Accuracy and Precision
• Accuracy is a description of how close a measurement is to the true value of the quantity measured.
• Precision is the exactness of a measurement.

Significant Figures (sig figs)
• Sig Figs tell us how good the data we are using are.

Calculations with Sig Figs:Addition and Subtraction
Your answer can only be as accurate as the least accurate measurement used in the calculation.
1. Complete the calculation.2. Determine the number of digits to the right of the
decimal point in each measurement used in the calculations.
3. Round answer so that it has that same number of digits to the right of the decimal as the measurement with the smallest number of digits to the right of the decimal.
Example: 3.95 g + 2.87 g + 213.6 g
![Page 17: Chapter 1 Section 3: Measurements and Calculations in Chemistry](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/5681526b550346895dc09f84/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Example
3.95 g + 2.87 g + 213.6 g = 220.42 g
3.95 g has 2 numbers after the decimal2.87 g has 2 numbers after the decimal point213.6 g has 1 number after the decimal point
Therefore, the answer must have 1 number after the decimal point.
Answer = 220.4 g

ExampleSolve: 4.999 mL – 1.2 mL
4.999 mL – 1.2 mL = 3.799 mL
4.999 mL has 3 numbers after the decimal1.2 mL has 1 number after the decimal
Therefore, the answer must have 1 number after the decimal.
Answer = 3.8 mL

Calculations with Sig FigsMultiplication and Division
Your answer can only be as accurate as the least accurate measurement used in the calculation.
1.Complete the calculation.2.Determine the number of sig figs in each
measurement used in the calculations.3.Round answer to the same number of sig figs as the
least accurate measurement.
Example: 651 cm x 75 cm
![Page 22: Chapter 1 Section 3: Measurements and Calculations in Chemistry](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/5681526b550346895dc09f84/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
ExampleSolve: 651 cm x 75 cm
651 cm x 75 cm = 48825 cm2
651 cm has 3 sig figs75 cm has 2 sig figs
Therefore, the answer must have 2 sig figs.
