Converting Units using Multiple Conversion Factors

To see all my Chemistry videos, check out
socratic.org/chemistry
How do you use more than one conversion factor? Here, we'll learn how to combine multiple conversion factors into a row so that you can convert units in more than one step using the factor label method or dimensional analysis.

this channel is saving my life. I have gotten the worst chemistry teacher EVER this year, and thanks to you I get everything. so happy I found this.

Yoooo.. he breaks it down so well

[@mckenna8663]

BINGO!!! Found my KZbin Chemistry guy. I had one for A/P I and II. Found one that I think will do for Microbiology. And now you for Chemistry!! Thanks... you did for me within less than 2 videos what years of other teachers weren't able to teach (or make sense to me). My hat's off to you, sir!!

[@jesseleyva3356]

Same! Who did you find for Microbiology? I'm still looking

[@mckenna8663]

Jesse Leyva​ .. well.. biology professor for beginning lessons.. but so far i haven't found one who is as fully comprehensive as the A/P (Wendy Riggs)... but Taylor and Biology Professor are helping.

[@jesseleyva3356]

Oh alright. Thank you

[@808warnings]

late to the party but who did you find for A&P II??

[@toytrojon1873]

Kalle S crash course

[@brydakainma]

I wish you taught my chemistry class.

I am a sophomore in high school doing dual credit chemistry and this literally has saved my butt

[@dawndillon3690]

On your tablespoon conversion into liters. Your write out equation to get the answer show a 12. Where did you get the 12? Or was it meant to be 16?

[@dawnapitzer1365]

confused at that as well. I get everything but that 12... and were it comes from

[@tevvmusic]

@@dawnapitzer1365 it was an error , supposed to be 16

[@GiveMehWotah]

Me as well lol

[@melissakimmel6629]

Tyler, I'm an a adult returning to school after MANY years away. Your videos are getting me through this! Thank you, I'm so glad I found your channel.

[@judymallett2625]

Tyler I'm sure you've never heard". YOU'RE AMAZING" Thank you so much. You're my "real" chemistry teacher. My college owes you $$$

[@isaiahaddoo8944]

This was perfect. I actually understood what you said and how to do the problems. My chemistry teacher did such a horrible job at explaining this today, and still expects us to have a test on it tomorrow. But thanks to this video, I won't fail!

[@Matt-bz1fx]

How did u do on the test

[@dunedain05]

You are a life saver!!!! I have already used so many of your videos this semester for Chem 111. Idk what your career plans are but you make a great teacher, and you dont leave out the "dumb" stuff and leave people behind!!!!

[@tdewitt451]

You're right! Thanks for pointing that out.

[@superchessmachine]

This guy has to be one of the most appreciated guys in history

[@jesseleyva3356]

Martha Lozano why so mad?

[@r1g8p7]

I just finished watching this video that was posted six years ago. I figured the 12 was a mistake. Thank you for the video. Have a good day/night.

[@alyssaramirez469]

I love your videos. I felt so lost in chem class till I found your channel. I wish you were my professor! I appreciate you going step by step and helping students. I will definitely recommend you to others. Thank you, Tyler!

[@shawnmendes9875]

I had to watch this for class, and you explained great! To all the students who want to finish the video faster, but still learn the concept, I recommend watching at 1.25 speed.

[@tdewitt451]

great question. here are two videos that will help answer it: "significant figures with counting numbers" and "using significant figures practice problems (1.9)"

[@jackiesinaa]

Oh my gosh you made my life so much easier. I literally spent the past 4 hrs trying to understand unit conversions the way my professor taught my class, but you just made it so easy to understand in 10 mins of a youtube video! Thank you so much for explaining this! Now I know I will ace this quiz tmrw!

[@marthafrenz1061]

Ive seen tons of videos for unit conversions and yours is the only one i've actually understood! you're great!!!

[@-zelcouth5646]

I was having a very difficult time understanding these kinds of problems in my class and I have an exam tomorrow. Luckily, youtube exist and your videos came up first on the list. You are a life saver. Was seeing these kinds of problems difficult to understand but practice does make a difference and once again thank you sir.

[@Boosiebae]

Third day of class my professor said we have a quiz on Conversions next week & she never once went over it in class . Found your youtube videos figure out how to do the worksheets she gave us & hopefully I ace the quiz!! Thank you so much!!!

[@DrLili-DrawnByTheDevil]

Thank you so much! I'm taking prep to general chemistry. And the way the teacher explained this hurt my brain..... I was not getting it. But I understood the way you explained it perfectly! You are a life saver!

[@baronchadwick7254]

YOU MUST BE THE BEST TEACHER ALIVE. I am taking an online chemistry class this semester, so i know it is going to be difficult. I am trying to finish up my Nursing pre-reqs, and really had no choice. My teacher had your videos linked to her class, and i will continue watching them. thanks so much .God bless ya

[@blueraspberrycharms]

Helped me A ton! Thank You!

[@ruthgutierrez3834]

LOVED this stuff! Was a little error-prone in high school but when I studied pharm. tech 40 years later and had to calculate i.v. drip ratios, and compounding ratios, etc., it was child's play for me compared to the technique in the text book.

Great Job with these videos Tyler! You make it very easy to understand this information. Thank you very much!

This method is awesome and very helpful how you explain it, but I think that for the last example there is a 12 written instead of 16 on the bottom of the screen.

I'm a little bit confused on the 3rd math problem in min 9:32 of the video. Why would we need to multiply 350 by 1/12 in the calculator when he wrote in the fraction "350 * 1/16...."? Also, thanks so much for your videos. They have saved me after DAYS of online searching and video watching other videos just to understand this and other topics. :)

[@summermitchell6606]

You da real mvp

[@SwerveCity77]

Tyler, your videos are awesome! they're extremely detailed and you go step by step to make sure we understand everything. i only have one question though, on most chemistry tests they will not give you the "breakdown" of what converts to what. like in the example of "what is 350 tablespoons in Liters?", most tests will not tell us that "1 cup = 16 tbsp" or that 1 gallon is equal to 3.785 L. I would have NEVER thought to think about how many tbsp are in a cup, which is very frustrating because it seems impossible to remember all these conversions... do you have any advice on what to think about when trying to break down these problems? thanks!
