Part  4:  The  Metric  (SI)  System  Introduction:   The  following  worksheet  is  a  self-­‐paced  program  for  the  metric  system.   As  you  read  each   statement,  

you  will  be  given  information  that  you  can  use  to  fill  in  the  blanks.   There  are  many  repetitions  in  order  to   reinforce  the  concepts  to  be  learned.   The  answers  are  usually  found  in  the  previous  statement(s).   If  you  don’t  get  the   answer  right  away,  go  back  and  read  the  previous  statement(s)  again.   Read  each  step  carefully,  as  the  program  is   designed  to  make  you  thoroughly  familiar  with  each  unit  by  the  time  you  finish.  

 1. Since  chemistry  deals  with  quantitative  data,  you  should  be  familiar  with  the  measuring  system  employed  by  

chemists.   This  is  called  the  metric  system  or  SI  system.    2. Although  there  are  other  units  that  can  be  expressed  in  the  metric  system,  this  program  will  familiarize  you  with   three  of  

the  most  commonly  used  units  -­‐  length,  volume,  and  mass.    3. The  basic  unit  in  the  metric  system  for  measuring  length  is  the  meter  (m).   If  we  state  that  a  pencil  measures  

0.17  m,  we  are  expressing  the   of  the  pencil.    4. The  basic  unit  for  volume  is  the  liter  (L).   If  we  say  a  certain  container  holds  0.5  L,  we  are  expressing  the  

    of  the  container.    5. The  basic  unit  for  mass  (weight)  is  the  gram  (g).   If  we  say  a  certain  object  weighs  0.5  g,  we  are  expressing  the  

    of  the  object.  (However,  the  SI  base  unit  is  the  kilogram.)    6. The  basic  metric  unit  for  volume  is  the   .    7. The  basic  metric  unit  for  length  is  the   .    8. The  basic  metric  unit  for  mass  is  the   .    9. The  abbreviation  g  stands  for   .    10. The  abbreviation  m  stands  for   .    11. The  abbreviation  L  stands  for   .    12. The  unit  meter  refers  to  measurement  of   .    13. The  unit  gram  refers  to  the  measurement  of   .    14. The  unit  liter  refers  to  the  measurement  of   .    15. The  abbreviations  for  the  units  for  mass,  volume,  and  length  respectively  are   ,   ,   and   .    16. Since  chemists  often  measure  quantities  that  are  much  smaller  or  larger  than  the  basic  units  of  grams,  liters,   and  

meters,  it  is  convenient  to  change  the  basic  units  so  they  are  also  smaller  or  larger.    17. Adding  a  prefix  to  the  words  gram,  liter,  and  meter  can  change  the  basic  units  quite  simply.    18. One  such  prefix  is  kilo,  which  means  one  thousand.   For  example,  one  kilometer  means  one   meters.    19. A  thousand  grams  can  more  conveniently  be  expresses  by  the  word   .  

7     7  

20. A  thousand  liters  can  more  conveniently  be  expressed  by  the  word   .    21. The  prefix  meaning  one  thousand  is   .    22. One  thousand  grams  is  equal  to  one   .    23. One  thousand  meters  is  equal  to  one   .    24. One  thousand  liters  is  equal  to  one   .    25. The  unit  kilometer  could  be  used  to  measure   a)  volume   b)  mass   c)  length    26. The  unit  kilogram  could  be  used  to  measure     a)  volume   b)  mass   c)  length    27. The  unit  kiloliter  could  be  used  to  measure     a)  volume   b)  mass   c)  length    28. A  kilogram  is   a)  larger  than  a  gram     b)  smaller  than  a  gram.    29. A  liter  is     a)  larger  than  a  kiloliter     b)  smaller  than  a  kiloliter    30. A  gram  is   a)  1000  kilograms     b)  0.001  kilograms    31. The  word  kilometer  is  abbreviated  km,  kilogram  is  abbreviated  kg,  and  kiloliter  is  abbreviated  kL.    32. kL  stands  for   one

Part  5:  Scientific  Notation    

Many  numbers  used  in  chemistry  are  very  large  or  very  small,  hence  it  becomes  cumbersome  to  write  them   in  conventional  form.     For  this,  and  other  reasons,  these  numbers  are  written  in  exponential  form.  

 

1. The  number  100  can  be  thought  of  as  10  x  10  or  102  .   In  the  form  102  the  number  2  is  called  the  exponent  and  it   means  to  multiply  ten  by   .  

 2. In  the  number  105  ,  what  is  the  exponent?            

3. The  exponent  5  means  to  multiply  10  x  10  x  10  x  10  x  10.   This  is  equal  to   .    4. Notice  that  the  exponent  in  #  2  was  5  and  the  number  of  zeros  in  #  3  was  also  5.     The  exponent  then  gives  the  

number  of   in  the  number.    5. What  is  the  exponent  in  the  number  104  ?            6. How  many  zeros  will  the  number  104  have  when  it  is  multiplied  out?            7. Write  out  the  number  represented  by  104  .            

8. Write  the  number  1000  in  exponential  notation  (using  an  exponent  with  the  number  10)  by  counting  the  number   of  zeros  and  using  that  as  the  exponent.            

 

9. Write  the  number  1,000,000,000  in  exponential  notation.            

10. The  number  138,000  can  be  thought  of  as  1.38  x  100,000,  or  in  exponential  notation,  it  would  be   .    11. The  decimal  point  was  moved  5  places  to  the  left  in  writing  the  number  138,000  as  1.38  x  105.   The  exponent   could  

also  be  though  of  as  the  number  of  places  the  decimal  point  is  moved  to  the   .    12. Write  the  number  2,780,000  in  exponential  notation.          

 

13. Practice  on  the  following  numbers:    

a.   3.48  x  103        =            

b.   48,000  =                                                        

c.    1.50  x  1014     =            

d.   8.770,000,000,000  =          14. The  number  0.1  can  be  thought  of  as  1/101  or  10-­‐1  .   The  exponent  in  the  number  10-­‐1   is   .  

 15. The  number  0.001  can  be  thought  of  as  1/1000  or  1/103  or        

 16. In  changing  0.001  to  1  x  10-­‐3  ,  the  decimal  point  was  moved  three  places  to  the  right  and  the  exponent  was  -­‐3.   Change  

0.000001  to  exponential  notation   .  

10     10  

16. The  number  0.000459  can  be  thought  of  as  4.59  x  0.0001  or  4.59  x  10  -­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐.  

17. The  decimal  point  was  moved   places  to  the  right  in  changing  0.000459  to  4.59  x  10-­‐4.  18. Practice  on  the  following  numbers:    

a.   0.000000711   =            

b.    9.91  x  10-­‐14     =          

c.   0.402   =                        

d.    4.18  x  10-­‐13     =            

19. The  exponent  becomes  more  positive  when  the  decimal  point  is  moved  to  the   (right  or  left?)    20. The  exponent  becomes  more  negative  when  the  decimal  point  is  moved  to  the   (  right  or  left?)    

21. When  two  exponential  numbers  are  multiplied,  the  exponents  are  ADDED.   For  example:   (2.00  x  103)  

(6.00  x  105)  =  12.0  x  108     or  1.20  x  109  

It  is  usually  best  to  have  only  one  non-­‐zero  digit  to  the  left  of  the  decimal.   This  is  a  convention  (or  agreement   in  the  scientific  community)  that  helps  scientists  compare  data,  and  is  called  STANDARD  SCIENTIFIC   NOTATION.  

 Standard  scientific  notation  shows  a  number  between  1  and  9  to  the  left  of  the  decimal  called  the   COEFFICIENT  and  an  exponent  of  10.  

 

coefficient  -­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐>     9.4368   x  106       <-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐  exponent

 

22. Multiply  the  following:    

(1.50  x  102)  (4  x  103)  =            

(2.5  x  108)  (4  x  10-­‐3)  =              

(4.0  x  10-­‐2)  (4.0  x  10-­‐2)  =          

(3.50  x  10-­‐1)  (4.00  x  106)  =          

(7.50  x  105)  (2.00  x  106)  =            

(8.50  x  10-­‐3)  (2.50  x  10-­‐5)  =          

(1.90  x  1014)  (8.00  x  10-­‐14)  =        

11     11  

 

23. Any  number  whose  exponent  is  zero  is  equal  to  one.   For  example:   100  =  1    

Therefore,  85  x  100  =  85  x  1  or         and     49  x  100  =          

24. To  divide  numbers  in  scientific  notation,  the  coefficients  are  divided  and  the  exponents  are  subtracted.   For  

example:   (3.6  x  104)  /  ((2.0  x  103)   =  1.8  x  101  

25.   Divide:   (8.4  x  104)  /  (2.0  x  102)  =          

(3.60  x  1018)  /  (4.00  x  109)  =          

(3.50  x  103)  /  (5.0  x  10-­‐3)  =          

(5  x102  )  /  (1  x  105)  =          

(3,12  x  10-­‐4)  /  (8.00  x  10-­‐7)  =          

(4.68  x  103)  /  (2.34  x  105)  =          

(7.50  x  10-­‐8)  /  (2.50  x  106)  =          

26.   When  adding  or  subtracting  numbers  in  scientific  notation,  the  exponents  must  first  be  adjusted  to  the  same  magnitude.  

 For  example:   2.0  x  105  +  2  x  104        =   2.0  x  105  

+  0.2  x  105  -­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐  2.2  x  105  

Then   4.0  x  102  +  9.0  x  103     =   0.40  x  103  +  9.0  x  103     =          27. Add  or  subtract  the  following:  

a.   8.5  x  107  +  7.1  x  106     =          b.   4  x  105     +   3  x  103     +   2  x  102     =          c.   8.1  x  104     -­‐   7.1  x  104     =          d.   6.3  x  103     -­‐   6.3  x  102     =          e.   6  x  106     +  5  x  108     =          f.   1.35  x  107     +   2.00  x  105     =          

g.   9.18  x  104     -­‐   1.1  x  103     =          

h.   4.67  x  10-­‐5     -­‐   3.00  x  10-­‐6     =          

12     12  

     

28. The  number  (2  x  104)2  means  the  same  as  (2  x  104)  (2  x  104)  =        When  a  number  in  scientific  notation  is  raised  to  a  power,  the  coefficient  is  raised  to  the  power  (multiplied  by  itself  as  many  times  as  the  power  indicates),   and  the  exponents  are  multiplied.  

 29. Solve:   (3  x  103)2     =          

 (2  x  105)5     =          

 (4.1  x  108)2     =          

 

30.   In  extracting  square  roots  (power  of  ½)  of  exponential  numbers,  first  adjust  the  exponent  to  an  even  number   and  then  divide  it  by  2.   For  example:  

 (1.6  x  105  )½        =     (16  x  104   )½        =   4  x  102  

 31.   Solve:   (1016)½     =          

 (2.5  x  10-­‐7)½     =          

(640  x  10-­‐11)½     =            

The  square  root  problems  were  chosen  to  be  perfect  squares  for  convenience.   If  a  number  is  not  a  perfect  square,  the  exponent  is  still  made  even  (and  therefore  divisible  by  2)  and  the  square  root  of  the  coefficient  is  obtained  by  using  a  calculator.  

 32.   The  cube  root  of  a  number  would  be  obtained  in  a  similar  manner.   First,  the  exponent  is  adjusted  to  a  multiple   of  

3.   Then  the  cube  root  of  the  coefficient  is  taken  and  the  exponent  is  divided  by  three.  For  example:  

 (80  x  1011)1/3     =    (8.0  x1012)1/3     =   2  x  104    

(12.5  x  1016)1/3     =
