How Do You Convert cm3 to dm3 in Chemistry Calculations?

[ditto_299]

c = 1mol/dm3

v = 25cm3

would i have to keep the units constant, as in multiply the 25cm3 by 1000??

Thanks!

...as in multiply the 25cm3 by 1000??

Are there 1000 dm³ per cm³? I think not.

You should keep the units consistent. Use either dm³ or cm³.

If you feel confused in converting between the two, just do it at lower level:

dm is 0.10 meter? cm is 0.01 meter.

(1 dm)(1 dm)(1 dm)*(10 cm/1 dm)*(10 cm/1 dm)*(10 cm/1 dm)= what?

thanks i actually figured it out

but, i forgot whether M x cm^3 equaled to some other unit?

It's also useful to keep in mind that 1 L = 1 dm³ and 1 mL = 1 cm³.

Yes. One thousandth of the unit you will get from M x dm³.
