Chemistry Unit 1: Scientific Notation- Introduction

Express each of the following numbers in scientific notation.

1. 10,000 6. 427,000
2. 0.0001 7. 0.00000801
3. 10,000,000,000 8. 0.00000000000002960
4. 0.00000000000010 9. 7,900
5. 517,300,000,000,000 10. 4.67

Express each of the following scientific notation into numerical form (long numbers).

1. 1.9 x 105 6. 2.33 x 1010

2. 3.45 x 10-4 7. 1.00 x 10-7
3. 1 x 10-3 8. 6.34 x 100
4. 7.05 x 108 9. 1.750 x 10-6
5. 4.530 x 10-2 10. 8.009 x 103

Using scientific notation to find the product of the following (Addition and subtraction)

Example: (2.00 x 103 + 2.00 x 104 = 2.20 x 104) or (3.20 x 10-2 – 2.00 x 10-3 = 3.00 x 10-2)

1.) 4.50 x 10-9 + 3.50 x 10-8 4.) 6.50 x 109 - 3.50 x 108

2.) 1.50 x 1021 + 2.75 x 1022 5.) 9.75 x 102 - 3.50 x 101

3.) 4.50 x 10-9 + 3.50 x 10-8 6.) 2.50 x 105 - 3.25 x 106

Use scientific notation to find the product of each of the following (convert multiplier to scientific
notation and show work.)

Example: 200 x 300 so… (2 x 102) x (3 x 103) = 6 x 105

1. 30,000 x 7,000 = 6. 10,000,000 x 0.00005 =

2. 0.0004 x 0.03 = 7. 3,000 x 0.0005 =
3. 400,000 x 50,000 = 8. 0.0000000005 x 0.0008 =
4. 0.00000006 x 3,000 = 9. 0.000007 x 80,000 =
5. 900,000 x 0.000000009 = 10. 2,000,000 x 900 =

Use scientific notation to find the product of each of the following (convert multiplier to scientific
notation and show work.)

Example: 200 / 300 so… (2 x 102) /(3 x 103) = 0.5 x 10-1 but.. must be 5 x 10-2

1. 90,000 / 3,000 = 6. 100,000,000 / 0.0005 =

2. 0.00004 / 0.003 = 7. 30,000 / 0.0005 =

 3. 400,000 /50,000 = 8. 0.0000000005 / 0.0008 =
4. 0.00000006 / 3,000 = 9. 0.0000072 / 8000 =
5. 900,000,000 / 0.0000003 = 10. 27,000,000 / 0.009 =
