C. Johannesson
A. Accuracy vs. Precision
Accuracy - how close a measurement is to the accepted value
Precision - how close a series of measurements are to each other
ACCURATE = CORRECT
PRECISE = CONSISTENT
C. Johannesson

B. Percent Error
A student determines the density of a substance to be 1.40 g/mL. Find the % error if the accepted value of the density is 1.36 g/mL.

C. Significant Figures
Indicate precision of a measurement.
Recording Sig Figs Sig figs in a measurement include the
known digits plus a final estimated digit

Calculating with Sig Figs Multiply/Divide - The # with the fewest
sig figs determines the # of sig figs in the answer.

B. Dimensional Analysis
Steps:
1. Identify starting & ending units.
2. Line up conversion factors so units cancel.
3. Multiply all top numbers & divide by each bottom number.
4. Check units & answer.
