Question

Calculate the density 1.33*10⁻⁷ gcm⁻³ into kgm⁻³.

Answer 1

1 Kg = 1,000g

Therefore 1.33 × 10^-7 g = 1.33 × 10^-10 kg

1m³ = 1,000,000cm³

Therefore 1 cm³ = 1 × 10^-6 m³

Dividing the mass per unit volume you get:

(1.33 × 10^-10 kg) ÷ (1 × 10^-6 m³)

= 1.33 × 10^(-10--6) = 1.33 × 10^(-10 + 6) = 1.33 × 10^-4 kg/m³

Density = 1.33 × 10^-4 kg/m³
