What conversion factors and constants you need to ‘memorize’
This goes for the quiz on Monday and the rest of the course….
-You NEVER have to memorize constants (mass of proton, gas constant, planks constant) I will always give you the ones you need for quizzes.
- Some equations you will need to memorize, but few and I will always make it clear which you need to memorize.
-The only conversion factors you need to memorize are those from simple metric prefixs. So for example, you need to know that the prefix ‘m’ means milli which means 0.001, so you need to know that 0.001L = 1mL (or 1L = 1000 mL) but also that 1000 mm = 1m. You are responsible for the following prefixes ONLY:
c (0.01)
m (0.001)
k (1000)
M (1,000,000)
