Chapter 2: Problem 38

A student measures the mass of some sucrose as 0.947 mg. Convert that quantity to grams and to kilograms.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The mass of sucrose is approximately 0.000947 grams or 0.000000947 kilograms.

Step by step solution

01

Convert milligrams to grams

Use the conversion factor that one gram is equivalent to 1000 milligrams. So, to go from milligrams to grams, the given number of milligrams should be divided by 1000.\r\n So, \(0.947 mg = \frac{0.947}{1000} g\)
02

Convert grams to kilograms

The conversion factor from gram to kilogram is that one kilogram is equivalent to 1000 grams. So, to find out the amount in kilograms, the grams from the previous step should be divided by 1000. So, \( \frac{0.947}{1000} g = \frac{0.947}{1000000} kg\).
