The fraction is always exactly equal to ' 1 ', and so it doesn't
change the value of the quantity that you multiply by it.

What is an equality and how is it used to write a conversion factor?

Any fact involving 2 measurements that are exactly the same, but were done with different scales. 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters: this is an equality. This can make two conversion factors... (1 in / 2.54 cm) or (2.54 cm / 1 in) To write a conversion factor place one side of the equality in the numerator (top) of a fraction and the other side in the denominator (bottom) of the fraction.


How do you transform a statement of equality into a conversion factor?

To transform a statement of equality into a conversion factor, you express the equality as a fraction. For example, if you have the statement "1 inch = 2.54 centimeters," you can create two conversion factors: ( \frac{1 \text{ inch}}{2.54 \text{ cm}} ) and ( \frac{2.54 \text{ cm}}{1 \text{ inch}} ). These fractions can be used to convert between the two units by multiplying by the appropriate factor depending on the desired conversion direction.

Why cant molar mass be used as a conversion factor?

Molar mass is a property of a single substance and is not inherently a conversion factor. To use it as a conversion factor, you would need to relate it to other units (e.g., grams to moles) through Avogadro's number. It serves as a bridge between the macroscopic scale (mass) and the microscopic scale (number of particles) in chemistry.

Define conversion factor?

A conversion factor is a numerical factor describing the proportionality between two units. For example 0.45359237 is the conversion factor from pounds to kilograms. That is 0.45359237 kg/lb. If the conversion factor kg/lb is multiplied with 4 lb, you get the same mass value in kg.
