I need help understanding what this question is asking it says:

[Using dimensional analysis do 16 calculation of the conversion from the data table, with correct significant figures and units.]

So please if you could break the question down and help me understand it more better or even a little bit that will be a lot of help and greatly appreciated

  1. dimensional analysis just means to use a conversion factor. (molar mass, avogardo's number, density, etc.) you take the number you want to convert and then multiply it by the conversion factor and end up with a new conversion. that's basically it. i can't help you too much since you don't have a lot of information.

    sig figs:

    multiply or divide, you have the same amount of sig figs as your smallest number. i.e, you have 3.42 x 4.5551, you would only have your answer to 3 sig figs since that is the most precise answer.

    add or subtract, the least places of the smallest number. i.e, 4.552 - 3.2, you would only go up to the tenths place.

    i'm assuming you know the basics of chemistry and you should be able to just use conversion factors to convert whatever you have in your data table to other units.
