Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The density of ammonia gas in g/L is to be converted to g/cm³.

Concept introduction:

Dimensional analysis is used to set up and solve a unit conversion problem using conversion factors.

Dimensional analysis is a way to convert units of measurement. In order to convert one unit to another, the relationship between those units is to be predicted. These relationships are called conversion factors.

${\text{1 L = 1000 cm}}^{\text{3}}$, to convert liter to cubic centimeter, the conversion factor is $\frac{1000{\text{cm}}^3}{1\text{L}}$.
