Scientific Notation
When using this the coefficient is always a number greater than or equal to one and less than ten.
What is Scientific Notation?
How close a measurement comes to the actual or true value.
What is accuracy?
This includes all the digits that are known, plus a last digit that is estimated.
What is significant figures?
A measure of how hot or cold an object is.
What is temperature?
The ratio of the mass of an object to its volume.
What is Density?
A quantity that has both and number and a unit.
What is a measurement?
A measure of how close a series of measurements are to one another.
What is precision?
These reported in a measurement are always assumed significant.
What are nonzero digits?
This scale sets the freezing point of water at zero and the boiling point at 100.
What is the Celsius scale?
Density is this type of property that depends only on the composition of a substance, not on the size of the sample.
What is intensive property?
In scientific notation a positive exponent indicates this.
What is how many times you multiply the coefficient by ten? Or what is a large number?
The correct value for the measurement based on reliable references.
What is the accepted value?
The number of significant figures in the number 0.00000290
What is three (3)?
This scale was named after a Scottish physicist aka the absolute scale.
What is the Kelvin scale?
What is 2 grams per liter?
22,000,000 written in scientific notation.
What is 2.2 x 107 ?
The value measured in the lab.
What is the experimental value?
The number of significant figures in the measurement 225,000,001.
What is nine (9)?
When converting a temperature from the Celsius scale to the Kelvin scale you have to do this. Celsius ---> Kelvin
What is add 273.
Celsius + 273 = Kelvin
One mL of water is equal to this.
What is One cm3?
9.47 x 104 written in long form.
What is 94,700?
The difference between the experimental value and the accepted value.
What is error?

What is counting or exactly defined quantities? ex. 20 people in the room or 60sec in a minute.
The zero point on the Kelvin scale.
O K or -273.15 Celsius
What is absolute zero?
The density of water.
What is 1.0 grams per mL?
