2. Convert the following expressions into exponential notation:

Example: - 4.7 picometers = - 4.7 x 10-12 pm
101 micrograms = 1.01 x 10-4 g
a. 3 gigameters = _________________________
b. 2.5 nanoseconds = _________________________
c. 57 micrometers = _________________________
d. 8.3 megagrams = _________________________
e. 0.000292945 s = _________________________
f. - 82454.09 g = _________________________
g. - 0.00000324683 kg = _________________________

3. Use appropriate metric prefixes to write the following measurements without use
of exponents:
Example: 1.434 x 105 m = 143.4 km
5.9 x 10-5 s = 59 s
a. 7.29 x 106 g = _________________________
-10
b. 6.1 x 10 m = _________________________
c. 1.828 x 10-3 s = _________________________
9 3
d. 3.523 x 10 m = _________________________
e. 9.62 x 102 m/s = _________________________
-9
f. 8.923 x 10 kg = _________________________
g. 3.552 x 1012 L = _________________________

4. Indicate the number of significant figures in each of the following measured

quantities:
Example: 4.402 x 105 m/s = 4 significant figures
5 x 10-6 s = 1 significant figure
a. 902.5 kg = _________________________
b. 0.0096 L = _________________________
c. 92.03 km = _________________________
d. 782.234 g = _________________________
e. 62.65 km/hr = _________________________
f. 78.00 K = _________________________
g. 250 mm = _________________________
