Chemistry 8-29-22 Conversion Factor HW & the Big Donut Problem

CHEMISTRY: Lots of great practice today using conversion factors! How did you do on your homework? And what about the big donut problem? If you were absent, be sure and watch this vodcast to make sure you are doing the problems correctly. You must show correct work to get credit.

Were you able to think through the longer conversion factor problems? Remember, you’re not just trying to get an answer. Most importantly, you are learning to express a logical progression of thought – from one unit to another. Keep practicing until you can do it by yourself with no help!!

  1. SI Prefixes can be very helpful in my own life for one of many reasons. One reason being for whenever I am cooking, I will know how to accurately convert measurements to another without screwing up the entire recipe due to not knowing how to convert properly.

  2. The SI-Prefixes can be a struggle sometimes when I forget the conversion factors, but writing them out and using the Q-formula (QS=QG+CF) really helps with organizing. It is especially helpful in complex 2-3 step problems when a lot of information is being presented and you have to convert in multiple ways. for next week to better prepare I will work more problems to better prepare myself for quizzes or tests using this work.

  3. The homework was challenging but it got easier the more that I did it. Working harder and working multiple problems really helped me. Learning to work hard can help on many ways. One way it can help me in life is now I know that is I work hard at work, in activities, and in other subjects the better I will get at them.

  4. We learned about conversion factors and Q formula this week. Those are both things that we can use in the future in almost every aspect of life. When cooking or baking we might need to convert measurements, or if we are in a different country and the speed limit is different for example we need to know how to convert it to a unit we know. We need to know SI prefixes for future jobs too. For example, a pharmacist will need to know units of mass or volume to accurately measure medicine.

  5. Even though conversations can be challenging. This skill can help me in my every day life while cooking or baking. We can also use conversion factors or the q formula to convert miles to km while driving if we ever need to.

  6. This week we learned about conversion factors and the Q formula. We learned how to solve multi step problems using the Q formula in our homework from Monday and Tuesday night. Learning how to solve multi step complex problems and trying to figure out the right number to use for the quantity sought (QS) was quite challenging. The more I practiced working the problems the easier they got. This goes to show that the more you practice something the easier it will be. Conversion factors and the Q formula are two things I will be able to use in my everyday life from here on out. If I am baking in the future or decide to go and visit a different country I will be able to convert measurements using conversion factors.

  7. This week we learned about conversion factors, and even though some of them can be really challenging, I think they can also be really helpful. For example, when I’m cooking I will be able to convert units when I need to. That way I’ll be able to make smaller batches of something if needed.

  8. This week we have learned about conversion factors. Learning them was pretty difficult at first but now I’m starting to understand them better. Knowing conversion factors helps me in my everyday life. For example, when I’m in the kitchen cooking or baking, I may have to convert cups to tablespoons and knowing how to do conversion factors helps me with that.

  9. This week we learned about conversion. While confusing I feel like I understood them very well. I can also use them in every day life like when im trying to figure out how liters of coke im drinking when its in milliliters

  10. This week we have learned about how to use conversion factors in chemistry. This will be of good use in chemistry during test and other things, but it also helps in real life situations. One example may be if you are cooking, and you don’t have a measuring cup of the right size. You can convert your measurement into a measuring cup that you already have. A good idea for Stars Web post Comment Ideas can be solving a problem that we solved in class and telling the way that we solved it or telling which formula that we used.
