Dimensional Analysis
Introduction
Dimensional Analysis (also known as the Factor-Label Method) is a problem-solving technique that takes advantage of the fact that any number or expression can be multiplied by one (1) without changing its value. It is a useful technique in chemistry. You may end up thinking that chemistry is simply a math problem - which is definitely not the case. Let’s take a look at how this process can help us understand quantities involved in chemical processes.
