Dimensional Analysis

Today in Chemistry we went over using Dimensional Analysis. Its basically a fancy word for problem solving and converting units. This was basically a review of math but using formulas we just learned and putting them to work. These formulas made converting much more easier.

Converting is easy as:
1. Identifying what units you to end up with
2. Find the Conversion Factors
3. Place units in the appropriate place
4. Cancel units

e.g.
How many miles are equal to 120 km?
