Instructions

You may print this sheet, if you wish, but it is not necessary. Please show work carefully and clearly put a box around the final result of your calculation. This means that every conversion factor must be shown and you must show the units that cancel out. Scan your work and submit it as a PDF. Problems will be scored out of a total of 10 points each. Your score will be 70 plus however many points you earn. The bonus question is worth 5 extra points and it is permitted to earn up to 105.

Did you remember to show your work properly? The point of this lesson is not the correct answer, which you could Google anyway. The point is to learn the skill of unit conversion, which is an important one throughout your chemistry course.
