    Thank you so much! My school chem teacher really sucks at teaching. She taught us with a T chart like wtf but thank you UR AWESOME

    thanks now im starting to understand this a bit more. because, my teacher expects us to learn in in 20 minutes it takes me a bit longer then this. so i appreciate this presentation. it was really helpfull. thanks again.

    Don't we have to limit our digits to a certain amount of significant figures? 😔

    I do not have time to make you a chart, but I have another video up that does the kind of conversions you are asking about...dimensional analysis part II. thanks for watching!

    Why wouldn't the answer for the Milk one be 3784?

    What a great tutorial and with more than one good example. This has been very helpful and your voice is perfect. No highs or lows to distract from the lesson and a perfect tone all the way through. Thank you so much. I look forward to watching more of your tutorials.

    In the 2nd problem how did you know how many significant figures to round to?

    thanks, my chemistry teacher barely speaks "Engrish". Also she dosen't teach, she just tells us to print out packets and learn. this helps a lot.

  • @brittanyriley2175
    @brittanyriley2175 10 лет назад +15

    Excuse me where can I find all of these conversions? I'm taking a chemistry course is this something that I need to memorize?

    @jewel4christonly 9 лет назад +15

    I don't get any of this ? sigh. 5:34 I just don't get how you get that kind of answer. I just started chemistry today, and this problem is in the first lesson.

  • @ttjay87
    @ttjay87 10 лет назад +15

    for the one gallon of milk question...how did you come up with 3.8x10^3....I calculated 3784 mL

    • @abudi88ful
      @abudi88ful 9 лет назад +3

      its the same answer, but she used scientific notation to write the answer, search it up on youtube and learn it if you want, its very simple.

    • @kishilam5782
      @kishilam5782 9 лет назад +1

      you have to round the number up to 3800 and then use Sig Figs to get 3.8x10^3
      LOL 7 months later...

    • @cortantrump9324
      @cortantrump9324 9 лет назад

      she rounded

    • @BlkBeauty561
      @BlkBeauty561 9 лет назад +1

      My too. I guess she was using significant digits. she rounded up. Right now the decimal place is behind the 4 but you moved it behind the three and the 8 turned the 7 into 3.8 she had to move the decimal point 3 spaces to the left therefore her answer is 3.8*10 to the 3rd power

    • @lovebear1432
      @lovebear1432 9 лет назад +4

      You round it to the correct sig figs and use scientific notation

  • @phase866
    @phase866 9 лет назад +4

    Question: This is going to make me sound like an idiot, but bear with me: when I completed the conversion, I got 182.88cm
    Obviously there is some kind of rounding involved, but I just can't wrap my head around it. Can someone explain?

  • @xrslife2011
    @xrslife2011 11 лет назад +1

    Im new to chemistry, can someone explain how she got the 7.6 x 10^3 does this have to do with significant figures???

  • @afuantics175

    THANK YOU, after 3 years I get it now lol

  • @77scapegoat
    @77scapegoat 11 лет назад +2

    yup, 17000 has 5 sig figs. final answer is 7598.055556. rounded is 7600.01. or 7600 or 7.6 10^3. i think thats how it works

  • @SquirrelStopMotion
    @SquirrelStopMotion 11 лет назад +4

    This was exactly what I needed, thanks for the tutorial!

  • @77scapegoat
    @77scapegoat 11 лет назад

    so yeah, the question is what do we base our final si fig on? is it how many are in 17000, 5?

    I show my students how to work backwards. Once they identify the dimensions for the answer, they know what dimensions have to be in the numerator and/or denominator, placing the factors to provide those dimensions where they are needed, and cancelling the rest as they work back toward the given information. It is more of a game than work unless you have to do a lot of them in one sitting.

    @kenia7113 8 лет назад +7

    Ugh...it's a bit confusing. I mean I get how you got your answer for 3:02 but then you say divide by the number at the bottom...and if you do that you get 91.44...

  • @halonothing1
    @halonothing1 10 лет назад +3

    Why are some of the conversion factors you give rounded up/down to the nearest 1 while others are rounded up/down to the nearest tenth or hundredth? This seems kind of inconsistent.

  • @TheChemistrySolution
    @TheChemistrySolution  12 лет назад +1

    @maryammagic1 I just worked the problem again and got 7.6 x 10^3...try it again, maybe you accidentally put one of the numbers into your calculator wrong :)
