The practical uses of scientific notation are to compute very large or very small numbers.
Tell you what: I'll describe the practical use, and then you can find the example. OK ?The practical use of scientific notation is to greatly simplify the writing, reporting,and remembering of very large and very small numbers.
Scientific notation takes one digit before the decimal point and uses multiples of 10 to represent the rest of the digits. In this case, scientific notation is not really practical. The answer is 1.003 x 101
The uses of scientific notation in chemistry are to compute very large or very small numbers.
They don't usually.
It is not. "Scientific notation" uses a base of 10. The correct notation would be 1.251 x 10^8

Any practical uses, only for scientific experiments.
Scientific notation gives a compact notation, which is especially useful for writing down - and doing calculations with - very large, and very small, numbers.
Because it uses fewer digits as for example 9,000,000,000,000,000 in scientific notation is 9.0*10^15

Dealing with numbers that are very large or very small.
Scientific notation doesn't stop at a centillion. 1 centillion in scientific notation is 1 * 10303, but you can also write 1 * 10304 or even 9 * 109999999 in scientific notation. There is no upper limit to the numbers you can write in scientific notation.
It is 8.9*10^-5 in scientific notation
