A student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement.
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
The final answer has a different set of units. In particular, meters (m) changes to centimeters (cm). To make this change, you need to multiply the first value by proportions.
When writing these proportions, it is important that they are arranged in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. For instance, since m is located in the denominator, it must be located in the numerator of the conversion.
<u>Proportion:</u>
1 m = 100 cm
The full expression:
<h3>As you can see, the old unit (m) cancels out and you are left with cm in the denominator.

You can turn this into a system of variables which are solvable.
To do this, create variables for the coefficients of each compound in the reaction respectively.
Because to be balanced, the count of atoms in each element of the compound correspond to the coefficient of the variable in that compound so that the count of the left (reactant) side is set equal to the right (product) side.
a corresponds to the coefficient of the first compound, b corresponds to the coefficient of the second compound, c corresponds to the coefficient of the third compound, and d corresponds to the coefficient of the fourth compound.
(Reactant = Product)
Reactant: 1a [N] Product: 1c.
Reactant: 3a [H] Product: 2d.
Reactant: 2b [O] Product: 2c + 1d.
Thus the system is:
1a = 1c
3a = 2d
2b = 2c + 1d.
Then just use the substitution methods to solve.
