Chemistry Math Accuracy and Precision Percent Error Significant Figures
A. Accuracy vs. Precision • Accuracy – a measure of how close a measurement comes to the true value • Precision – a measure of how close a series of measurements are to one another. ACCURATE = CORRECT PRECISE = CONSISTENT
Example: Low accuracy – high precision High accuracy – low precision High accuracy – high precision
your value true value B. Calculating Percent Error • Error – the difference between the experimental value and the accepted value.
B. Percent Error • A student determines the density of a substance to be 1.40 g/mL. Find the error and the % error if the accepted value of the density is 1.36 g/mL.

C. Significant Figures • Counting Sig Figs • Count all numbers EXCEPT: • Leading zeros -- 0.0025 • Trailing zeros without a decimal point -- 2,500
C. Significant Figures Counting Sig Fig Examples 1. 23.50 1.23.50 4 sig figs 3 sig figs 2. 402 2.402 3. 5,280 3.5,280 3 sig figs 2 sig figs 4. 0.080 4. 0.080
C. Significant Figures • Calculating with Sig Figs • Add/Subtract - The # with the lowest decimal value determines the place of the last sig fig in the answer. 3.75 mL + 4.1 mL 7.85 mL 3.75 mL + 4.1 mL 7.85 mL 224 g + 130 g 354 g 224 g + 130 g 354 g 350 g 7.9 mL
3 SF C. Significant Figures • Calculating with Sig Figs • Multiply/Divide - The # with the fewest sig figs determines the # of sig figs in the answer. (13.91g/cm3)(23.3cm3) = 324.103g 4 SF 3 SF 324g
EXACT NUMBERS • Exact numbers have infinite number of significant figures. Exact numbers include • Counting of anything : 22 people or 10 meter sticks, 6 eggs etc. • Defined quantities : 12 = 1 doz. • Exact numbers do not affect the rounding to the correct number of significant figures or in the calculations of the measurements.
