The set of unit conversion practice problems created for Chemistry students. In my classroom it went in conjunction with aluminum foil lab where students had to determine how many atoms thick was a sample of aluminum foil.
The lab was revisiting the concept of density and required conversion of atomic height from pm to cm. So, we had a practical reason to practice conversions.

1. Convert from one unit to another:
Use your reference tables to find the atomic radius and density of elements.
Example (please, do the following conversions similar way)
Convert the height of Fe (iron) atoms to cm 2.48 x 10-8
cm
Fe = 124 pm x 2 = 248 pm
Convert the height of K (potassium) atoms to cm ________cm
Convert the height of Na (sodium) atoms to m ________m
Convert the height of Ne (neon) atoms to dm ________dm
Convert the height of Cu (copper)atoms to nm ________ nm
2. Convert the height of Mn (manganese) atoms to km ________km
Example (please, do the following conversions similar way)
Convert the density of Fe (iron) to kg/cm3
0.00787 kg/cm3
d (Fe) = 7.87 g/cm3
Convert the density of K (potassium)to kg/cm3
_________kg/cm3
Convert the density of Na (sodium) to kg/L _________ kg/L
Convert the density of Ne (neon) to g/L _________ g/L
3. Convert the density of Cu (copper)to kg/L _________ kg/L
Convert the density of Mn (manganese) to g/cm3
_________ g/mL
