Dimensional Analysis: Converting Units with 1 or 2 Conversion Factors

Converting units can be tricky if you don't know how to pick the right conversion factors or set up the dimensional analysis problem. Luckily in this video, I will explain how to easily pick the correct conversion factors each time and what the setup for Chemistry questions with 1 or 2 conversion factors looks like.

🙌 This was my go-to homework help when I was in school. Chegg Study is one of my favorites.

📚 I made the mistake of buying all of my textbooks, I wish I had the option of renting them. Thankfully you do, with Chegg Textbook Rentals.

💁‍♀️ HI I'M MELISSA MARIBEL
I help students pass Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. I used to struggle with this subject, so when I finally graduated with a bachelor's degree in Chemistry, I became a tutor so that you wouldn't have to struggle like I did. I know that with the right help, YOU CAN LEARN ANYTHING!

The production on these makes them so much easier to follow. Can't believe you don't have more views on these videos!

I cannot thank you enough! I was up last night trying to figure this out, I am a student at UCF and Mrs. Maribel took time from her busy day to message me back and even direct me in the right direction. Thank you again!

[molliewalkenbach]

Youve helped me so much in two minutes than my professor did in 15 power point slides! Thank you so much!!!! Your videos are going to help me pass chem!

[tiffanydelgadillo]

You're a true blessing 🙌 Thank you for making these videos. You have no idea how helpful you are. Thank you a million times 🙏🙏

[stargirlvia]

Thankss I think ima pass my chem quiz now 😍

I am confused to why you used meters in the example (Convert 21 yards to the following units)

[iknowitstoolate]

you should show us how to do more complicated dimensional analysis problems. i am struggling with them right now in chem class because they are a lot more complicated than the ones in your dimensional analysis videos :///

[Izzyrodriguez]

I wish you had videos for physics too :(. You have mad chemistry so much easier for me.

[familiamachado]

this is amazing! thank you very much ❤❤

PD: i don't know if I understood correctly what are significant figures
so if instead of 21 mi we would have had 211 our significant figures would be uo to 3 significant figures?

[josephineosullivan]

Do I have to remember all the common convertion factors to do the chemistry placement test?😓

[natashaachloee]

my question is how can you get the conversion factor of 1.0936 yard - 1 m?

[treeross]

Idk about proper set up but I just did 63/5280 because i knew 5280 ft is one mile.

[karnmattu]

For part b why couldn’t we just do yards to feet to miles

I like your videos, they are very clear, but I find my self having to rewind it like 100 times to keep up with you bc you go soooo fast. 😢 But thank you for your help.
