The number of conversion factors used for each problem will depend on the types and number of equivalences that you use. Problem: A student needs 2,361 μL of ethyl alcohol for an experiment. He will use a graduated cylinder that reads in milliliter gradations.
In these practice problems, we will go over conversion factors and their use in dimensional analysis for length, mass, volume, and density.
USING CONVERSION FACTORS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS. We solve many real word problems by converting units within measurement system (metric or customary) and between measurement systems (customary to metric or metric to customary).
Introduction. In this tutorial you will learn to use conversion factors to solve a variety of problems that arise in chemistry. Roughly 90% of all the mathematics done in beginning chemistry involves using one or more conversion factors. Conversion factors come in a many forms.
