Significant Figures in Measurements

▪ Significant Figures:

⚫ Certain digits + one uncertain digit (an estimate)

Example:

How many significant figures do the following

measurements have?

⚫ 21.5 oC

⚫ 0.02 L

⚫ 0.205 g

⚫ 0.50 M

⚫ 1000 mL4

1. Disregard all initial zeros

2. Disregard all final zeros

unless they follow a decimal

point

3. All remaining digits including

zeros between nonzero

digits are significant

Significant Figures in Measurements

Use scientific notation

▪ Exact numbers obtained from definitions or by

counting numbers of objects can be considered

to have an infinite number of significant figures

▪ Examples:

⚫ 1 atm

= 76 cmHg

= 760 mmHg

= 760 torr

= 101325 Pa

⚫ 0.2786 g x 8 = 2.229 g6

Significant Figures in Definitions

⚫ 0 oC

= 273.15 K

▪ Measurement: Certain digits + One Uncertain digit

(estimate)

▪ Ex: Graduated cylinder

Certain to 3.1 mL

Read an estimate (0.05)

Reported to 3.15 mL

(three s.f.)

▪ Ex: Buret

Certain to 29.6 mL

Read an estimate (0.02)

Reported to 29.62 mL (four s.f.)7

◼ Multiplication and Division:

the number of significant figures in the final product or

quotient is determined by the original number that has

the smallest number of significant figures

11

◼ Example in Multiplication and Division:

Ex. Molar volume of nitrogen gas

(the original number that has the smallest number of significant

figures is two s.f., the answer is rounded to two s.f. )

In Logarithms and Antilogarithms:(a) ln a logarithm of a number, keep as many digits to the right of the

decimal point as there are significant figures in the original number.

(b) ln an antilogarithm of a number, keep as many digits as there are

digits to the right of the decimal point in the original number.

log (2.00 × 104)

= log (104) + log (2.00)

= 4 + 0.301

= 4.301 (round to the third decimal place)

[H+] = 2.0 × 10-12 M

= - log (2.0 × 10-12)

= 12 - log (2.0)

= 12 - 0.30

= 11.70

pH = - log [H+]three s.f.

Significant Figures in Calculation

Ex. Example of a pH value:

two s.f.

(round to the second decimal place)

(a)

(b) Convert pH = 8.74 to [H+]:

antilog 8.74 = 1.819 x 10-9 M, following rule (b), retain only two digits

The answer is 1.8 x 10-9 M (round to the first decimal place)

Determination of Chemical Formula

Mass of empty test tube: 42.4953 g (six s.f.)

Mass of test tube and CuO: 43.5361 g (six s.f.)

Mass of test tube and Cu: 43.3300 g (six s.f.)

Mass of CuO: 43.5361 - 42.4953 = 1.0408 g (five s.f.)

Mass of Cu: 43.3300 - 42.4953 = 0.8347 g (four s.f.)

Mass of Oxygen: 1.0408 - 0.8347 = 0.2061 g (four s.f.)

Periodic Table (IUPAC dated 1 Dec 2018)

• An interval in square brackets provides the lower and upper bounds of the

standard atomic weight for that element.

• For users needing an atomic-weight value for an unspecified sample with

disregard to the uncertainty, the conventional values are provided.

n1 = 1.0725 / 97.10 = 0.011045314109 (mol) (four s.f.)

T1 = 28.0 + 273.15 (infinite s.f.) = 301.15 (K) (four s.f.)

2. At least one extra digit beyond the significant figures should be carried through all of

the computations in order to avoid a rounding error

Reports

Principle: explain concisely, indicate important

theory, laws, and chemical reaction

Chemicals: Focus on Properties and Toxicity

20

• Tabulate the properties (indicate your sources)

• Only few chemicals are not toxic, such as starch, mostly are irritating and

harmful to human body.

• Molecular weights referred should have more than four significant figures.

Chemicals: write down names, formulas, formula weights,

physical properties, chemical properties, toxicities
