Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Chemistry Scientific Notation Worksheet: Complete with ease ...
Let's solve each part of this chemistry worksheet step by step. I'll go through Part A, Part B, and Part C with clear explanations.

---

Part A: Express each of the following in standard form



We convert scientific notation to standard (decimal) form.

1. $ 5.2 \times 10^3 $
→ Move decimal 3 places right: $ 5200 $

2. $ 8.05 \times 10^{-4} $
→ Move decimal 4 places left: $ 0.000805 $

3. $ 9.6 \times 10^5 $
→ Move decimal 5 places right: $ 960,000 $

4. $ 3.71 \times 10^0 $
→ Any number × $10^0 = $ itself: $ 3.71 $

5. $ 5.5 \times 10^1 $
→ Move decimal 1 place right: $ 55 $

6. $ 6.460 \times 10^2 $
→ Move decimal 2 places right: $ 646.0 $

7. $ 8.77 \times 10^{-3} $
→ Move decimal 3 places left: $ 0.00877 $

8. $ 9.4 \times 10^{-5} $
→ Move decimal 5 places left: $ 0.000094 $

Part B: Express each of the following in scientific notation



Convert standard numbers to scientific notation (format: $ a \times 10^n $, where $ 1 \leq a < 10 $).

1. $ 78,000 $
→ Move decimal 4 places left: $ 7.8 \times 10^4 $

2. $ 0.00053 $
→ Move decimal 4 places right: $ 5.3 \times 10^{-4} $

3. $ 200 $
→ Move decimal 2 places left: $ 2.0 \times 10^2 $

4. $ 2.657 $
→ Already between 1 and 10 → $ 2.657 \times 10^0 $

5. $ 180 $
→ Move decimal 2 places left: $ 1.8 \times 10^2 $

6. $ 0.9043 $

7. $ 8.70 \times 10^{-1} $
8. $ 1.054 \times 10^{-2} $

---

Part C: Use the exponent function on your calculator (Y^x or EXP) to compute the following



We will use rules of exponents and scientific notation:

- $ (a \times 10^m) \times (b \times 10^n) = (a \times b) \times 10^{m+n} $
- $ \frac{a \times 10^m}{b \times 10^n} = \left(\frac{a}{b}\right) \times 10^{m-n} $
- For powers: $ (a \times 10^m)^n = a^n \times 10^{m \times n} $

Let’s solve each one:

---

1. $ (6.02 \times 10^{23})(8.00 \times 10^3) $
→ Multiply coefficients: $ 6.02 \times 8.00 = 48.16 $
→ Add exponents: $ 10^{23+3} = 10^{26} $
→ $ 48.16 \times 10^{26} $ → Convert to proper scientific notation:
→ $ 4.816 \times 10^{27} $

2. $ (6.00 \times 10^{23})(8.00 \times 10^3) $
→ $ 6.00 \times 8.00 = 48.00 $, $ 10^{23+3} = 10^{26} $
→ $ 48.00 \times 10^{26} = 4.80 \times 10^{27} $

3. $ \frac{6.00 \times 10^{23}}{8.00 \times 10^3} $
→ $ \frac{6.00}{8.00} = 0.75 $, $ 10^{23-3} = 10^{20} $
→ $ 0.75 \times 10^{20} = 7.5 \times 10^{19} $

4. $ (-4.00 \times 10^4)(7.00 \times 10^{-3}) $
→ $ -4.00 \times 7.00 = -28.00 $, $ 10^{4 + (-3)} = 10^1 $
→ $ -28.00 \times 10^1 = -2.80 \times 10^2 $

5. $ \frac{3.00 \times 10^{-2}}{6.00 \times 10^{-3}} $
→ $ \frac{3.00}{6.00} = 0.5 $, $ 10^{-2 - (-3)} = 10^{1} $
→ $ 0.5 \times 10^1 = 5.0 \times 10^0 = 5.0 $

6. $ \frac{7.66 \times 10^{48}}{6.02 \times 10^{23}} $
→ $ \frac{7.66}{6.02} \approx 1.272 $, $ 10^{48-23} = 10^{25} $
→ $ 1.272 \times 10^{25} $

7. $ (3.00 \times 10^3)^2(8.00 \times 10^4) $
First: $ (3.00 \times 10^3)^2 = 3.00^2 \times 10^{3 \times 2} = 9.00 \times 10^6 $
Then: $ (9.00 \times 10^6)(8.00 \times 10^4) = 72.0 \times 10^{10} = 7.20 \times 10^{11} $

8. $ \frac{(6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{5.54 \times 10^3} $
Numerator: $ 6.02 \times 1.00 = 6.02 $, $ 10^{23 + (-3)} = 10^{20} $ → $ 6.02 \times 10^{20} $
Denominator: $ 5.54 \times 10^3 $
Divide: $ \frac{6.02}{5.54} \approx 1.086 $, $ 10^{20 - 3} = 10^{17} $
→ $ 1.086 \times 10^{17} $

9. $ \frac{(6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{5.54 \times 10^3} $
→ Same as #8 → $ 1.086 \times 10^{17} $

10. $ \frac{(6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{5.54 \times 10^3} $
→ Again same → $ 1.086 \times 10^{17} $

Wait — looks like #8, #9, #10 are identical? Possibly typo in worksheet. But assuming it's correct:

Let’s recheck #8, #9, #10:

Actually, looking again:

#8: $ \frac{(6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{5.54 \times 10^3} $ → already done → $ 1.086 \times 10^{17} $

#9: $ \frac{(6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{5.54 \times 10^3} $ → same → $ 1.086 \times 10^{17} $

#10: $ \frac{(6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{5.54 \times 10^3} $ → same → $ 1.086 \times 10^{17} $

So likely a copy-paste error in the worksheet.

But let's proceed with what's written.

Now continue:

11. $ \frac{(6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{5.54 \times 10^3} $ → again same → $ 1.086 \times 10^{17} $

Wait — no, actually, the next ones are different:

Looking at the original image text:

11. $ \frac{(6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{5.54 \times 10^3} $ → same as above → $ 1.086 \times 10^{17} $

12. $ (6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3}) $
→ $ 6.02 \times 1.00 = 6.02 $, $ 10^{23 - 3} = 10^{20} $ → $ 6.02 \times 10^{20} $

13. $ \frac{1.00 \times 10^{-3}}{7.00 \times 10^{-3}} $
→ $ \frac{1.00}{7.00} \approx 0.14286 $, $ 10^{-3 - (-3)} = 10^0 $ → $ 0.14286 $ → $ 1.4286 \times 10^{-1} $

14. $ \frac{(1.00 \times 10^{-3})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{6.02 \times 10^{-3}} $
Numerator: $ 1.00 \times 1.00 = 1.00 $, $ 10^{-3 + (-3)} = 10^{-6} $ → $ 1.00 \times 10^{-6} $
Divide: $ \frac{1.00 \times 10^{-6}}{6.02 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{1.00}{6.02} \times 10^{-6 - (-3)} = 0.166 \times 10^{-3} = 1.66 \times 10^{-4} $

15. $ (7.00 \times 10^4)^3(3.00 \times 10^{-3})(6.02 \times 10^{23}) $
Step-by-step:
- $ (7.00 \times 10^4)^3 = 7.00^3 \times 10^{4 \times 3} = 343 \times 10^{12} = 3.43 \times 10^{14} $
- Now multiply: $ (3.43 \times 10^{14})(3.00 \times 10^{-3}) = 10.29 \times 10^{11} = 1.029 \times 10^{12} $
- Then: $ (1.029 \times 10^{12})(6.02 \times 10^{23}) = 6.19458 \times 10^{35} \approx 6.19 \times 10^{35} $
