Dimensional Analysis is a way of doing numerical "book-keeping"
when converting quantities or performing calculations.
• When converting quantities from one unit to another,
conversion factors are used.
Solving with Dimensional Analysis and Multiple Units:
If I am in Canada where the price of gas is $1.022 USD·L1, how
much will it cost me to fill up my gas tank if I travelled 125 km?
• Let's also assume that my car gets
an average of 30.0 miles/gallon.
Methyl benzoate is an oily liquid with a boiling point of 199°C. What volume of methyl benzoate is needed to prepare 5.8 grams of benzoic acid? The density of methyl benzoate is 1.08 g·cm⁻³. Molar masses are given in Figure 4. [Give only the number without the unit. Give the answer in cubic centimetres and round to 1 decimal place. Use a decimal point.] *
