In chemistry, conversion factors are essential for changing units, such as converting grams to units of count. For example, if you have 9900 grams of donuts, each weighing 150 grams, you can find the total number of donuts using the conversion factor of 150 grams per donut. By establishing a conversion factor, we convert 9900 grams into the number of donuts using the formula: (9900 grams) x (1 donut / 150 grams). This process is fundamental in chemistry for quantifying substances in various units.

  1. Conversion Factor

  2. In chemistry it is often useful to be able to convert from one unit to another • For example, we may want to know how many atoms are in a particular number of grams of a substance

  3. Conversion Factor • A conversion factor is an equality between two units that is used to change from one of the units to the other • Example: 12 donuts are in a dozen or

  4. 36 dozen 12 = 3 dozen = If you have 36 donuts, how many dozen do you have? 1 dozen Use this conversion factor 12 donuts 1 dozen 12 donuts 36 donuts x 1 dozen 12 donuts 36 donuts x =

  5. Let’s try converting donut mass to number of donuts…

  6. If you have 9900 grams of donuts, how many donuts do you have if each donut has a mass of 150 grams?

  7. If you have 9900 grams of donuts, how many donuts do you have if each donut has a mass of 150 grams? What is the relationship between grams and donuts? 150 grams = 1 donut

  8. 150 g 1 donut 1 donut 150 g 150 g = 1 donut these are your conversion factors

  9. The question is… If you have 9900 grams of donuts, how many donuts do you have if each donut has a mass of 150 grams?

  10. begin with the amount given in the problem The question is… 9900 grams If you have 9900 grams of donuts, how many donuts do you have if each donut has a mass of 150 grams? 9900 g

  11. converts grams to donuts The question is… If you have 9900 grams of donuts, how many donuts do you have if each donut has a mass of 150 grams? each donut has a mass of 150 grams

  12. The question is… If you have 9900 grams of donuts, how many donuts do you have if each donut has a mass of 150 grams? how many donuts do you have
