    Hey, great video as usual! When you're doing all the conversions you don't round them to sig figs correct? For the last example I keep getting 94.48272009 in^3 and rounding to two sig figs would get me 94, I am assuming I am a few decimal numbers off because of sig figs or when I cubed 2.54cm?

  • @milagrosgranados1316
    @milagrosgranados1316 2 роки тому

    Yay! I got all the practice problems correct! The last one was tricky because of all the conversion factors. I was unaware when I come across something like 75g/mL that I can make that into a conversion factor. This is so new to me. I always got stuck when I came across something like that. I also was unaware you can square or cube a whole section in a conversion factor. My professor kept doing this last semester and I just didn't understand. I'm like where did that come from? How can you do that. I was completely lost. He just kept responding oh you will get it sooner or later. Last semester was online so it was very difficult for me. I passed the class with a "C". That wasn't the grade I wanted. I will be retaking Chemistry(I) in person this time. I want to get a better grade and retaking this class will help me better understand Chemistry (II).
    I don't understand Melissa every time I do the practice problems at the end of your videos I am getting everything correct and I feel like a rock star but when its with school its seems more difficult and the way the problems are written are confusing. I end up failing or barely passing. Your practice problems are straight forward and easy for me to understand.

    @brendaa.t 4 роки тому +1

    I understand how to find density but I can’t figure out the volume. My teach just gave us a question that said “you have a 250 mL graduated cylinder containing some water. You drop three marbles with total mass of 95.2g into water. What is the average density of a marble?” In order to find the volume I need the initial water amount and then I’ll be able to solve for the volume of the three marbles no? I’m confused on this part I hope someone sera’s this. This is suppose to be review of Honors chem to prepare for AP chem but if I can’t do this then idk how ima do In the class.

    Hi, I did the last practice problem exactly how you showed in the video and I got 59 inches cubed and I was wondering if that's what you meant by 95 (just a typo) or if it was something I did wrong?

    • @melissamaribel
      @melissamaribel  5 років тому +2

      Hey Kimberly so double check your set up for this question because it should give you 95 inches cubed. Here is what the set up should be:
      2.7 lb x (1kg/2.2 lb) x (10^3 g/ 1 kg) x (1 cm^3 /0.791 g) x ( 1 in / 2.54 cm)^3
      Make sure to cube the last conversion factor so you'll have this:
      2.7 lb x (1kg/2.2 lb) x (10^3 g/ 1 kg) x (1 cm^3 /0.791 g) x ( 1 in^3 / 16.387 cm^3 )

    • @melissamaribel
      @melissamaribel  5 років тому

      It’s because there is no conversation factor that allows you to jump from mL to nm. But there is a conversation factor for ml to cm. Which is the 1 ml = 1 cm^3. From there you can use the density to help you go to grams. If this isn’t making sense I recommend watching these two videos first they will help you better understand the setup. ua-cam.com/video/7voNNBbMcxE/v-deo.html.

      The number of significant figures depends on the value you are initially given. For the first example at 1:03 the question gave us two different numbers, 25.0 and 0.702 both values have 3 sig figs. Therefore your answer will be rounded to 3 sig figs. If we instead have 25 and 0.702 we would round to the lowest amount of sig figs between these given values. 25 would have 2 sig figs and 0.702 has 3 sig figs so our final answer would only have 2 sig figs.
