Chapter 2: Q.2.56 (page 45)

Perform each of the following conversions using metric conversion factors:
a. $4.82 \times 10^{- 5}$ L to picoliters
b. $575.2$ dm to kilometers
c. $5 \times 10^{- 4}$ kg to micrograms
d. localid="1651727903680" $6.4 \times 10^{10}$ ps to seconds

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. $4.82 \times 10^{7} pL$

b. $0.0572 Km$

c. $500 mg$

d. $6.4 \times 10^{- 2} s$ $6.4 \times 10^{- 2} s$

Step by step solution

Given Information

Unit conversion for L to pL

Part (a) Explanation

The unit conversion of L into pL can be given as:

$1 L = 10^{12} pL$

So, $4.82 \times 10^{- 5} L$ will be

$4.82 \times 10^{- 5} L = 4.82 \times 10^{- 5} \times 10^{12} = 4.82 \times 10^{7} p L$

Part (b) Given Information

Unit conversion of dm into Km

Part (b) Explanation

The unit conversion for dm into Km can be given as:

So, 575.2 dm will be

$575.5 dm = 575.2 \times 0.1 = 0.0572 Km$

Part (c) Given Information

Unit conversion of Kg into mg

Part (c) Explanation

The unit conversion of Kg into mg can be given as:

$1 K g = 10^{6} m g$

So, $5 \times 10^{- 4} K g$ will be

$5 \times 10^{- 4} K g = 5 \times 10^{- 4} \times 10^{6} = 5 \times 10^{2} m g o r 500 m g$

Part (d) Given Information

Unit conversion of ps into s

Part (d) Explanation

The unit conversion of picoseconds into seconds can be given as:

$1 p s = 10^{- 12} s$

So, $6.4 \times 10^{10} p s = 6.4 \times 10^{10} \times 10^{- 12} = 6.4 \times 10^{- 2} s$
