You should be able to do it in your head in seconds or else you're in a world of hurt if you intend on pursuing a science-related career.
Of course I can do the conversions in my head. I was just trying to fit in with the conversation and failing...I had the conversions memorized in chem15 which was three semesters ago, I was just bitching because in calculations involving temp pressure equilibrium etc we use the ideal gas law which gets annoying at times. It's useful, don't get me wrong, but I am not math centric thus I can do a ton of calculations but I tend to get tired of doing so. Plus I wanted to sound clever but we know how that usually goes.
