1. Basic Units Length meters Mass kilograms Time seconds

2. TemperatureKelvin Amount Chm Mole CurrentAmpere Luminous InCandela

3. Metric Prefixes Giga (G) Mega(M) Kilo(k) Nano(n) Milli(m) Micro(  ) Centi(c)

4. Metric Prefixes (G) = 10 9 (M) = 10 6 (k) = 10 3 (n) = 10 -9 (m) = 10 -3 (  ) = 10 -6 (c) = 10 -2

5. Accuracy How close you are to the real answer

6. Precision How well one can repeat his or her work Repeatability

7. Uncertainty All measurements have a degree of unreliability Usually in the last digit of a measurement

8. 0 1 2 3 Burette Measurements Each measurement should have 2 decimals Solve the correct reading for the volume in the burette

9. 0 1 2 3 Burette Measurements Each measurement should have 2 decimals ~ 1.36 the last decimal will have uncertainty

10. Significant Digits Meaningful digits in a number

11. Determining Significance All non-zero digits All zeros between non-zero numbers All trailing zeros if there is a decimal place

12. Multiplication Uncertainty The answer should have the same number of significant digits as the multiplier with the least number of SD Same for division

13. Addition Uncertainty When adding, line up decimal place & add The decimal places in the answer should = the least Same for subtraction

14. Scientific Notation M x 10 n M = 1.00  M < 10.00 n = an integer

15. Conversion Factor Ratio equal to one 12 inches/1 foot = 1 Multiply one unit by a CF to obtain another unit w/o affecting magnitude
