Dimensional Analysis

Conversion factors are relationships between two units. Dimensional Analysis Many problems in chemistry involve using relationships to convert one unit of measurement to another. Conversion factors are relationships between two units. May be exact or measured. Both parts of the conversion factor have the same number of significant figures. Conversion factors generated from equivalence statements. e.g., 1 inch = 2.54 cm can give or

Problem Solving and Dimensional Analysis, Continued Arrange conversion factors so the starting unit cancels. Arrange conversion factor so the starting unit is on the bottom of the conversion factor. May string conversion factors. So we do not need to know every relationship, as long as we can find something else the starting and desired units are related to :

1. Write down the given amount and unit. Systematic Approach 1. Write down the given amount and unit. 2. Write down what you want to find and unit. 3. Write down needed conversion factors or equations. Arrange conversion factors with starting unit on the bottom. Arrange other conversion factors to cancel previous units until the final unit is isolated

Systematic Approach, Continued 4. Perform the calculations Check that units cancel properly. Multiply terms across the top and bottom, then divide 5. Determine the number of significant figures to report and round. 6. Check the answer to see if it is reasonable. Correct size and unit.

Practice Convert the following: -7.8km to miles (1km = 0.6214 miles) -30.0g to ounces (1oz = 28.32g) -30.0mL to quarts (1 mL = 0.001 L; 1 L = 1.057 qts)

Practice -7.8km to miles (1km = 0.6214 miles) = 4.8 mi (2 sig figs) -30.0g to ounces (1oz = 28.32g) = 1.06 oz (3 sig figs) -30.0mL to quarts (1 mL = 0.001 L; 1 L = 1.057 qts) = 0.0317 qt (3 sig figs)
