Is learning dimensional analysis better than a only knowing stoichiometry table?
« on: July 04, 2018, 05:43:28 PM »
Starting AP Chem next year, and only learned how to solve stoichiometry problems with the table method. Should I learn dimensional analysis in case it has applications that are better than the stoich table?

Dimensional analysis is useful in other kinds of chemistry-related problems.  Getting the dimensional analysis correct is necessary but not sufficient to solve dilution problems correctly IMO.
