Units for t

[MaryBanh_2K]

What are the correct units for t? The solutions manual leaves it in minutes but aren't the correct units in seconds?

[Brian_Ho_2B]

Time is generally written as seconds (as the standard SI unit); however, it can be represented as minutes or hours depending on the duration of the reaction. If you do happen to change time from seconds to minutes or from hours to minutes and so on, remember to change the value and units of your "k" value so that the units at the end match up.

[Kishan Shah 2G]

You can use whichever units you would like but, as Brian said, make sure the units match up in all of your terms before solving.

[Luc Zelissen 1K]

It easiest if you change the t value to the time value of your rate constant. In this way you can easily multiply and get the right answer without changing the rate constant units.

[Anna Heckler 2C]

t can be in seconds, minutes, or hours, but MUST be consistent across all terms or it will mess up your calculations.

I think it depends

[Tanmay Singhal 1H]

i think it depends on what the problem asks for. most times in calculations it is seconds

[Myka G 1l]

T can be in either seconds, minutes, or hours depending on what the problem asks for. As before mentioned the same units must be used throughout the problem.

[Rodrigo2J]

t can be in any unit of time depending on what is asked in the problem. Seconds is generally used because it is the SI unit we have associated with time. Just make sure that your units cancel and that the math makes sense.

[Leonardo Le Merle 1D]

Just to ensure I didn't mix up anything I usually convert everything to seconds before trying to solve the problem - if it asks to be expressed in minutes or hours you can convert back at the end.

[Ying Yan 1F]

It usually just depends on the units of the information you were given in the problem. I'm pretty sure you won't be marked wrong if you leave your t in either minutes or seconds (or even hour) as it is the correct number of sec/min/hr. I hope this helped!

[Diana Andrade_4F]

The units of t depend on the problem, but be consistent when doing calculations!

[Samuel Tzeng 1B]

The SI units for time is seconds

[Alfred Barrion 2H]

It honestly depends on the context of the question, but I use seconds because it is the SI unit. It also depends on your k.

[Jacob_Eberson_2D]

i don't think it matters as long as it's consistent throughout all the calculations and everything. I usually use seconds.

[Saatvika Nair]

t is mostly in seconds, however, it can be in minutes or hours. Just make sure that all your units match up across the formula - if you're doing minutes or hours, make sure that the others are relative to that as well.

[Neeti Indiresan 3I]

It really depends on the reaction and how long it takes. But seconds is a standard unit.

[Michelle Gong]

T is usually measured in s, especially for rate reactions because they tend to be very quick. For half-lives, it's usually measured in hours. Generally though, it doesn't matter which units you use as long as you convert everything to match that unit.

[Anubhav_Chandla1G]

T might be expressed in seconds, minutes, or hours, depending on the situation.

[Riya Sawhney 1C]

The SI unit for time is seconds (symbol: s), however, we don't always work in SI units and may be asked for answers in terms of minutes or hours, which we can convert to using stoichiometry. Just make sure your units cancel out!

[Julia Todorov 2F]

seconds is the SI unit but you can use any unit as long as it stays consistent

[Kelly McFarlane]

As long as the unit is consistent across your calculations and matches the answer choice, it is okay to use anything. Technically, the SI unit for time is seconds so that is probably preferred or used most often.

[Jennifer Fuentes 2K]

The tesla (symbolized T) is the standard unit of magnetic flux density. It is equivalent to one weber per meter squared (1 Wb · m -2 ). Reduced to base units in the International System of Units ( SI ), 1 T represents one kilogram per second squared per ampere (kg · s -2 · A -1 ).

[Violet Mbela 2B]

Hi,
The standard unit of time is seconds, but usually, the common rule of thumb is just to make sure that your units match up with the units of the answer/values given.

[Mario Prado 1K]

Hello,

t can be in whatever unit you would like it to be second, mins, hours, just as long as the t unit is consistent for all values.

Hope this helps.

[Anish_Marripati_2F]

It depends on the problem, but usually it would be seconds.

[SerenaSabedra]

seconds is standard, I recommend doing all calculations in seconds before any conversions needed for a specific problem.

[Clarence Clavite 2K]

t, when it is referring to time, can be seconds, minutes, or hours. Just make sure the units are consistent in your calculations.

[Talia Tam 3L]

t refers to time. It can be given in seconds, minutes, hours, etc. Just make sure that your units match/cancel out in your equations.

[105740916]

as t refers to time it does not matter whether you choose sec, min, or h as long as you match it up with the rest of the problem

[indigoaustin 3H]

t represents time and can have different units depending on what the problem asks. I believe the standard unit is seconds, but make sure the units work out with any equations you are using.
