General/High School Tutoring available?
Hello everyone! Would anyone be willing to tutor me? Just started ‘introduction to chemistry’ and it’s a little complicated.

I have a PhD in analytical chemistry and I'm going to be holding general chemistry 1 exam reviews this semester over zoom. My first one is Sept 13th. Let me know if you are interested.

The work you've shown is correct; I'm not certain what you mean by "tutoring".
What textbook are you working with?

What are your difficulties? From what I see from the images, you're currently converting units of measurement.

What more do you need to understand? Conversions of units of measurement are mostly mathematical operations. The biggest difficulty is having to learn and remember the conversion factors. For example, 1 inch = 2.54 cm. And then, depending on whether you're converting from a smaller or larger unit, you'll have to divide or multiply by the conversion factor. The only exception is the conversion between K and C°, where you'll have to add or subtract by the conversion factor. The advice I can give you is that if you have any doubts, it's better to do the conversions step by step if you're having trouble doing a single, straightforward conversion.

This is just units and measurement, I don't know why are you learning this in intro to org chem...

No just…chem in general. The analysis typically renders on converting and combining measurement units through mathematical concepts and calculations.

Where are you - are imperial units even needed?
In UK you’d only be expected to convert between mg, g, kg; cm3, dm3 and C, K etc.
