Question

Convert the volume to the following units: 44.0 mu L to thefollowing units:

a.convert to millileters.

b. convert to hectoliters

c. conver to cubic centimeters

d. convert to decaliters

e. convert to deciliters

f. convert to kiloliters

g. convert to megaliters

h. convert to nanoliters

i. convert to picoliters

Answer 1

V = 44 mu L --> assume "mu" units are "micro" i.e. the greek leter miu "mu"

then

44 microliters:

44*10^-6 Liters --> 4.4*10^^-5 L

a)

10^3 microliters = 1 mL

44 microliters = 44*10^-3 = 0.044 mL

b)

1 HL = 100 L

1 microliter = 10^-6 L

then

raito is 10^2 vs 10^-6 --> 10^-8

44*10^-8 = 4.4*10^-7 HL

c)

cm3 --> 1 mL = 1 cm3

so, form previous data

0.044 mL --> 0.044 cm3

d)

Deca liter = 10 L

0.044 mL --> 0.044 *10^-3 L --> 0.044 *10^-4 decaliter

e)

deciliter

1 deciliter = 100 mL

0.044 mL

0.044 *10^-2 = 0.00044 deciliters

f)

kiloliter --> 10^3 liters

x kiloliters --> 4.4*10^-5 L

x = 4.4*10^^-5 L/10^3 = 4.4*10^-8 kL

g)

megaliter --> 10^6 L

4.4*10^-5 L --> 4.4*10^-5 *10^-6 = 4.4*10^-11 L

h)

nanoliter = 10^-9 L

4.4*10^-5 L --> 4.4*10^-5 L * 10^9 nL/ L = 4.4*10^4 nL

i)

picoliter = 10^-12

4.4*10^-5 L --> 4.4*10^-5 L * 10^12 nL/ L = 4.4*10^7 pL
