Answer:

1.25×10¯² Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (in grams) = 12.5 g

Mass (in kilograms) =..?

Thus, we can obtain the mass of the sample in kilogram (kg) by doing the following:

Recall:

1000 g = 1 kg

Therefore,

12.5 g = 12.5 g × 1 kg/ 1000 g

12.5 g = 0.0125 Kg = 1.25×10¯² Kg

From the above illustration, 12.5 g is equivalent to 1.25×10¯² Kg.

Therefore, the mass of the sample in kilogram is 1.25×10¯² Kg
