Question

Write the 1 g equivalents using the following prefixes: (a) mega−, (b) kilo−, (c) deci−, (d) centi−, (e) milli−, (f) micro−, (g) nano−, (h) pico−

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit is defined as the quantity that is used as a standard for measurement.

S.I. unit of mass of kilograms. Other units in which mass of a substance can be measured are grams, milligrams, etc...

All these units are inter convertible.

• For a: Mega-

The conversion factor used is:

`1g=10^(-6)Mg`

• For b: kilo-

The conversion factor used is:

`1g=10^(-3)kg`

• For c: deci-

The conversion factor used is:

`1g=10dg`

• For d: centi-

The conversion factor used is:

`1g=10^(3)cg`

• For e: milli-

The conversion factor used is:

`1g=10^3mg`

• For f: micro-

The conversion factor used is:

`1g=10^6\mu g`

• For g: nano-

The conversion factor used is:

`1g=10^9ng`

• For h: pico-

The conversion factor used is:

`1g=10^(12)pg`
