Remember that least precise means fewest decimal places

9. Addition & Subtraction 29.347 + 2.33 = ? 3 decimals + 2 decimals = ?

10. Addition & Subtraction 29.347 + 2.33 = ? 3 decimals + 2 decimals = 2 decimals

11. Addition & Subtraction 29.347 + 2.33 = ? 3 decimals + 2 decimals = 2 decimals 29.347 + 2.33 = 31.677  round to 2 decimals

12. Addition & Subtraction 29.347 + 2.33 = ? 3 decimals + 2 decimals = 2 decimals 29.347 + 2.33 = 31.677  round to 2 decimals 29.347 + 2.33 = 31.68  2 decimals, 4 sig figs

13. Addition & Subtraction 2.45 x 10 5 + 3.1 x 10 4 = ? Must convert to the same exponent to see which is less precise Always convert the smaller exponent into the larger one

14. Addition & Subtraction 2.45 x 10 5 + 3.1 x 10 4 = ? 2.45 x 10 5 + 0.31 x 10 5 = ?

15. Addition & Subtraction 2.45 x 10 5 + 3.1 x 10 4 = ? 2.45 x 10 5 + 0.31 x 10 5 = ? 2.45 x 10 5 + 0.31 x 10 5 = 2.76 x 10 5
