Part 4: Practice with Unit Conversions/Dimensional Analysis Use the conversion factors below to do some unit conversions. Make sure to show your work. The ones in bold are conversion factors that are written on your Chem 2A formula sheet. You will be given this sheet to use during exams. 1 in = 2.54 cm (exact) 1 mi = 5280 ft 1 gal = 3.785 L 1000 mL = 1 L 1 mL = 1 cm³ 1 lb = 453.59 g 100 cm = 1 m Here are a couple of example problems: Question: Convert 25.0 inches into centimeters. Map: in → cm. Answer: 25.0 in x (2.54 cm / 1 in) = 63.5 cm Question: Convert 5.2x10⁶ inches into miles: Map: in → ft → mi Answer: 5.2x10⁶ in x (1 ft / 12 in) x (1 mile / 5280 ft) = 82 mi Question: How many gallons are equivalent to 865 cubic centimeters? Map: cm³ → mL → L → gal Answer: 865 cm³ x (1 mL / 1 cm³) x (1 L / 1000 mL) x (1 gal / 3.785 L) = 0.229 gal 21. How many milliliters (mL) are in 43.2 gallons (gal)? Map: Answer: 22. What is the length of a 10.0 km race in centimeters? Map: Answer: 23. Convert 0.045 pounds into milligrams. Map: lb → g → mg Answer: 0.045 lb (453.59 g / 1 lb) x (1000 mg / 1 g) = 2.0 x 10⁴ mg
