Question

A submicroscopic particle suspended in a solution has a volume 1.3um^3. What is this volume in liters?

Answer 1

1000 liters = 1 m^3

and
1.3um^3 = 1.3x10^(-6)m^3

multiply both sides of the first equation by 1.3x10^(-6)
1.3x10^(-6) * 1000 liters = 1.3x10^(-6) * 1m^3
1.3x10^(-3) liters = 1.3x10^(-6) m^3

Answer 2

Answer:
`1.3* 10^(-15) L`.

Explanation:

Volume of the gas is defined as the space occupied by a substance. It is expressed in units like
`cm^3`,
`m^3` , L and ml.

All these units of volume are inter convertible.

We are given:

Volume of the gas =
`1.3\mu m^3`

Converting this unit of volume into 'L' by using conversion factor:

`10^(18)\mu m^3=1m^3`

`1.3\mu m^3=(1)/(10^(18))* 1.3=1.3*10^(-18)m^3`

`1m^3=1000L`

Thus
`1.3* 10^(-18)m^3=(1000)/(1)* 1.3* 10^(-18)=1.3* 10^(-15) L`

Thus the volume in Liters would be
`1.3* 10^(-15) L`.
