Question

The volume of a single nickel atom is 8.10×10-24 cm3. what is the volume of a nickel atom in microliters?

Answer 1

To convert the volume of a single nickel atom from cm3 to microliters, we use the conversion 1 microliter (μL) = 1 × 10^-6 L and the equivalent of 1 cm3 to 1 mL. After performing the conversion, we find that the volume is 8.10×10^-21 μL.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a single nickel atom is 8.10×10^-24 cm3. To convert this volume into microliters, we can use the conversion where 1 microliter (μL) is equal to 1 × 10^-6 L (0.000001 L) and remember that 1 cm3 is equivalent to 1 mL.

First, convert the nickel atom volume from cm3 to mL:

8.10×10^-24 cm3 × (1 mL / 1 cm3) = 8.10×10^-24 mL

Now convert from mL to μL:

8.10×10^-24 mL × (103 μL / 1 mL) = 8.10×10^-21 μL

Therefore, the volume of a single nickel atom in microliters is μL.

Answer 2

8.10 x 10^-21 microliters This requires you to know what the prefixes are and what the volume of a liter is. The volume of a liter is 1000 cubic centimeters (cm^3). micro is one millionth (10^-6). So a microliter is one millionth of a liter, or 0.001 cubic centimeters (1 x 10^-3 cm^3). So divide the volume of a nickel atom in cm^3 by the volume of a microliter to get the answer. 8.10x10^-24 / 1 x 10^-3 = 8.10x10^-21
