Question

A student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement fill in the missing part of this equation(0.050 ug/dL)• [] = ? g/mL

Answer 1

To convert a measurement of 0.050 ug/dL to g/mL, we need to multiply it by a conversion factor that relates micrograms (ug) to grams (g) and deciliters (dL) to milliliters (mL).

1 ug = 0.000001 g (or 1 g = 1,000,000 ug)

1 dL = 100 mL

So, the missing part of the equation would be:

(0.050 ug/dL) • (0.000001 g/ug) • (1 dL/100 mL) = 0.0000000005 g/mL

Therefore, the answer is 0.0000000005 g/mL.
