Even if you can write conversion factors and cancel units, that doesn't necessarily mean that you actually understand what you're doing. Here, we'll look at how conversion factors work and what the math means. You'll understand the unit conversions that you're working on, so you'll be able to look at the answer you get and decide whether it makes sense.
I hate hate hate conversion factors. I swear one night I started crying while doing chem I, and I told myself that I do not even want to become a doctor anymore because if I cannot convert I cannot do anything else. Thank god to this video though!! You explain a million times better than my professor. Thank you so much Tyler!!Instead of changing my life career I will just come to your channel instead. You saved me !!
Yes, this! I feel so stupid because I just couldn't grasp the concept!
same here 🙋🤦😭😭😭😭
no one asked
same bro
Are you a doctor now?
Tyler DeWitt, for Chem 1 YOU are the only one I watch. no one else hits the spot. Thank you for doing what you do. You help low income students who can't afford a tutor. You're the best!!!!
Amen
same! He's my favorite. My online chem teacher recommended his videos. haha
saaaaaaammmmmeeeeeeeeeee!!!.Thank you so much Dewitt.
This sounds like a kink
You're an amazing teacher! I learned conversion in 10 minutes, and didn't grasp it in my hour and a half class in college..thank you!
You're teaching my entire class! Our own professor doesn't do as well as you!!!!! We appreciate you, and the time you take to make each video. We are Finally understanding chemistry. Thank You!!!
Professor I have to do this in 6th grade :(
Same
He helped me get through chem honors my junior year and now he's helping me through chem my freshman year of college. Quality stuff.
Sir, is your back tired from carrying all these classes?
bruh
i'm rounding 22.526 to 2 significant figures because there are 2 sig figs in 23 km. it's very important to understand how to round with significant figures; you can watch my videos on that topic, starting with "significant figures made easy!"
You inspire me to overcome my irrational fear of chemistry and hate of being educated in general. This fear caused by not only my own negligence to applying myself in high school, but having the type of teachers that make you wonder how they ever received that job in the first place. Sitting in class after class, never truly learning, just storing knowledge that holds an expiration date and will eventually disappear from my memory. Lately, I've learned the importance of why it's so important to understand "WHY" and now I'm asking it mentally all the time. You have confirmed that importance, I believe it will lead to tremendous success. Teaching students is such a big responsibility and privilege because you have the potential to inspire or destroy future world changers. Thank you Tyler. I really appreciate your videos. I'm choosing to stay in my chemistry course this semester because of you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. You truly have a gift for teaching and explaining things the way you do. I spent my entire college career avoiding chemistry, and just could not postpone it any longer. I am a registered nurse going back for my psychiatric nurse practitioner degree. I see how you have helped so many people, myself included, further their education. I want to say thank you for taking something so intimidating and making it very much approachable. You are helping so many people reach their career goals so they can in turn help others. Keep making a difference, Tyler. God bless you.
Hey I know this is many years later but I’m going to school to be a registered nurse if you don’t mind helping me out on finding the best path
I love how Tyler explains the steps, breaking down the conversions. His instructions are easy to understand. I will be using his videos for all my math classes. Also, I wouldn't say I like conversions, but what I hate more are rounding numbers. Some things I can understand, and they click, but for some reason, I just can't grasp rounding. I will check out Tyler's video to help.
This will help you determine which goes in the numerator and whats the denominator:
What ever unit you want to get rid of, you put it in the denominator, and what ever unit you would like to end up with goes in the numerator.
So at 4:46 when it was
1ft
96in x -------- = 8ft
12 in
The 1 ft went into the numerator because he wanted his answer to be in ft, and put the inches at the bottom because he didnt want his answer in inches. Thats how my Engineering teacher told us.
Hope that helped :)
Lol this is what im always searching about which number goes on top and bottom. Thak you so much
thanks
The most helpful videos I have come across. I look for your videos to help explain either the background info or step by step instruction to complete an equation. I am so thankful for your videos. You are the best!!!! Thank you!
Its 2020 and your videos are helping me pass my chemistry class! Thank you so much, i was having so much anxiety before i found your page. May God bless you with greatness always!!
I appriciate the time you put to make these videos . I'm a foreigner and I graduated 15 years ago from my high school and almost forgot everything . Anyways i decided to study dental hygiene and chem 1 was the prerequisite for this major . Eventhough I passed my tsi test but having a hard time to learn everything in a different language with different methods of teaching and not having a good professor who only reads his PowerPoints for us which we can do it ourselves too made me decide to quit studying it but your videos opened the door of hope for me and not yo give up . You are making everything simpler Clearer and more understanding. God bless you .thanks thousand times
That was what I hated about college: they have no interest in learning. Their singular goal is data input, to create robots who can pass exams and move along. The problem is that the courses are designed specific to the field, so if you do not actually learn the material, actually understand what you are doing, how and why, then when you enter the real world, enter that field, the education becomes meaningless.
Che Marshall Wow. Well said!
+Che Marshall you do that in collage? I have to do it as a sophomore! XD lucky! and ya i hate it too.
Abdur Rahman Well, I like me better than anybody else who's running! :)
but it is YOUR education, not theirs. it is your job to seek out that deeper understanding. it's foolish to think you can just show up to class and leave having mastered the material. life doesn't work like that
+Brian Lenhart Well, you see, I am here, because I have the privilege of being able to reach this resource. Not everyone has that privilege, many, many children do not have that privilege, nor the guidance of someone to point them in the direction of life-long learning. Those children are dependent upon their educators to be that guidance, upon people like myself, and people like you, and above all people like Patrick here. It's foolish to assume that everyone has the life course that will lead them to become self-motivated, intrepid, life-long learners.
This really catered to my learning style. 9 years later, thanks for the video brotha!
Thnak you so much! You made this topic sound so easy, and it made me realise how easy it actaully was instead of overthinking it. Awesome lesson!
BLESS YOUR KIND SOULD THANK U SO MUCH FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO MAKE THESE VIDEOS
Tyler, YOU. ARE. AMAZING. I have been dreading this class! I am a 35 year old returning college student with no chemistry experience, and you have made this SO easy to understand the material! Since you came into my life I am an A chemistry student! Keep doing what you do!!
You are so helpful!!!!! I'm finding myself coming to you every day after Chemistry class now to see how you explain things.
I know I'm WAY LATE to the praising party... But I suffered from brain damage in late 2019... Forgot nearly EVERYTHING I learned in my math classes throughout high school and my most recent math courses. I was so terrified. I want to be a teacher, but what teacher can't remember math!?
I recently began attending a new University, and YOU sir, have made things SO GOSH DARN AMAZING!!!
Conversion factors hurt my head so bad, I feel like my concussion is coming back. However! You help make it simple and easy to understand!!
Thank you, SO MUCH!!!!
you literally answer every question a student may have or ever wondered
As soon as you said: 'I hate conversions...' I was hooked! You the man!
Fantastic video!.
This is a great tool for my online students.
Thanks for sharing for the love for teaching.
You will be a great instructor.
God bless youtube and the internet. I can learn so much with as many details in a short period of time.
You make learning fun again. Nobody can explain this stuff the way you do. We are so lucky for your help. Thank you so much!
Your videos have saved me this semester! THANK YOU for taking the time to teach other people!!! I am so grateful to have found your videos. First time back in school in a long time and taking chemistry, i forgot all the math. SO THANK YOU!!!!!
FINALLY....now THIS makes sense!!!!! I am being taught Con/Fac by a professor with a PhD....he could not explain it so that I understood WHY I am doing WHAT I am doing!!! Ok, it's official, you're my tutor from now on! Thank you sooooo much for your help, it means a lot to so many of us!!
A comprehensive aprroach..finally that addresses the real problem of not seeing relationships. Great teacher!
I have watched your other converting unit videos and I am more comfortable with doing it then before. By the time I got to this video I was extremely burnt out BUT I loved that you took the time to explain why this method is helpful and useful. In my Principles of Chemistry it doesn't explain why and when it tells us how it is just to difficult to grasp. So thank you for this video!
Dude THANKYOU! I’m 39 years old and I’m just now understanding why I can cancel things out! Always had this weird mental block!
OMG didn't even watch the entire video yet but was compelled to write a comment bc I feel like your speaking directly to me. I need to understand what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. I need to understand what the questions are asking me to do and feel confident that I know what I'm doing. Besides the just mentioned, my main issue is setting up the equation in the way that I'll get the correct answer. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH can't wait to finish watching your videos!
I am starting from absolute zero chemistry knowledge and i understood this 3 mins in !! this guy is brilliant
This video was very helpful in helping me understanding conversion factors. I seriously hate them but atleast now it makes sense.
The best thing is like the relationship between the two units - if one is smaller or bigger than the other. Amazing!
You saved my life. Literally. Thank you so much!!! You're such a great teacher!!!!
My Chem instructor has an accent and talks fast.. so all your videos are great in addition to reading my text books and trying to understand my notes from class lectures.. Thank Tyler for taking the time in making and uploading. Liked and Subed
Tyler Dewitt is literally carrying me through chemistry this semester. Wish all teachers had this tremendous gift.
Seriously. Its as if they cant relate at all to struggling students
Can't believe this. You are so much better than my professor at explaining this topic. Thank you sooo much. This was really helpful.
Amen! You put that into perspective. I’m currently taking chemistry in college and although I understand it. I often ask why? Or how?? Love this. Thank you
You rock. I have an A in college algebra but this stuff has thrown me for a loop. I didn't know why until now. I was missing the why in it all. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
I thank God for you. I am making efforts to get into a University. I have to pass tests to be considered enrolled in their degree program. Thank you for "truly and honestly" teaching throughoughly for my understanding. God bless you Tyler!
Thank you soooooooooo much!!!!! seriously you saved my life. your explanations were so easy and clear to understand. Nothing or anybody have been able to explain this to me for the past 3 weeks and finally tonight I came across your videos and yes!! i did it!!!
Khan Academy needs to get some ideas from you. :)
You teach better than the professor at the university I go to. Thanks a lot man. I understand it now!
Wow! You are absolutely amazing!!! I love the way you explain things
Beginning my second semester of college after being a high school dropout warehouse worker for twelve years. Your videos are super helpful especially for my astronomy class. THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much for doing this in a conversational way and addressing the logic. I teach adult learners who are also English language learners, and I can't wait to show this to them :)
Tyler, you do such an amazing job with your videos. You have truly made a connection we me to which I understand chemistry so much more. I must have seen every video of yours in regards to chem, and these really helped pull me thorugh the semester. You have a good thing going, and I hope you remian inspired to teach.
SUPERHELPFUL BRO, ive always just thought through this kinda problem, now my uni require it to be displayed as you do! very helpfull stuff
I hated conversion factors.... until this video. Im looking forward to meet my students with my new sense of reasoning and love for CF!
Your videos are nice! I am a Physics teacher and I use conversion factors to teach. It's convenient for cancelling units and for them to easily identify 'big' from 'small' units, but understanding conversion without the conversion factors for them is quite refreshing too, Thank you very much. Even your "Hey science teachers -- make it fun" video is nice. Keep up the spirit, you're inspiring us!
I’m so thankful that I’m crying. I’m doing prerequisites and I understood it the first time my instructor explained it. But then now I’m lost. Thank you!!!! ❤️
I love the way you teach. Keep up the good work.
I agree!
bruh you just saved my whole grade. youre the man.
OMG! Tyler just saved my "Chemistry" Life!
You are the Guru Tyler🙏😹. I’ve watched your other chemistry problems and never had I felt it so easy before . Thank you so much .
You earned me a 51 on my test. Just FYI, I was going to bomb out at maybe a 2 without you. You brought my understanding up a lot! Thank you for these videos, all these years later.
you are making conversions and significant figures so easy to understand! Thank you for doing this!
Thanks that helped a bunch! I love how well you put it, very easy to understand and straight forward!
Thanks you so much! It helped me to review for my conversion of units test! I forgot how so I watched this video and it helped me remember how to convert units! Thanks again!
Always always a great teacher. One of the best guys on the Internet.
Thank you for the detailed explanation, I did it without understanding what I was doing. Now it makes much sense to me. Thank you so much!!!!!!
I am so glad I found your channel! You are so clear and concise! Thank you so much for making these videos!
crying tonight!!!! this totally helped. thank you so much
I took my ptcb exam yesterday and pass. I love videos like these they are a blessing.
You are great I hope you be my teacher for real , I have a midterm after two hours please all keep your finger crossed n pray for me to pass
The video you want is called "Unit Conversions with Area and Volume."
I couldn’t understand anything in my chem 305 college class until i found your page MHMMMMM THANK YOU !!
I salute you mr.u knw how much I gain from just watching your lectures.
keep making them videos man, i love how you explain every single thing :D
you are the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest!!!!! you've helped me in the past but this semester I will focus on your way of teaching for chem 1 and pre cal :(
thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for this. I was not understanding this at all. Your explanation made all the difference.
I love these videos! They are really helping me with chemistry stuff, thanks a bunch.
Thanks Tyler. You have got it so right. Thank you for telling me why I cancel. It sounds basic but I need to understand why I am doing something. Thank goodness somebody understands we are not robots. Keep up the good work.
Tyler, you got me through chemistry & I can see that your gonna get me through my nursing entrance exam. I THANK YOU for the simplistic way you make these very difficult subjects sooooo understandable. Don’t know if you believe in God, but to me, your a GODSEND!!!
whats up. just wanna give you a quick shoutout. your videos are very helpful and informative. my teacher uses your videos to give us online assignments in Chem honors. you seem really likable. i wish you luck in whatever career you might persue in the science feild and thanks a lot for all of your help in school
I have struggled with these for a long while. This made perfect sense, thank you! :)
Dude thank you so much. my understanding for it was a lot easier than in class. I really appreciate this video man.
Thank you so much. I have felt the same way. Just doing the conversions without understanding why. Your explanation makes sense. Thanks.
I wish I had this guy as a teacher! Subscribed!
This is the video I was waiting for, I asboultely hate following rules of maths without actually understanding the mathmatics of it.
Such a great teacher! The least I can do is give you a like!
This video is awesome I just want to thank you for taking the time out to create it, it really did help. It me helped actually understand the conversion factoring, my teacher just started us off with big problems without even explaining first; but anyways I just want to say thanks for breaking it down it really helped.
Im in love with your teaching... Thank u sir❤
You are amazing!!! Once you understand the material it is sooo much easier to solve it! The way these conversions are taught like robots make zero sense and most people don't know what they are doing. THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING AND MAKING PEOPLE THINK AND ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND! You are amazing!!!
Your videos are so helpful; especially since I forgot my chemistry text book at school but I have a test tomorrow.
Love this guy! He helped me pass my Sig Fig test! 😊
You are a great teacher! It makes sense now! Thank you so very much : D
Wish I would have found you at the beginning of my semister. Great job
I love you OP you are my guardian angel. May you forever have upvotes and internet points
I like the way you correct yourself lol, thanks for this.. I understand you more than my teacher :)
MAN UR BLESSED no wonder why you teach that good
Thanks so man. Day 3 in Chemistry 101 in college and Im lost. These videos helped me out so much!!!!!

I just can't pass this video without liking and subscribing ur Chanel thanks so much
Im a freshman in my class and thee way my teacher was explaining this to me made no sense but watching this video opened a lightbulb
Mans carrying our IB Chem class
Wow! Your so awesome! Wish you were my teacher you make everything so much easier...you are a true God send...I may just pass this chemistry class after all...I was having a hard time visualizing the metrics...you totally totally ROCk!
He is teaching the proper way normally teacher teach to pass a test and that is why you don't remember alot even a few weeks after a test
