To Express a Number in Scientific Notation: For small numbers (<1): 1)Locate the decimal point 2)Move the decimal point to the right to give a number (coefficient) between 1 and 10 3)Write the new number multiplied by 10 raised to the “n th power” where “n” is the number of places you moved the decimal point so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal. where “n” is the number of places you moved the decimal point so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal. If the decimal point is moved to the right, from its initial position, then the exponent is a negative number (× 10 -n ) If the decimal point is moved to the right, from its initial position, then the exponent is a negative number (× 10 -n )

To Express a Number in Scientific Notation: For large numbers (>1): 1) Locate the decimal point 2) Move the decimal point to the left to give a number (coefficient) between 1 and 10 3) Write the new number multiplied by 10 raised to the “n th power” where “n” is the number of places you moved the decimal point so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal. where “n” is the number of places you moved the decimal point so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal. If the decimal point is moved to the left, from its initial position, then the exponent is a positive number (× 10 n ) If the decimal point is moved to the left, from its initial position, then the exponent is a positive number (× 10 n )

2.9 Density Can use density as a conversion factor between mass and volume Can use density as a conversion factor between mass and volume Density of some common substances given in Table 2.4, page 33 Density of some common substances given in Table 2.4, page 33 You will be given any densities on tests EXCEPT water You will be given any densities on tests EXCEPT water Density of water is 1.0 g/cm 3 at room temperature Density of water is 1.0 g/cm 3 at room temperature 1.0 mL of water weighs how much? 1.0 mL of water weighs how much? How many mL of water weigh 15 g? How many mL of water weigh 15 g?

2.9 Density To determine the density of an object To determine the density of an object Use a scale to determine the mass Use a scale to determine the mass Determine the volume of the object Determine the volume of the object Calculate it if possible (cube shaped) Calculate it if possible (cube shaped) Can also calculate volume by determining what volume of water is displaced by an object Can also calculate volume by determining what volume of water is displaced by an object Volume of Water Displaced = Volume of Object

Density Problem Iron has a density of 7.87 g/cm 3. If 52.4 g of iron is added to 75.0 mL of water in a graduated cylinder, to what volume reading will the water level in the cylinder rise?
