🔬 Chemistry by Chang – Problem 1.17 | Scientific Notation | Steemit Science
Hello Steemit learners! ✍️📘
Let’s tackle a fundamental but incredibly useful concept from Raymond Chang’s Chemistry (14th Edition). This one comes from Chapter 1: Measurement and the Properties of Matter, where we learn how to express numbers in scientific notation — a must-have skill for anyone working in science or engineering.
🔹 Problem 1.17:
Scientific notation allows us to work easily with very large or very small numbers, which is especially important when dealing with microscopic measurements or astronomical scales.
📸 Here’s the step-by-step solution I worked out:
