Conversions If you know ONE conversion for each type of measurement, you can convert anything! You must memorize and be able to use the metric conversions:
Conversion Factors Fractions in which the numerator and denominator are EQUAL quantities expressed in different units Example: 1 ft = 12 in. Factors: 1 ft. and 12 in 12 in 1 ft. Example: 1 g = 102 cg. Factors: 1 g. and 102 cg 102 cg 1 g
How many minutes are in 2.5 hours? Conversion factor 2.5 hr x 60 min = 150 min 1 hr

Complex Units
YOU TRY IT The density of gold is 19.3 g/mL. What is gold’s density in decigrams per liter?
NEW UNITS These are units you have never used but you must know for the rest of the year. 1 mole of any element or compound = its mass 1 mole of any element or compound = 6.02 x 1023 representative particles
CONVERSION FACTORS How to calculate mass, using the periodic table: Na = 23.0 g and Cl = 35.5 g 23.0 + 35.5 therefore 1 mole of NaCl = 58.5 g 58.5 g
Practice pROBLEM You are given 3.5 moles of NaCl, how many grams of NaCl do you have?
CONVERSION FACTORS Nothing to calculate, the number of particles is the same for every element therefore 1 mole of NaCl = 6.02 x 1023 Particles or 1 mole of NaCl 6.20 x 1023 particles
Practice pROBLEM You are given 3.5 moles of NaCl, how many particles of NaCl do you have?
