Simple conversion but did I do it right?

    Can someone please confirm whether I've done the following conversion correctly?

    What does 0.132 Hartrees/Bohr^2 convert to in units of J/m^2?

    Not knowing what you did we can't say if you did it right.

    Ugh. You're right...I can't believe I forgot to post that.

    I took 0.132 and multiplied by 4.36 x 10^(-18) J/Hartree, then divided by (5.29 x 10^(-11))^2 m^2/Bohr^2. This gives me something like 205.7 J/m^2.
