Chem conversions....

Published

I was wondering if there are any good websites out there that just have a list of conversions galore?

I ask b/c the web pages I have found are for "figuring" conversions. I just want a list.

We have moved out of dimensional analysis and although I do undertand it, I have some trouble w/ the conversions. I feel like a dummy b/c I don't know my conversions. I didn't know there were 2.54 cm in an inch, or that there are 5280? ft in a mile. Although I think my instructor is great, she makes me feel like an idiot. Help would be appreciated.

I am sure there must be, our book actually had them in the appendix. If you don't find any I could scan my books page for you.

There was a way our professor taught us the dimentional analysis where a conversion chart wasn't necessary. It had to do with knowing with converting the BASE unit from one form to another BASE unit.

It had to do with 10 and an exponent with either a 1 as a numerator or a denominator. It's a little tricky, but once you learn it, you'll throw the conversion chart out the window.

Talk to your professor b/c this is what is usually taught to Chem majors.
