Why do we use conversion factors instead of just multiplying or dividing as needed? What’s the advantage?

Chemistry

Scrat [10]3 years ago

If you’re referring to stoichiometry, which usually involves the long t-tables of multiple conversions, then you’re not alone in wondering the purpose of using them. The purpose of conversion tables is to help keep track of what you’re doing. When quickly converting one value to another, it’s very easy to forget a particular piece to the puzzle, or to use a factor that doesn’t work for that instance. Teachers usually draw out a t-table every time they work a problem so as not to confuse students, but anytime you’re working with funky units or converting across systems (metric to imperial and vice versa) it’s a good idea to use them.

List a possible set of four quantum numbers (n,l,ml,ms) in order, for the highest energy electron in gallium?
Elena-2011 [213]
Gallum: Z = 31

electron configuration: [Ar] 4s^2 3d10 4s2 4p1

Highest energy electron: 4p1

Quantum numbers:

n = 4, because it is the shell number
l = 1, it corresponds to type p orbital 
ml = may be -1, or 0, or +1, depending on space orientation, they correspond to px, py, pz
ms = may be -1/2 or +1/2, this is the spin number.

Refer to the following illustration. How many hydrogen atoms could bond with oxygen?
WITCHER [35]
2. 

The reason why is because there are 2 available electron spots on the orbital for the oxygen atom. Hydrogen atoms have one proton and one electron, thus, in order to fill the oxygen atom orbital to a full outer shell, a maximum of 2 atoms could bond with the oxygen atoms. 

6 electrons (oxygen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)= 8
