Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.9 Unit Conversions and Dimensional Analysis skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A recipe calls for 2.5 cups of water. The label says 1 cup = 240 mL.

Approximately how many liters is 2.5 cups?

A6.0 L

B0.60 L

C0.06 L

D60 L

Solution & Explanation:2.5 cups × 240 mL/cup = 600 mL. Convert to liters: 600 mL ÷ 1000 = 0.60 L.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A student sees two expressions: (m/s)×s and (m/s)+s.

Which statement best describes what dimensional analysis predicts?

ABoth are allowed because units can always be ignored.

BAdding gives meters because s turns into m automatically.

CMultiplying gives meters because units cancel, but adding is not allowed because the units are different.

DMultiplying is not allowed because it mixes two units.

Solution & Explanation:Units cancel when multiplying or dividing, so (m/s)×s → m. Addition requires matching units, so (m/s)+s is not meaningful.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A chemical reaction rate is 2.0×10^-3 L/s.

What is this in m³/min? (Use 1 L = 1×10^-3 m³.).

A1.2×10^-7 m³/min

B2.0×10^-6 m³/min

C1.2×10^-1 m³/min

D1.2×10^-4 m³/min

Solution & Explanation:Convert L to m³: 2.0×10^-3 L/s × 10^-3 m³/L = 2.0×10^-6 m³/s. Convert to per minute: 2.0×10^-6 × 60 = 1.2×10^-4 m³/min.
