Chemical Principles
Uncertainty
Scientists report measured quantities so that the number of
digits reflects the certainty in the measurement. Write mea-
sured quantities so that every digit is certain except the last,
which is estimated.
Units
Measured quantities usually have units associated with them
The SI unit for length is the meter; for mass, the kilogram; anc
for time, the second. Prefix multipliers such as kilo- or milli
om often used in combination with these basic units. The S
d to the third powe
(b) 7.68 m
