Content
Mixtures and their separation
Scientific Notation
● The general form for Scientific Notation is: C x 10n
● Where C is the coefficient and is a number between 1 and 9
● n represents the number of tens places that apply
● A positive exponent means the value is greater than 1, if it is a negative number means the value is less than 1
● In scientific notation, the coefficient will show the number of significant figures
“The Stuff” of Chemistry
● Mass
○ Anything that takes up space and has weight
○ A measured amount of material in an object
○ Measured in grams (g)
○ Weight is determined by the mass of the object and the force of gravity of the Earth
Volume
○ A three-dimensional measure of the space occupied by matter
○ Typically measured with a pipet or graduated cylinder
○ Typically measured in milliliters (mL)
○ However in a clinical setting, it is usually measured in calibrated syringes and in cc or cm3
○ One mL = one cc
Density (d)
○ A comparison of substance’s mass (m) to its volume (V)
○ One gram of water has a volume of 1 mL, therefore the density of water is 1 g/mL
○ A piece of wood will float, therefore having a lower density than water ○ A piece of metal will sink,
therefore?
○ Density does not change, and therefore can be used as a conversion factor to attain the mass or volume of any
substance.
