Dimensional Analysis

In this post, we going to be talking about dimensional analysis. This is something that we will be doing thought out this chemistry series.
Dimensional analysis is used to convert one unit to another. For example kilometers to miles, seconds to light years, and much more. We are just going to be going over the basics here. I am also going to be including some YouTube videos at the end to help you with these concepts.
The first thing you need to know is what a conversion factor is. These are statements of different but equivalent units. A common example is 1 foot = 12 inches. SI multipliers, ratios, and numbers with multiple units such as 1g/mL (would be written as 1 gram per milliliter), and more that we will get into this series.
